MASTERCLASS

Demystify ‘Show, Don’t Tell’

The goal of the ‘Show, Don’t Tell’ technique is to highlight what things mean to characters in order to bring the reader into the emotion and action of the story. In this Masterclass (originally filmed live for our Tenacious Writing program), you’ll learn what ‘Show’ actually is and how to use this technique on the page. With tons of examples from published works and actionable tips, you’ll be able to deftly wield this technique, immediately level up your prose, and create connection between your characters and your readers.
