Have you heard the show don’t tell adage countless times, yet still aren’t clear how to apply it? The Master Emotive Storytelling workshop is for fiction writers who want to decipher the contradictions in this mantra so they can avoid author intrusion and maximise evocative actions and sensory details.

Showing creates drama and movement and telling conveys information succinctly and poetically. Both are valid tools and I will help you find a balance between action and brevity that will captivate readers. You’ll have emotive prose in no time!
