When writing fictional characters, it’s hugely important to convey their emotions effectively so readers will be drawn in and become invested in those characters. The Emotion Thesaurus: A Writer’s Guide to Character Expression was written to help writers convey the quality and depth of their characters’ feelings through their thoughts, body language, and visceral reactions. But there are also ways to amplify what a character is feeling, thereby heightening his emotional responses.
In this short companion guide to the bestselling The Emotion Thesaurus, we explore 15 common states that naturally galvanize emotion. States like exhaustion, boredom, illness, pain, and extreme hunger can push characters to the limit, compromising their decision-making abilities and decreasing the likelihood of them reaching their goals. Emotion Amplifiers is a great tool for any writer wishing to tighten the screws on their characters and amp up the volatility and vulnerability in their stories.

Hi I am from India and want to know how to order your books. Are they available from Amazon. Thanks
Hi Lionel,
yes all our books can be purchased as a ebook, PDF, or print book. If you go here, you’ll find all the links to where they can be bought: https://writershelpingwriters.net/bookstore/
Have a great day!
Great assist, but I am surprised you didn’t include “fear/fright”. Will you be revising this edition in future to include those?
TY
HI Lacy,
Fear is an emotion, so that one is covered in the Emotion Thesaurus. This book is strictly amplifiers (states and conditions that “amplify” emotional reactions. 🙂 You can find that one here: https://writershelpingwriters.net/bookstore/ Happy writing!
This is going to sound like a silly question but I am not tech savvy in the least. I do not have a kindle, so is it possible to just download it to my desktop? I have all Emotional, Positive Trait and Negative Trait Thesaurus and this will round out my Characters.
Stacy, not a silly question at all! Any ebook you can read on a computer no problem. You just need to download a ereader app. Here’s the one for Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/gp/digital/fiona/kcp-landing-page
Or if you like, here is the PDF version: https://writershelpingwriters.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Emotion-Amplifiers-PDF.pdf
Hope this helps!
I love, love, love the Emotion Thesaurus. I have it bookmarked on my Kindle Cloud Reader, and keep it as an open tab while I am writing so I can be there with one click. Which I do quite often.
Thank you for this amazing resource.
Hurray! Glad to hear it, Joe! Happy writing!
You have been an incredible inspiration, thank you for all your advice.
Thank you, Nickey! We are happy to help however we can 🙂
I have the nook version of Emotional Thesaurus and use it all the time!
So glad you’re giving it a workout, Keila! (love your name!)
Exciting!! Congratulations.
Thanks Anita!
