Helping writers become bestselling authors

The Emotion Thesaurus EXPANDED Edition is .99 Cents (Limited Time Amazon Deal)

December 28, 2020 by BECCA PUGLISI

No, your eyes are not deceiving you…from December 28th to the 31st, Amazon.com has chosen the Emotion Thesaurus Expanded 2nd edition as their BIG DEAL and you can grab the kindle version for less than a buck. (Affiliate links)

It’s insane. It’s also a deal you may never see again.

So if you, a writing friend, critique group, writing organization, or workshop coordinator needs help with showing emotion, please take advantage of this great price!

Some of you may have the original and wonder if you need the 2nd edition. Here’s what’s new:

  • Each entry is bigger, containing more ideas on how to show emotions to readers, a list of how emotions escalate and deescalate, and a selection of power verbs for every emotion
  • 55 NEW Emotions have been added. Browse the Table of Contents or view these open entries: Euphoria, Vindicated, and Schadenfreude
  • The teaching content has doubled. The book delves deeper into emotion with new section on how to show hidden emotions, the power of subtext, and more.

Overall, this book is almost double in size. We’ve reduced the font to industry standard, meaning there’s more room on each page, so we’ve been able to expand on each entry. Talk about a win-win!

To really get an idea of what’s new and to see the entries for yourself, view Amazon’s generous “Look Inside” feature or read some of the 1100+ reviews, like these:

“Excellent reference- from beginning to end!”
~ Peggy, HALL OF FAME TOP 50 REVIEWER

“Still the Best Writing Resource and the Second Edition Is Worth It”
~ Jami Gold

“Even better than the original and that’s saying a lot. A must for all writers”
~ Sis Steele

Showing fresh emotion on the page is something many writers struggle with. This guide can help. We hope you or someone you know is able to take advantage of these savings. Amazon’s BIG DEAL ends December 31st, 2020.

    Love your books. I have all of them except this new version. So sad I missed out on the Amazon deal. Maybe next time.

      I am so glad you’re finding the books to be a big help. And yes, keep your eye peeled–Amazon does put these books on sale from time to time. 🙂

    Unfortunately, not on amazon.co.uk?😢

      No, this is an Amazon Big Deal prommotion, and they have chosen .com, .ca and .in only. Sorry.

    I really appreciate the Emotion Thesaurus that I bought from you several years ago. I am certain that your updated version will be at least as useful and helpful.
    Thank you

      I hope you find it even more helpful, Susanne!

    Love this book. Just looked and sadly, the expanded edition is not discounted in the UK.

    • ANGELA ACKERMAN says

      December 30, 2020 at 11:54 am

      Yes, sorry about that. This is a promotion on Amazon’s end, so they decide which stores. They chose .com,.ca, and .it

    $0.99 in Canada too!

      Yes, I see that…I am as surprised as you!

    Yes. You need this book. It helped me immensely in my last manuscript. The emotions helped me recall my own physical sensations and mental states when in the throws of emotion like “betrayal”. The authors did the hard work of giving you the visceral experience. My development editor loved how it helped my writing so much, she recommended it to all her clients.

      I am so glad this book has been a big help, and it’s helping to remind you of your own physical and mental responses when you experienced the same emotion. Sometimes this can be a bit painful, so take care, but it is also great for helping us add details to the story that are really authentic.

    So excited to start using this book! Thanks for the heads-up. I shared this on my blog.

      Thank you, Carolyn!
