Craft Powerful Stories by Mastering Description

A writer’s goal is to create story magic, drawing readers into the fictional lives of characters so they experience another’s life journey as if it were their own. To bend the reader’s reality in such a way requires skilled handling of a specific storytelling element: Description.

Description touches everything. Our bestselling thesaurus guides teach writers how to use show-don’t-tell to reveal a character’s deepest layers and make readers feel more involved in the world, events, and undercurrents taking place in the story.

Often called the “gold standard” of writing guides, the Writers Helping Writers thesaurus collection is available in nine languages and has sold over 1 million copies. These books are used in universities and by editors, agents, writing coaches & authors all over the world. (More on what’s being said about our resources.)

Our books are available at all major online retailers, can be ordered by bookstores, or can be purchased directly from us. Note: This page includes affiliate links and, as an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

The Emotional Wound Thesaurus: A Writer’s Guide to Psychological Trauma

For characters to come across as authentic, they need a past, the same as you or me. And, like us, part of their history includes painful experiences known as emotional wounds which generate fears, insecurities, trust issues, and make it difficult for them to take risks when it matters most. This guide will lead you to specific types of trauma (and the dysfunctional behaviors tied to them) so you can choose what your character’s vulnerability is, what it will look like on the page, and develop a character arc where they overcome the past…or succumb to it.

    Will there be a way to pre-order the Conflict Thesaurus, Volume 2? I’m so excited for it to come out that I check back on this page constantly. I bought the first volume and the preview of the entries for the second made me so eager for Volume 2. Really looking forward to getting my hands on a copy! Thanks for all that you do!

      Hi, Jess. I’m so glad you’re pumped about this release! We did a pre-order for one of our books at one point, and one of our major distributors screwed things up. It was kind of a disaster, so we’ve sworn off preorders for now :). The book is set to publish on September 6th, but it usually goes up at various online bookstores a tad early, so the best way to get a copy as soon as possible is to just check the CT Volume 2 section of our Bookstore page in the days leading up to the 6th. When the Purchase Volume 1 button changes to Print and Ebook Options, it means the book is becoming available and you can start buying :).

    Mmm. I got the PDF version of the Conflict Thesaurus and while it seems gorgeous, there’s a problem: It lacks digital content (like in the side pane of the PDF-viewer). I think you might have generated the PDF without that and I’d be very happy if it was possible to get a copy of the PDF with the table of content.

    (I’m not at all sure how to go about this other than in this forum… it isn’t all that obvious how to communicate via gumroad or otherwise. I’ll keep an eye out for a reply…)

    I love your website! I Googled “thesaurus for Writers” and it brought me here. So I just purchased every one of your thesauri on Amazon. Then I read further and learned that I could have access to all of them through your One Stop for Writers membership. Is there still any benefit for me to sign up? I’m not writing fiction, but a memoir. All of your thesauri are very helpful for my memoir, by the way. You should not be limiting this to fiction writers.
    Also, is there a WHW Group where you can chat with other members to share ideas or ask questions about your writing?
    Thank you.

      Hi Kathleen! I’m so glad you found us, and thank you for test-driving our books! I hope they help you a ton. 🙂

      We do indeed have a subscription site, and the thesaurus component from the books you have are part of that site, but it’s much more than that. We have a free trial so I encourage you to activate it to look into the site, but the quick version is the THESAURUS database is much larger than our books, and there are many topics there that are not in book form. We also have a suite of tools that help with every aspect of storytelling – character building & arc, plot and structure, world building, etc. The site also has a Storyteller’s Roadmap that takes a subscriber through every step and stage from the first idea to a publish-ready book, so it’s like having a story coach help you as you go, offering advice, tools and resources to help you, and links to all sorts of articles and such to make the job easier. 🙂

      In fact, everything at One Stop is built to help a writer grow their skills as they use the site! 🙂 You can start your trial by signing up if you like: https://onestopforwriters.com

      And here’s a tip – if you are writing memoir, run yourself through the Character Builder as it may help you remember yourself at the age you cover in your memoir, and explore the past events you wish to cover. 🙂

      We have a Facebook page for WHW and OSFW, but no groups just yet – sorry. Becca and I are just spread too thin right now and have to focus on our sites and creating new resources. 😉

      Hi, Kaylin. Thanks so much for getting a copy of the 2nd edition of The Emotion Thesaurus. I’ve checked that file, and the bookmarks are in place. I’m able to click all of the external links to other books, as well as internal links in the TOC and in linked fields within entries. I should note that the links in the TOC aren’t blue like the other links, but they’re still clickable. Would you mind checking to see if you’re able to click any of the entries in the TOC? Also, scroll through to any entry and try to click the entries located in the May Escalate To field. If you’re unable to click any of those, please email me at jaddpublishing@gmail.com and let me know exactly what you’re seeing. I may be able to do some troubleshooting that way.

    Hi! I just bought all of your books on Kindle. Out of all the books I’ve read, I would say that The Emotion, Positive Trait and Negative Trait Thesaurus are my favorites! It helps me try to think of how to create likeable, flawed and relatable characters.

    I think The Emotion Thesaurus Second Edition can be helpful in reading body languages, due to how comprehensive your thesaurus was, especially when you describe internal sensations, and signs that the emotions are being suppressed. Those could give away nonverbal cues that reveal their true emotion.

      Hi Nicolas! We actually do not have a bundle price because for the entire set as we chose instead to make individual prices very affordable rather than price them the same as print (as we see so many publishing houses do). This way everyone across the board benefits!

      With print, bundling them would be very costly due to the weight and shipping as these are large books. Thanks for asking though, and happy writing! 🙂

I think some sort of glitch has occurred, and I deeply apologize for the inconvenience. As soon we we get this fixed we will be in touch. In the meantime, what would help us is to know the date you ordered (it should be on that cancelled invoice at amazon in your account). Also, to confirm, this was the print version?

      Hi, Melanie. We’re not sure yet if this thesaurus is going to make it to book form; since we’re still in the process of building it, we need to see the demand and whether or not it’s beefy enough to make a published craft book. There does seem to be a lot of interest in it, so it’s definitely a possibility! Are you signed up for our New Releases newsletter?

      We have another website (subscription) called One Stop for Writers https://onestopforwriters.com/ and we are building a Relationships Tool to explore and show the connectedness between characters in a novel, based on their role and a lot more. We expect to have that built late Fall. For reading material, we look at the types of friction that can be built between characters in the Negative Trait Thesaurus using clashing personalities if you have that book of ours. Here’s a blog post that also looks at this: https://www.thecreativepenn.com/2014/01/04/clashing-personalities/

      I hope this helps! 🙂

      Hi Robin,

      Because of the size and the weight of these books (they are much larger than paperbacks), it is unlikely we could put them all together in a package. If there was an easy way to do it and we thought enough people would want it to make it worth the effort we would, but so far we’ve not found a way to do it that makes sense.

    These are so great–I have two so far, I’d love to have all of them one day! Just a bit tight on my book budget right now. Is there a chance you’d ever consider some kind of “book bundle” deal on the Kindle or print book someday? 🙂 That said, I know a lot of hard work goes into these and good sales help keep things running. So if I have to wait and save up for them I certainly will. Thanks in any case for creating these wonderful writing resources!

      Hi Sunny,

      We may offer a book bundle at some point for some of these books, but we also have priced these very fairly to make them affordable for all (rather than choosing the “inflated pricing model” you see most traditional publishers run with). Because of this, any discount would be minor for a book bundle. As much as we wish it wasn’t so, Becca and I have to eat, lol, and so yes, we do charge a fair price for our work.

      Thanks for asking about it,

      Hi, Enisa. Yes, our latest book will eventually be available at Book Depository. Unfortunately, it takes 6-8 weeks for a new print book to make its way into the distribution channels that will enable Book Depository to access it. So it may be a while. I’m very sorry about this; I wish there was a quicker way. It just takes a while for each book to make it’s way to all the channels when they first go live.

      Beverly if you click on the ebook (Kindle) link, you will be taken to the kindle price of $5.99, and if you click on the print link, it takes you to the print price, which is $17.00 currently. Sorry these are on 2 different links–it always takes Amazon a bit of time to link the two so they show up on the same page.

      Hi Dorothy, unfortunately we do not. Creating a bundle for print books when you are a self-publisher is near impossible. We can control ebooks of course (hurray!), which is why we have priced our books at a very reasonable low price, rather than elevating it to the same price (or more!) of the print volume, a tactic that we typically see traditional publishers use. We don’t feel that is right, and we hope our readers agree. 🙂

The emotional thesaurus would be my pick of the books as it’s the thing I struggle most with and when I do I jump on the WHW website. I get carried away by all the info available. I go down a rabbit hole ending up looking at all of the other thesauruses. They connect through setting, emotions and characters so writers can create well developed characters and stories. Even if I don’t win a copy I’m still going to jump on the website whenever I need a bit of help. Great job girls!

On my Mac, I can highlight, add notes, and add symbols to a PDF copy of The Negative Trait Thesaurus, for example. I don’t know what options are available if you’re using a PC or viewing the PDF on a pad/phone/etc, but I do know that anyone has the ability to print the PDF and save it to your system. You could also do all of this with the kindle and nook digital versions. I hope this helps!

      Hi, Tamara! I’m so glad you’re interested in The Rural Thesaurus. Unfortunately, the Look Inside feature for the print books can take a few weeks to generate. It’s weird that it popped up almost immediately for Urban; I’ve talked to the powers that be and they say that the timing can be somewhat random and there’s nothing we can do about it speed up the process. However, the good news is that if you go to the Rural Thesaurus Kindle page, there’s a Look Inside feature there. The kindle and print copies are identical, with the exception of the digital version being linked. So that’s one way you can get a glimpse inside :).

    Allow me to say I love your books and I needed them
    more than I thought.

    I just purchased Emotion Amplifiers. I am curious where
    you obtained your amplifiers describing addiction. It
    appears to be from television and movies.
    Please forgive my frankness. However, I am a
    recovering women with the ‘disease’ of addiction.
    I am also a college graduate, raised four children,
    and a published writer who is finishing her
    first novel.
    I am no exception. Most of us with the disease
    are gifted in some way. We actually practice good
    hygiene. Our biggest issues are; financial, hiding
    it from loved ones and withdrawal. We need to get
    through the day like others.
    I am referring to the disease not just a dependency.
    Our livers metabolize chemicals much faster than
    in others. The disease actually changes our cell
    structure. It is far more complicated than most
    would ever think.
    Tremendous loads of guilt and shame are heaped
    upon our shoulders by us. We were born with this.
    Believe me no one would choose a life of addiction.
    It is a miserable existence. We are the ones that
    do not have blackouts we remember everything.
    When we finally comes to terms with the facts it is
    not a relief to know we must become a formidable
    warrior in order to fight this beast every day of
    our lives.
    Your use of things such as; poor hygiene, strong
    and strange odors floored me! I have found it to
    be true that most authors use the same adjectives
    concerning addiction. Sadly it is not their fault.
    Education about the disease is a joke.
    There are some like you describe. I suppose it is
    dependent on geography. Homeless people in
    general find it more than difficult to do the every
    day rituals most of us take for granted.
    We also have days of such physical and emotional
    weakness from literally being at war; with the
    disease and ourselves.
    And at some point we hit a bottom! It could start
    from losing a loved one. Whatever triggers the
    descent doesn’t matter. After that we become
    a bullet shot from a high powered rifle waiting to
    to hurt someone…ourselves.

    Thank you for all your help,
    Sheree

      Sheree, thank you very much for posting your own personal experiences with addiction. What we list is not one size fits all, but a simple range of indicators that could show an amplifier may be present. We are sorry you took it to mean that these descriptors apply to all people who struggle with addiction, and I can see how this would cause you stress. Our guide however, is to simply list a range of ideas, and encourage writers to chose the ones that fit their own fictional characters, nothing more.

      Best,

But first thing this morning, I combed through it while riding the bus into work. And as soon as I got into work, I started to spread the word about The Emotions Thesaurus with another coworker.

    Angela Ackerman & Becca Puglisi – THANK YOU!!!! 🙂 I just recently purchased all three (3) of your books:
    The Emotion Thesaurus
    The Positive Trait Thesaurus
    The Negative Trait Thesaurus
    I absolutely LOVED the sample that I read of them. I loved them so much that I not only purchased the paperback versions of the book, but also put a copy of each on my iPad. I’m new to the Script Writing game and while still learning wanted something that would help me with substance and insight into why people do what they do and at times say the things they say. Only by reading these books and with practice will I hone my skills in writing Screenplays with deep, rich characters. I’m also ordering these books for my 17yr old daughter that is also an aspiring writer.

      Jock, I’m so happy these books will be a help to you, and how awesome that you share this passion with your daughter. I would love to try a screenplay one day–it’s on my bucket list. there is a ton that we writers of fiction can learn from scriptwriters too. In fact. two books I recommend over and over for writers is Save The Cat and Writing Screenplays That Sell. Both are brilliant!

      Happy writing–let us know how it goes!

        Angela – Thank you for your kind response. YOU are an EXTREMELY TALENTED writer. It’s also your passion that bleeds through the writing of your book that inspires me. What you and “Becca” bring to the table of writing allows others I believe to learn from what you do and helps others be what they’ve dreamed of being.

        You made me laugh when you mentioned “Bucket List!” Writing, Directing and Producing my own films is a HUGE DREAM!! Your website couldn’t be named any better: “WritersHelpingWriters.net”

        Oh and my Daughter thinks it would be so cool for She & I to write something together. How awesome would that be? 🙂

          Hi, Jock! It’s been awhile since you commented here about The Emotion Thesaurus, but I wanted to tell you that we’ve released a second edition of The Emotion Thesaurus containing 55 additional entries and enhanced front matter. Because you enjoyed the first edition, I thought you might want to know about the second one :).

    I previously bought a kindle version of the emotional thesaurus. Problem is that I would love to print it out for reference. I’d also like to purchase both your new books and I probably will in PDF. Is there some kind of package where we can have both versions?

    • ANGELA ACKERMAN says

      January 11, 2014 at 12:50 pm

      Great question. Currently we don’t have book packages because the two trait books have just released, but it is something we plan down the road. (We are also watching to see how people respond to Amazon’s Match program, to see if that is something our readers would be receptive to.)

      We have tried to keep digital copy prices low in order to make them more affordable (and all three are available on print for those who want a desk copy.) I am happy to add you to our Newsletter mailing list if you like, so that you will be the first to know when ebook pairings are available in the future.

      Have a great weekend!

    I purchased (and loved) my Nook version of The Emotions Thesaraus – until my Nook died. sniff, sniff. Had no idea you had other books available until I browsed for a kindle version. Is there any discount for purchasing a set of your various titles?
