Show vs. Tell: What Does This Even Mean?

Let’s Write Your Novel! is a place where writers with a story on their hearts will find the clarity they need to finally write their novels.  If you want to write a novel, or you’ve started writing and gotten stuck, let this podcast serve as your toolbox for crafting a solid story that will connect with readers.  Each short episode will give you one skill or strategy to apply to planning, drafting and/or revising your novel. We’ll also take time to explore the other equally important things that come with this process, such as accountability, mindset, and time management. Your story matters. You deserve to write it and you have a reader out there who needs it.  Stephanie Dethlefs is a writer, certified book coach, teacher, and lifelong avid reader.
