'Show, donâ€™t tell' is probably the single most-important piece of advice given to writers. But many writers struggle to understand this powerful principle or have difficulty applying it to their own work. Even experienced authors sometimes donâ€™t grasp the finer nuances of showing and telling. In this book, Sandra Gerth draws on her experience as an editor and a best-selling author to show you how to show and tell you when to tell. Each chapter includes concrete examples and exercises that will hone your writing skills. Whether youâ€™re a novice writer working on your first story or an established author who has already learned the basics of 'showing' and 'telling', this book will help you to: - Grasp the difference between 'showing' and 'telling'. - Understand why 'showing' is such a powerful tool. - Spot 'telling' in your own manuscript. - Fix bland passages and turn them into compelling scenes. - Keep from 'telling' what you have already 'shown'. - Avoid the three danger areas of 'telling'. - Describe your characters and your setting in interesting ways. - Put powerful emotions into your writing. - Incorporate backstory into your novel without resorting to 'telling'. - Recognize 'telling' in dialogue. - Avoid 'overshowing' and swamping your readers with too many details. - Learn when 'telling' is actually a good thing. - Immerse your readers into your story and keep them captivated from beginning to end.
