A couple of months ago I wrote a blog piece on how to ‘show, don’t tell‘. It remains the most read piece on my website. It’s something I’ve certainly struggled with in the past, and I know so many writers who are the same.

 

Today, I did an Instagram live to talk through my understanding of showing instead of telling. We worked through some exercises and examples.

 

I’ve found practice is the only way to really get to grips with this rule. So, to go with the talk, I’ve produced an exercise book, to practice your showing skills, and to keep the tips handy when you’re drafting and editing.
