Very informative. I know I need to have an editor for my children's book, but had no idea what I needed. Thank you for presenting this clearly. I liked the way you made the analogy to building a house.
Rather than telling readers what's happening, authors use this technique to show drama unfold on the page. 'Telling' is factual and avoids detail; while 'showing,' is detailed and places the human subject at the centre of the story!

Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful, thank you. One question, on line editing should the showing instead of telling be the other way around?
