Thesaurus of Emotions: A Guide for Writers and Screenwriters

Any screenwriter and prose writer knows how difficult it is to describe a person's emotions. Angela Ackerman and Becca Puglisi, experienced authors, have faced this problem themselves and decided to help writers: in their book, they explored and systematized 130... different emotions and offered a unique navigator in the world of crafting contradictory, authentic, and impressive characters.
In addition to the dictionary, they prepared a compact study material that provides a recipe for literary description of emotions based on the principle of "show, don’t tell." Furthermore, the "Thesaurus of Emotions" examines the important role of subtext, dialogue, and backstory, helps correlate different emotions with each other, and provides food for thought and opportunities for creative brainstorming.
The book will be an indispensable aid for both established screenwriters and authors, as well as for those who are just seeking their place in this challenging yet exciting endeavor.
