What’s better than being able to say a new book is coming soon? Sharing that it has close ties to The Emotion Thesaurus, of course!
Emotion is HUGE in storytelling, so we’re circling back to bring you The Emotion Amplifier Thesaurus: A Writer’s Guide to Character Stress and Volatility.
If the topic of emotion amplifiers sounds familiar, it may be. Many years ago we created an ebooklet under this name as a companion to The Emotion Thesaurus. It covered 15 states often mistaken for emotions (boredom, stress, hunger, etc.) because they strain a character, making it easier for them to lose control of their emotions.
Did your heartbeat just pick up a little? Because when someone loses control, bad things happen. They lash out, say the one thing they shouldn’t, burn bridges. They act rashly, make mistakes, and create a mess of problems for themselves. Ah, music to a writer’s ears!
But emotion amplifiers do a lot more than destabilize emotions, and there are more than just fifteen, so we knew at some point we would circle back and create a proper guide for you. We can’t wait for you to see it!
We Need Your Help!
Launching a book is a big task and one we need help with. We’re putting together our Street Team and would love for you to share this ride with us!
A Street Team can lend a hand in a variety of ways. They might…
- Help us build excitement for the book before the release
- Share book graphics, blog posts, and other things we create around the book so writers know this resource is coming
- Read The Emotion Amplifier Thesaurus and provide an honest review (we have 50 arcs to distribute)
- Lend us their blog for a day at launch and put up a post written by us
- Use their social platforms to help us find writers who will find the book helpful
- Point their writing audience to our launch event so they can enter the giveaway
- Be in our corner and provide help in whatever way they can!
The Advantages…
If you enjoy being an insider, you’ll get the first look at the cover and have a front row seat to our launch strategy, which can be helpful to you as you release your own book. You’ll see how to communicate with a street team so you can build your own, too. We also give out 50 digital arcs, so you may be one of the first to read and use this guide!
Being part of the Street Team doesn’t mean a mountain of work, either. We try to make it as easy to help as possible. We also respect your inbox. When you sign up, you can let us know what you are interested in helping with, and we’ll make sure you don’t see emails about other things.
Our release date is May 13th. If you think you can spare a bit of time (and your platform) to help, sign up here.
Thank you!
