Nanci Panuccio

How much exposition is too much? Should you begin your story with exposition? And how do you write exposition in a way that isn’t excessive, awkward, or dull?

In today’s episode, we'll talk about how to write exposition in a way that doesn’t sound like exposition. 

We'll cover:

  • What exposition is, and why it's essential;
  • Why it's not necessary to begin your story with exposition;
  • Two different types of exposition; and
  • How to slip exposition into the action so the reader isn't aware it's even there.
