Innovative yet accessible writing strategies appropriate for both fiction and nonfiction are presented in this enchanting tale of a writing lion who holds court for a cast of animal friends. Aspiring writers learn the essential nature of nouns and adjectives and how to use them to express their individual visions so that they “show and don’t tell” every time. Writing lessons are cleverly integrated into a tale that incorporates a sound chip, a scratch-and-sniff patch, and a tactile object to engage the aspiring writer’s five senses in fun proofs.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Over the course of a quarter of a century, Josephine Nobisso's author programs and writing workshops received raves reviews and such success that she seldom left her own county of Suffolk, on Long Island, New York, to present her self-imposed limit of 100 days of programming per year. In Show; Don't Tell! Secrets of Writing, our writer shares the innovative strategies--based on the most authentic use of grammar--that occurred to her during the writing and re-writing of her books, now numbering over 100 volumes. She was born in the Bronx, New York, to Italian immigrant parents, a fact to which she attributes her keen sensitivity to language. Ms. Nobisso's work has won numerous important accolades and awards, has been translated into several tongues, and has been made into stage plays. She lives in a mountain village, in an ancient stone cottage in Europe, but spent much of her life in the United States, too.
