I’m excited to announce that my brand new course, “Show, Don’t Tell,” is now live on Udemy! After months of preparation, I can finally share these powerful techniques with writers who are ready to create truly immersive storytelling.
What’s This Course About?
“Show, don’t tell.” We’ve all heard this advice countless times, but what does it really mean? And how do you actually implement it in your writing?
In this four-week course, I break down this often misunderstood concept into practical, actionable techniques that will transform your prose from merely informative to genuinely captivating. Drawing from my experience as an MFA graduate from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop and as the author of bestsellers like Jack Wakes Up and The Maltese Jordans, I’ll guide you through the essential elements that make readers see your stories unfold.
What You’ll Learn:
- Week One: Setting / Creating the Stage – Master the art of establishing your story’s “Givens” while keeping tension high
- Week Two: Slowing it Down – Learn when and how to expand moments for maximum impact
- Week Three: Verbs – Discover the three types of verbs that instantly identify whether your writing is static or dynamic
- Week Four: Dialogue with Bodies – Blend speech and action so your characters are seen, not just heard

Why This Course Matters
Many writers fear that “showing” means boring their readers with excessive description. In reality, the opposite is true! When readers can visualize your story world and connect with your characters through concrete action, they become fully invested in your narrative.
This isn’t just theory—I’ll provide practical exercises and examples throughout the course so you can immediately apply these concepts to your own work.

This course is perfect for:
- Fiction writers at any level who want to make their prose more engaging
- Memoirists seeking to create vivid scenes from their experiences
- Screenwriters looking to strengthen their scene descriptions
