Welcome to Writers Helping Writers, the new home of The Bookshelf Muse. Becca and I are super pleased to finally open the doors to our new website, which we hope will be a better organized and functional home for all our writer-centric content!
Please have a poke around the toolbar to see what we have going on, like the great list of Free Writing Tools that will be added in the days ahead. And did we mention that all our Thesaurus Collections are now in one place? WHW is still under construction, so you may see a few blank holes here and there, but when we’re done, we hope this will become a true haven for writers.
Angela is a writing coach, international speaker, and bestselling author who loves to travel, teach, empower writers, and pay-it-forward. She also is a founder of One Stop For Writers, a portal to powerful, innovative tools to help writers elevate their storytelling.

I have been following you guys since these books were just blog posts. The Emotion Thesaurus is a priceless writing tool I probably lean on too often. Keep doing what you’re doing–I can’t WAIT to see how these new books can help deepen my characters. Thanks!
Mick Sylvestre says
If I won these two books I would dress up like a bear and dance.
Record it to video and give a review of them both.
How’s that for creme corn?
M.
Mick Sylvetsre says
Oh me! Me!
If I win I will give you a stellar review, like I did on your first book.
Heyyyyyy?
LOL!
And I will dress up like a bear holding the two books and make a video of it.
How’s that for Fandom?
ANGELA ACKERMAN says
haha, I might hold you to that if Random.org picks you, Mick!
Alecia Miller says
The site looks great – too bad I found this right at the end of lunch. 🙁 Will have to come back later to really dig around…
Sharon Allen says

Welcome, “The Bookshelf Muse”, to the Writers Helping Writers site. LOL. I just got your book, The Emotion Thesaurus PDF, some days ago and I’ve browsed over it, thoroughly, already… It’s helped me and my girlfriend a lot. Thank you very much! I’m from the Philippines and let me tell you that your book has really given me hope. To be honest, I would’ve quit writing, had it not been for your book. Really. Thank you!
Now, you have provided us here online with the Writers Helping Writers website. I really appreciate you making this site accessible to everyone on the web. And you’re also giving away your new ones—The Positive & Negative Trait Thesaurus Books—for free too! To those who’ll fortunately get at least one of these two books, I say to you, “Congratulations in advance! Please take good care of your book(s).”
Raonaid Luckwell says
Argh! Every time I type my response it freezes. So I am going to type out my response first in a word document and paste in. Page keeps not “responding”
Okay – I want to say what a goddess send your Emotion Thesaurus has been for me. Whenever I meet a new writer or a newbie writer, I pimp out your book ALL THE TIME. Will definitely have to get these two.
Raonaid Luckwell says
PS shared this page on my writing group’s facebook page and mine.
ANGELA ACKERMAN says
So sorry WP is messing with your posts! Thanks for keeping at it. I have copied my responses before hitting send too, lol. I am thrilled the book has been so helpful–I love hearing that. Emotion is such an area of struggle, so we’re so pleased to be able to take off some of the stress over it. 🙂 Thanks for sharing, too!
ted says
Have you consided LiveFyre for comment moderation? I’ve used them on my site with great success.

I’m so glad you guys are flourishing and continuing to expand your horizons. You have certainly helped me achieve that in my writing, and I doubt (just this once) that words could describe how grateful I am for all the help you have given me.
I look forward to seeing where Writers Helping Writers takes you in the future!
For now it will at least travel to my Pinterest boards and I’ll give my writing buddies the heads up.
Sincerely,

Beth says
Look at all these comments! Congratulations on your new site, and your new books.
Southpaw says
If we find a link in post issue, do you have a place we should notify you? For example, in the Emotion Thesarus: Hurt (https://writershelpingwriters.net/2008/11/emotion-thesarus-entry-hurt-emotional/) the link to embarrassment is no longer correct.
Oh, there is a plugin for updating all the links in you database – all at once or approved one by one. I don’t remember the name, but it’s highly ranked.
becca puglisi says
Thank you! We’ll get that one fixed. And we’re monitoring all comments right now, so if you find something that doesn’t work, just comment on it anywhere and we’ll take care of it. Thanks again!
Karen Zoccoli says
Stopping in to say hello. Was shared this website and looking forward to seeing what it has to offer! The giveaway looks wonderful; best wishes on your new ‘home’!

I love, love your Emotional Thesaurus and it looks like I now need your new books. Sometimes I buy craft books but then never look inside. I always think I’m going to read them, but I never seem to have the time. That’s not true with the Emotional Thesaurus. I’ve used it several times and recommended it to the members of several of my writer groups. Keep up the good work, and I’ll keep buying your books.

Wow! The new site is beautiful and looks like it has even more content (a result of different organization/layout perhaps?). I am waiting anxiously for your new traits thesaurus’s – thesauri?

Love your book, The Emotion Thesaurus. My husband thinks I’m more than a little odd because I’ll sit and read your book all the time. Great resource I turn to constantly! Can’t wait to try these next two books, thank you for the opportunity to win, and congratulations on your upcoming release!

Hi Dotti,
I just ran a search, and you show up as a subscriber. Most people on TBM list were brought over here, but some didn’t do the authentication step, and so those did not come over. If you don’t see our blog posts in your mail vbox, let me know and I’ll add you again, asap!

Thanks, Angela! I don’t want to miss a single post!
