Released on February 19, 2019.
The bestselling Emotion Thesaurus, often hailed as “the gold standard for writers” and credited with transforming how writers craft emotion, has now been expanded as a Second Edition that includes 55 new entries!
One of the biggest struggles for writers is how to convey emotion to readers in a unique and compelling way. When showing our characters’ feelings, we often use the first idea that comes to mind, and they end up smiling, nodding, and frowning too much. If you need inspiration for creating characters’ emotional responses that are personalized and evocative, this ultimate show-don’t-tell guide for emotion can help. It includes:
- Body language cues, thoughts, and visceral responses for 130 emotions that cover a range of intensity from mild to severe, providing innumerable options for individualizing a character’s reactions
- A breakdown of the biggest emotion-related writing problems and how to overcome them
- Advice on what should be done before drafting to make sure your characters’ emotions will be realistic and consistent
- Instruction for how to show hidden feelings and emotional subtext through dialogue and nonverbal cues
- And much more!

Thanks for letting us know what resources would help most with your writing. Angela and I are always looking for resources that writers would find useful. We’ll add this to our list of possibilities to discuss.
I have purchased all your Kindle Books. I also read articles tools from your website. I am your big fan.
This is regarding a query about First Edition of Emotional Thesaurus both Textbook hard copy as well as Amazon Kindle which I purchased long back. And it’s a bible for me as an actor – writer.
I know I will have to buy the book for second edition and pay for it.
But why are you not allowing us to update Kindle Second Edition Free or with little charge? We already have the First Edition.
Do we have to buy again fresh for Second Edition?
Kurush Deboo Actor India.
Hi, Kurush. Thanks for the kind words about our books. I’m glad they’re helping you with your writing goals.
Regarding the 2nd Edition of the Emotion Thesaurus, had we made minor changes or added just a bit to the content, we would likely have simply updated the file itself. This is common practice for minor changes and would have resulted in a reprinting of the book (and an update to the digital files).
But the changes to the 2nd edition are quite robust, with double the number of emotion entries as well as double the amount of instructive front matter. Because it’s twice the size as the first book, the changes go far beyond a simple file update. According to ISBN regulations, anything beyond a reprint containing minor changes is a new work and requires a new ISBN——a new book, in essence. This is why we needed to release a whole new book for the 2nd Edition.

This book is an essential resource in my practice as I write almost exclusively fiction (apart from the odd blog).

Angela,
I’m glad to hear about this new edition. One question: What resources do you and Becca use to find entries for your books? I imagine it can get a little tough once the obvious ones have been written up.
In regards to the Emotion one, it really is about us looking for primary entries we overlooked the first time (like Grief – whoops!) and for the rest it was about thinking of more complex emotions that are powerful but maybe not something you experience every day. Take Vindicated, for example. Being in a situation where you were wrongfully accused of something, not believed, or everyone around you suspected something that turned out to be false…can any of us deny the rush of righteousness you feel when you’ve been proven innocent or right all along? It’s an emotion we all know, have felt, but not an “every day” one. The feeling of utter Powerlessness might be another. Or Schadenfreude, the gleeful, ugly joy you feel at another person’s downfall. All great emotions to explore. 🙂

I’m a little upset that I can’t pre-order the PDF file because I’d absolutely LOVE to get the Pre-Order bonus, too. I’m saying this because I’ve legit purchased all of you two’s Thesauri (or Thesauruses, take your pick) via PDF. 🙁 Ah well. I can deal with not having the Pre-Order bonus. Won’t stop me from getting this either way, so… yeah!!
I know–trust me, if we had infrastructure in place to do this easily, we would. Many people use the PDF version and I hate not having a preorder available. But if you like you can always add your name to our notifications list, and I will send out an email reminder when the release day hits, just in case you are worried you’ll forget. 🙂 That link is here: https://twitter.us20.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=cc1cb11597b48d3f26dd7e1c3&id=f6515a7617

This is a great resource. Have you considered an entry for Sarcasm? People use this all the time in real-life, but how to show it in writing without adding “s/he said sarcastically” Any suggestions right now?
We did have a list for this long ago. I found it in the wayback machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20140408060220/https://writershelpingwriters.net/2008/12/emotion-thesaurus-addendum-sarcasmverbal-disrespect/
(this entry never made it in the Emotion Thesaurus because sarcasm isn’t an emotion, it’s a way to express an emotion (frustration, usually!) Hope this helps!
I understand sarcasm to be an attitude rather than an emotion that evokes an emotional response [overt or not].

[…] fine-tune my character’s actions and reactions. I refer to experts for this like PscheWriter and The Emotion Thesaurus: A Writer’s Guide to Character Expression by Angela Ackerman & Becca […]
The sample of this is actually quite helpful for a probably totally unintentional reason. I am a recently diagnosed autistic adult and have struggled all my life with being able to “appropriately” communicate with others. Especially the bit on “melodrama” where you talk about extreme outward expressions of emotion being disbelieved because “in real life, emotion isn’t always so demonstrative.” I wonder if this is why I am always disbelieved when I express my emotions – because they always tend to the extreme. It’s extremely hurtful to have people dismiss your experiences just because you express them too loudly so it must be fake. I learned the hard way that I had to repress all emotion as much as possible because otherwise I would be criticised and disbelieved.
So reading something like this (whilst trying to learn more about how to describe my emotions so that others don’t dismiss me) has been a bit of an eye opener into how neurotypical people/society sees emotions/behaviours. I also saw another post elsewhere which listed body language for different emotions and that has really helped too since it explains why not making eye contact is seen as such a bad thing – it shows up as a “symptom” of boredom, deception, embarrassment, dishonesty (it mentions honesty as involving maintaining eye contact), secretiveness, shame, and shyness. When in reality it just feels like the most personal thing (other than sex) you can do with someone – it’s this intense feeling that with the right person can be an amazing send shivers down your spine kind of thing, even erotic. Which honestly is NOT something that is going to feel comfortable with just anyone and especially not the kinds of people who tend to demand it – parents, teachers and so on. Being forced to maintain eye contact feels like being forced to engage in something sexual you are not comfortable with and you are just expected to accept it as a normal part of being part of society. As a child it just felt wrong and too intense.
So maybe a tip to neurotypical writers wanting to write an autistic character – expect that they express emotions differently and what might seem melodramatic for an allistic person might actually be normal for the autistic person. Often our difficulties with expressing emotions is that we do so so intensely that they are disbelieved or ignored and create confusion within ourselves. Emotions can be very overwhelming for the autistic person and they may try to shut them down because they are too loud to process properly. Some of us struggle to identify what emotions we are feeling because they don’t always make it past the physical sensation stage. A racing heartbeat can be anything from anxiety to excitement to arousal to anger and without the ability to put the feelings into words properly, it can be difficult to tell exactly what we might be feeling. Often our body language doesn’t match our inside emotions. In that list elsewhere, gesturing with your hands/flapping them/hand waving can be signs of exasperation and even contempt! But a lot of autistic people flap and wave their hands because they are very happy and excited. Basically lots of “negative” emotion body language is common autistic body language which doesn’t mean the same thing. No wonder there is so much confusion!
Also wanted to add that the first description about the break up scene in the car seemed far more realistic than the second drawn out version. For me at least, I will experience the extreme emotion immediately like the break up –> don’t care if live or die. It’s like my brain just dumps me right in the deep end. Only later on with lots and lots of rumination on what I was feeling am I able to break it down into slower more logical steps. My brain will then furnish me with explanations. So to me it would happen more like the first example, then would cut to a scene later lying in bed going through everything and the second bit almost being an imagined conversation. In the moment I won’t know *why* I am feeling __insert strong emotion here__ about something, just that I am. My Mum upset me the other day on the phone and I was in tears (on and off as I relived it) for the rest of the day and going over why I felt so upset to make sense of it all. Allistic people might not have ended up experiencing it so “melodramatically” but for me that’s the only way I can experience emotions. The other option is total suppression which has had a terrible effect on my mental health. The reason I experience emotions like this isn’t psychological, it’s neurological but it’s still a valid way of experiencing it.
And the bit about the Valedictorian (not sure what that is but the person is obviously happy about it) again sounds like an autistic example. That thought based monologue? PERFECT way of describing the reaction and I really feel for the character. Though it is “nice” to realise that how you experience things comes across as odd. (Insert sarcastic voice). Why would you say some of that stuff out loud? It doesn’t make sense! The excited hug speaks volumes and it makes far more sense to keep the “take that” bit inside as it’s rude to say that sort of thing out loud. You keep that kind of thing to yourself. The most I might be able to verbally express in that situation would be an excited squeal! Too much feels to put into words!
So yeah, if you want to write autistic characters please break the rules and do what this is telling you not to do. It’s far more realistic to how at least this one autistic person experiences things.
Anyone writing an autistic character would need to research it first to write it authentically (provided they don’t have first hand experience.)
Absolutely valid! And again, provided the author shows the “why” it will be accepted by the reader even if it is not the same as their own personal experiences when it comes to responding to an emotionally charged situation.
Yes, there are many ways that a character on the autistic spectrum, or with a condition like Alexithymia, emotional agnosia, or some types of mental illness, would have to portray a character differently. There are also cultural differences to consider; eye contact is a sign of interest, engagement, respect, etc. but in other cultures it may be viewed as challenging, rude, and antagonistic.
In any story (provided we clearly show any personality or cognitive factors that cause a certain type of emotional responses) we can make the character’s responses come across as genuine, even if they are atypical. A great example of this is the book, The Rosie Project.
Thanks for weighing in!

Hi, Leslie! I’m replying to a wayyyy back comment of yours regarding the Emotion Thesaurus :). 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.

Through an easy-to-use list format, this brainstorming tool explores seventy-five emotions and provides a large selection of body language, internal sensations, actions and thoughts associated with each. – See more.

The Emotional Thesaurus is a great work. But it could use some more links between emotions, back links to places already linked, etc.
For example:
MAY ESCALATE TO: LOVE, DESIRE, FRUSTRATION, HURT
CUES OF SUPPRESSED ADORATION:
But Love, Desire etc do not back link to Adoration. And Adoration does not side link to its opposite, nor to Envy. There are many links missing. It would be better with a better link pack.
And I could, in the future, note emotions that are not lisMAY ESCALATE TO: LOVE, DESIRE, FRUSTRATION, HURT
CUES OF SUPPRESSED ADORATION:ted.
Maybe I and others could help?
HI Godel,
Down the road, Becca and I will be releasing a second addition of the Emotion Thesaurus, adding to the content, increasing the emotions and working to make sure it’s as well linked as possible. We will definitely put this on our list to look over as we do that, as we could better link emotions in some cases. Not all emotions work back and forth however…some only escalate one way. I’m not sure I could argue that Love escalates to Adoration, as it suggests that Adoration is somehow deeper than love itself. Does that make sense?
Dear Angela
Please advise if you have an Afrikaans version of this great tool? If yes, please advise where I can find it.

Hi Angela,
Book looks interesting. 75 emotions! I thought I had only 4. 😉 Will check it out on Amazon.
PS – I noticed the word “not” seems to be missing from this sentence: “Need help creating fresh body language that does come off as stale or cliché?” Sorry, couldn’t figure out how to reach you with a private message.
Pam thanks! How embarrassing–so glad you caught that. It’s funny, you look at something so much, you cease to “see” it…this is why proofreaders and critique partners are worth their weight in gold!

I have not purchased your book, but I fully intend to do so. I’m a new writer and I have been looking for good tools and resources.
Thanks so much, Shirley–I hope it helps! Amazon has the search inside feature that helps show what this book is like, because it’s not a typical writing book. have a peek if you like!
