📖 BOOK SUMMARY: Sandra Gerth's "Show, Don't Tell" is a writer's guide focused on improving descriptive writing. The book distinguishes between "showing" (using vivid details and sensory language) and "telling" (directly stating information), arguing that showing creates more engaging narratives. It provides numerous examples and exercises to help writers identify and correct instances of telling in their work, particularly regarding backstory, character descriptions, setting, and emotional portrayal. The guide also addresses potential pitfalls like overshowing and explains when telling can be effective. Finally, it includes supplementary resources and additional exercises for continued practice.
