Hello! Today I’m helping authors Angela Ackerman and Becca Puglisi launch their new book, The Emotion Thesaurus (Second Edition)!
You might know about The Emotion Thesaurus and even have it on your shelf. But chances are, you may not have known a second edition was in the works. Becca and Angela decided to keep it a surprise and only recently announced the book was releasing! So not only are you getting a new thesaurus, but…
Your Favorite Book Is Now Bigger & Better!
The Emotion Thesaurus, is known for its powerful lists that help writers show (rather than tell) character emotion through body language, thoughts, visceral sensations, dialogue cues, and behavior. This second edition, almost twice the size of the original, gives writers more of what they love: more emotions (55 more to be exact!) more teaching content, and more writing tips.
Here are three of the new entries: Euphoria, Vindicated, and Schadenfreude.
If you’d like to check into it, Goodreads has some reviews up, and you can find even more information here.
But wait, there’s more! Do you want to attend a FREE writing conference? Or a writing retreat? A workshop? Have your yearly membership to a professional writer’s organization suddenly paid for?
OF COURSE YOU DO!
Angela and Becca have a giveaway on right now to celebrate their release, and one lucky winner will get their choice of the above, up to a $500 US value. There are some conditions so check that out, but this is the giveaway of a lifetime, so hurry over to enter. And good luck!
The thesauruses are invaluable tools for writers. This new addition is a great way to start your collection, or add to your existing one! We love our thesauruses and blog about them often!
Emotional Wound Thesaurus, Rural Setting Thesaurus, Urban Setting Thesaurus, The Setting Thesaurus, Positive/Negative Trait Thesaurus, and check out the Master Your Craft posts to see how these tools are applied to writing.
Thank you so much for the shout out about the book and the giveaway! We are so excited to give away this prize and can’t wait to help with one writer’s next step to a sustainable writing career. I would love if someone from the Winged Pen community won…how incredible that would be!
Thank you so much for all the support. Can’t say it enough <3
We love to share our feelings about these tools! Of course we would love to win the giveaway! Fingers crossed!
So thrilled about this updated resource. Who knew the word SCHADENFREUDE
would show up in the thesaurus. Now WE know what to do with that sinister emotion in our characters!
They have compiled a fantastic list! Definitely takes our writing up a notch!
Aw, you guys are awesome–thank you for all the compliments. I hope the book helps a ton. 🙂
