    I thought you would like to know that the downloadable pro pack is not available anymore because it says it is in the file owner’s trash. If you get it working again I would love to download it! I’m a writer trying to get back into the habit after a few years’ break, and I’m looking for ways to improve my writing in its reality and connection with the reader so these would be a golden resource for me! Thanks for putting it out there.

      Jada, apologies – I had linked an updated file but I think it didn’t save correctly. Would you mind trying now? Thank you!

    I have them all and use them frequently for reference. Wouldn’t want to go without them.

    Hi Becca and Angela,

    Your work is very interesting.
    Was wondering how great it will be for writers if you could turn this into an app.

    I hope you take this suggestion.

    Regards,
    Bivin

      Hi Bivin. Thanks so much for the kind words. I’m glad you’re finding the information here useful. We don’t have plans for an app currently because we have an entire website that utilizes our thesaurus content and so much of the information we share here at the blog. It’s called One Stop for Writers. This video gives you an overview of what you can find there. And there’s a free trial if you wanted to take some time to explore the site to see what it has to offer. Best of luck to you!

    I own most of these and use them constantly while writing. The new Emotional Thesaurus is great and has helped me become a better writer.

      I am so glad it has been a help! Emotional wounds are such a bit factor when it comes to character motivation and arc!

    This is so important to me, and looks helpful. Something I often get bogged down with.the telling rather than the showing. Thank you. Veronica

      So glad these examples will be helpful. Show-don’t-tell definitely comes with a learning curve but the more we practice it, the more natural it becomes 🙂

    Hello! Is there a way to buy all the books in hard copy? I am only seeing ebook sales. Thanks, Anne

      HI Anne,

      All of our books are in print and ebook with the exception of the Positive & Negative Trait book bundle (the single volumes of each –purple and green– are in print) and the one called Emotional Amplifiers as this is an ebooklet, not a full guide.

      You can find all of our books here: https://writershelpingwriters.net/bookstore/

      And each one will list distributors. If you click those links, the e-tailers (like Amazon) will all have print and ebook options. You can also order them through your local bookstore by giving then the ISBN number. (Visit any book at Amazon and the ASIN number is listed).

      Let me know if you need help finding these anywhere–happy to assist!

        Anne and Angela, Just a brief plug for the eBook versions. I advocate strongly for the books among my writer’s group members, and so I have a hard copy of the Emotion Thesaurus to show and tell. But for my own use I keep the eBooks, because I can put them on my laptop and always have them for reference right there where I am working. It can be so helpful at just the right moment. It’s just a quick jump to my Kindle app.

          Robin, I am so glad you are finding our writing guides helpful, and we so very much appreciate you sharing word of these guides with other writers – the more people we can help, the better.

          it’s always interesting to me to hear what version writers like best. We find that most tend to buy a print copy for home and a digital copy on the go, sometimes an ebook, sometimes a PDF. I’m just glad technology allows us to find different formats so whatever fits with a person’s process we have a route forward for that.

          Take care and happy writing!
          Angela

    Hi Betty,

    I’m able to open it? Maybe try refreshing the page or closing out the browser and returning to this page? If that doesn’t work, let me know.
