How to combine showing action with effective telling

The Master Emotive Storytelling workshop is for fiction
writers who want to decipher the contradictions in the old ‘show don’t
tell’ mantra so they can avoid author intrusion and maximize evocative
actions and sensory details.

Both showing and telling are valid tools. Showing creates drama and
movement while telling conveys information succinctly and poetically. I
will help you find a balance between action and brevity that will
captivate readers.

Active showing is one of the fastest ways to improve your writing and
get your stories noticed. You’ll have emotive prose in no time!
