Publisher's summary

Read any writing tip article or book, and one piece of advice you're sure to see is "Show don't tell." For many new writers - and even established ones - showing rather than telling is downright confusing. Just what does an editor mean when she notes "Show don't tell" on your manuscript?

Mastering Show Don't Tell looks at how to identify and fix all the places where telling - or exposition - rears up in your writing: backstory; info dumps; backfill; vague descriptions; irrelevant character details; emotional states; motivational tells; narration; summarizing; poorly written dialogue; and more!

Part of the Storytelling 101 Quick Read series, Mastering Show Don't Tell answers all of your questions in a brief, easy to understand format. It cuts to the chase and provides practical, useful information that can be followed step-by-step.

ROB BIGNELL is the author of more than 60 books and an established editor who has helped more than 300 authors achieve their publishing dreams. His works include hiking trail guidebooks, a novel, children’s books, and poetry.
