Have you ever heard the common imperative ‘show, don’t tell’ and wondered what it really meant? Writing detail can be essential to good storytelling. This one-day workshop takes the view that showing and telling both have their place in writing; its focus will be on teaching you to understand the difference in a practical way that you can easily apply to your writing.

Using a combination of tuition, examples and writing exercises, the course will cover topics including scene versus summary, concrete detail, imagery and the senses as elements of showing. This empowering workshop will give you the tools to enrich your prose and allow it to make a visceral and lasting impression on the reader.
