I just installed a bookplate signed by the authors of Storytelling with Data Before & After. Thank you Cole, Alex and @mikevizneros.bsky.social for signing and sending it, and most of all for another great book.

One of my favorite tips from Storytelling with Data Before & After is turning off gridlines (chap 15). The author does this 99% of the time, and so do I. My colleagues don't all agree, but they do admire my grid-free visualizations.

Storytelling with Data Before & After releases this week. Chap 19 by @mikevizneros.bsky.social has recommendations you can do in 5 mins, 10 mins or a full hour, yielding more bang for your buck. The authors really get it. Great book.

#SWDBeforeAndAfter #BookReview #datavisualization
Open book showing a two-page spread from Before & After: Practical makeovers for powerful data stories. The pages are filled with small business-style charts, graphs, and dashboards arranged in grid-like layouts. Each page displays multiple redesign examples, covering topics like marketing performance, customer surveys, and financial results. The visuals show clean, professional data makeovers without explanatory annotations.
If the first book gave you the “why” and “what,” #SWDBeforeAndAfter gives you the “how” in the most hands-on way.

Many are trained for effective writing and speaking. Few are trained on creating effective slides and graphs to convey the right story.
If that is you, check out the new book Storytelling with Data Before & After. Release date is Sept 23.

sample open book view from storytelling with data before & after
"storytelling with data, before & after" will enhance the graphs you make for educating and influencing other people. I regularly use their techniques for dataviz with @plotly.com , but they are tool agnostic and apply to any plotting tool. Book comes out next month.
