Say It Better: Moving Beyond "Show, Don't Tell"

We know the sage advice, "show, don't tell." But how do we do it well in our writing? Using good descriptions, concrete details, and metaphors in your writing can unlock your voice and intensify your piece. It can advance good writing to excellent writing and absorb the reader in your work. Being strategic about your chosen descriptions and crafting them wisely will turn your work into a fine-tuned piece. In this workshop, we will discuss the techniques of showing instead of telling, look at some examples, and practice writing vivid descriptions.
