Show, Don’t Tell – Storyteller Academy Class
Show Don’t Tell for Young Readers
A class for writers and illustrators
📚 Sunday, August 9 • 10:00 AM–2:00 PM PT (1:00-5:00 PM ET) – ZOOM (virtual)
Want to bring your stories to life and create unforgettable reading experiences for children? Join award-winning author Miranda Paul for an engaging workshop on one of the most important skills in children’s writing: showing instead of telling.
In this interactive class, you’ll learn how to transform flat descriptions into vivid scenes that capture young readers’ imaginations. Through examples, discussion, and practical exercises, you’ll explore techniques for creating emotional connections, building strong characters, and adding sensory details that make stories leap off the page.
Whether you’re writing picture books, chapter books, or middle-grade fiction, this workshop will give you concrete tools to strengthen your storytelling and deepen reader engagement. Be ready to share some of your favorite books with other attendees as well—we all learn from each other and examples as models. Bring a work in progress or a few pages of your writing to apply what you’ve learned in real time.
