TRANSCRIPT

Earnest Hemingway’s Iceberg Theory of Writing

Ninety percent of an iceberg is invisible, hidden beneath the surface of the water.

In much the same way, the largest part of a story is often invisible.

Great writers only show you the tip of the iceberg. They let your imagination create the rest.

The amount of information a good writer directly gives to a reader is much smaller than the amount a good reader can figure out on his or her own.
