Review: A MUST FOR FICTION WRITERS
Rating: 5 out of 5

This is a very short book, but worth every penny. All writers are familiar with the adage: Show, don't tell". However, James Thayer skillfully illustrates what an enormous difference showing can make by offering wonderfully vivid passages from various novels, and then rewriting those passages to "tell" rather than "show". What a huge difference. I expect that even experienced writers can benefit from this small gem.
