GC: This book does what it sets out to. It puts what at first seems like hackneyed advice that is never adequately explained into context, and has real practical examples. I'll need to read and practice quite a lot morebefore I really "get it", but I can already see some improvement.

josephine huet: This book is a great help, especially for an indie author like myself.
It 'shows' what do to do in different situations and is so easy to read and understand.
So glad I made this purchase.

JSFW: This guide is such an incredible tool to teach writers how to show and not tell. As a freelance editor, I recommend it to every single one of my clients. My only complaint is that there were a handful of grammatical errors and comma placement errors, and Hardy's obvious expertise as a writer might lead other authors to believe everything is properly edited and learn bad habits. So, everyone looking to write should absolutely read this book for the message and should find other resources to teach them about proper grammar and punctuation.

Brandon Stephen: Show vs. tell can be a topic that has people feeling stunted in finding better approaches, and this book will really show you the private conversations you'll be having as a writer to appreciate yourself and the mental models created, refined, and utilized for writing.

I picked up this awesome gem of knowledge after glancing some reviews of how the author immediately had a reader engaged in deep POV on the first page in one of her novels.

And since then, I've been highlighting, note taking, and bookmarking ever since reading this. I would capture tips and tricks with other how-to's and know to show more than just telling. But, I thought to myself on how can I possibly get out of that tell prose myself?

And then Hardy mentioned something in the novel, something so obvious that I should've known, as to why we tend to tell at first to ourselves. It's just a subconscious habit we do so we can get that creativity flowing, which is good if we need that information immediately, but it is our due diligence as writers to GO BACK to that tell prose and convert it to a show prose.

But just when I reached an epiphany with how Hardy articulates herself well with...
