Show, Don’t Tell – Writing with Vivid Sensory Detail

Welcome to our free monthly virtual workshop series on writing - Beyond the Blank Page.

This dynamic series is meticulously crafted for writers at all stages of their creative journey, offering a dedicated space for inspiration, professional guidance, and the cultivation of connections within a vibrant community of wordsmiths.


📍 Topic: Show, Don’t Tell – Writing with Vivid Sensory Detail


What to Expect in this Workshop:

The difference between telling a story and showing it is the key to immersing your readers. But how do you balance vivid descriptions with maintaining a dynamic narrative?

In this workshop, we’ll dive into the art of showing through the five senses to create rich, immersive experiences in your writing. Through professional insights and interactive discussions, we’ll dive into:

📍 Engage the Senses – Learn to craft descriptions that bring the world to life using sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell.
📍 Avoid Overloading with Detail – Strike the perfect balance between detail and pacing so that your sensory descriptions enhance, not hinder, the flow.
📍 Use Sensory Details to Show, Not Tell – Discover how sensory details can reveal character emotions, setting mood, and deepen your plot without overt exposition.
📍 Create Emotional Impact with Sensory Writing – Use sensory imagery to amplify the emotional tone of a scene and connect with readers on a deeper level.

🎁 Exclusive Offer for Attendees

As a special thank you for attending, all participants will receive a free 1,000 word critique on a desired scene from your manuscript evaluating showing vs. telling. Additionally, you'll enjoy a discount towards a First 50 Pages Critique. This is a unique opportunity to get professional feedback and take your writing to the next level!
