Hang around enough writers, show up at enough writer’s conferences, read enough writing magazines, and eventually you hear someone admonishing writers to, "Show, don’t tell." Everyone says that’s great advice. But what does it mean? And how do we accomplish it in our writing?

Having trouble grasping what it means to "Show, don’t tell"? You’re not alone. Many writers hear the instruction but don’t know how to implement it. We’re left with many questions: What is "show, don’t tell" and how does it work? Why does it improve our writing? How do we identify when we’re "telling"? And how do we convert our "telling" into "showing"?

This packet is designed to help you grasp the "Show, don’t tell" concept and implement it in your writing.

See why "telling" robs your story of muscle and why "showing" adds power to your prose. Through side-by-side before-and-after examples, see "telling" converted into "showing." Learn how to identify "telling" in your own writing and how to change it into powerful "showing."

Your writing will never be the same!
