"Show, don't tell" is a common writing mantra. And while it's solid advice, it gives telling the short shrift. Sometimes it's better to show and sometimes it's better to tell. You can't do one or the other arbitrarily.
In this episode of Writer Unleashed, we'll explore when to show and when to tell, and how to blend both showing and telling to their best-combined effect.
Write. Revise. Finish. The Emerging Writers Academy is where fiction and memoir writers get the support to do all three - with a community that's doing it alongside you. Spots close January 15. Learn more at nancipanuccio.com/writer.
