About this listen
Show, don't tell is probably the single most important piece of advice given to writers. But many writers struggle to understand this powerful principle or have difficulty applying it to their own work. Even experienced authors sometimes don't grasp the finer nuances of showing and telling.
In this book, Sandra Gerth draws on her experience as an editor and a best-selling author to show you how to show and tell you when to tell.
Each chapter includes concrete examples and exercises that will hone your writing skills.
Whether you're a novice writer working on your first story or an established author who has already learned the basics of showing and telling, this book will help you to:
- Grasp the difference between showing and telling.
- Understand why showing is such a powerful tool.
- Spot telling in your own manuscript.

Short and to the point
Loved the amount of examples to demonstrate the difference between showing and telling. I thought I’d cracked it til I read this book. I particularly liked the explanation where telling is better than showing too. Recommended for all authors.

very well explained
excellent and easy to follow. the 15 words evaded her, the glow of salty sweat dampened her brow as the pressure of the 15 word minimum mounted
