Have you ever held onto a secret you've been dying to share, and then finally...you can?
For the last few weeks I've been helping Angela and Becca at Writers Helping Writers keep a BIG secret...what the next book in their thesaurus series will be.
It might seem strange to not tell one's readers what book you're planning to release...unless you happen to write books on Show, Don't Tell like Angela and Becca do! They couldn't resist the opportunity to show, not tell, by waiting for the cover reveal. They even created a *REDACTED* cover for it, which you might have seen floating around.
We're revealing the cover at long last!
*drum roll*
The next book in the descriptive thesaurus series is
It's been 7 years since the original Emotion Thesaurus hit the shelves. Many writers have credited this unusual book with transforming their writing. This guide is packed with helpful lists of body language, thoughts, and visceral sensations for 75 different emotions, which makes it easier for writers to convey what characters feel.
Since 2012, many have asked the authors if they would add more emotions, so that's what Angela & Becca have done. This new edition has added 55 more emotions, bringing the total to 130.
There are other new additions to the book and in fact, it's almost doubled in size! I recommend checking out the full list of emotions (and some sample entries) HERE.
And more good news: this book is available for preorder!
You can find it on Amazon, Kobo, Apple Books (iTunes), and Indiebound.
One last thing: go grab some free education!
The first edition is awesome already!
ReplyDeleteIt really is!!
DeleteI have the first edition and am looking forward to the second!
ReplyDeleteMe too! :)
DeleteA second edition would be awesome.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to check out the additions!
DeleteJemi, thank you! I am so grateful to have your help on not just this launch, but practically everything we do you are always there helping us. We are very lucky to have you in our corner!

You're very welcome - it's always a pleasure to help you out!!
DeleteIt's always good to freshen an older release. Think of how the authors have grown since the first edition, and now the readers will benefit.
ReplyDeleteExactly! Looking forward to it!
DeleteSounds like a great book to have (first or second edition).
ReplyDeleteI love my 1st edition - looking forward to 2nd! :)
DeleteWell this is better than ice cream...a second edition of emotions for our characters!
ReplyDeleteTeresa
I know! Can't wait! :)
DeleteWhat a wonderful idea. Emotions do seem to be something that quite a lot of writers struggle with. As a greedy ready I am always happy to hear of something which makes a writer's life easier and more productive.
ReplyDeleteMe too - Angela & Becca's book are amazing! :)
DeleteOoh, a thesaurus that focuses on emotions sounds so intriguing. Congrats to Angela and Becca!
ReplyDeleteThey are fabulous books - can't wait for this edition! :)
DeleteHi Jemi...
ReplyDeleteWOW! Congrats to Angela and Becca. I had heard of the first edition. Since emotion is one of my strong suits, I never looked into it, BUT one can never learn to much about emotion, right? So I will definitely pick up this new and improved copy. Very exciting!
Emotions are so key to make writing come alive. These books are awesome!
DeleteI'll have to get this as I have the first edition and love it! Congratulations Angela and Becca!
ReplyDeleteMe too - I think I'll get the new one in print version this time :)
DeleteI have a copy of the 1st edition of this book. Great to see there is a new version with even more emotions. Thanks for sharing. :)
