In this course, you’ll learn how to share your story in ways that resonate with and captivate your readers. You’ll learn how to properly balance showing the vivid details of your own journey with telling the broader themes that your readers can apply in their own lives.
Show and Tell is for new and experienced nonfiction writers, and anyone who wants to engage and enrich readers with your own life journey. By the end of this course, you will have everything you need to craft powerful true stories that both captivate and inform your readers.
