The Emotion Thesaurus: A Writer's Guide to Character Expression

by Angela Ackerman (Author), Becca Puglisi (Author) Format: Paperback
4.7 out of 5 stars (2,896)

Purchase options and add-ons

One of the biggest problem areas for writers is conveying a character's emotions to the reader in a unique, compelling way. This book comes to the rescue by highlighting 75 emotions and listing the possible body language cues, thoughts, and visceral responses for each. Using its easy-to-navigate list format, readers can draw inspiration from character cues that range in intensity to match any emotional moment. The Emotion Thesaurus also tackles common emotion-related writing problems and provides methods to overcome them. This writing tool encourages writers to show, not tell emotion and is a creative brainstorming resource for any fiction project.
