Any screenwriter or novelist knows the difficulty of describing human emotion. Angela Ackerman and Becca Puglisi, seasoned authors with extensive experience, have faced this challenge themselves and decided to help writers: in their book, they explored and systematized 130 different emotions and offered a unique guide to constructing contradictory, believable, and compelling characters. In addition to the dictionary, they have prepared a compact educational resource that offers a recipe for literary depiction of emotions based on the principle of "don't name it—show it." Furthermore, the "Emotion Thesaurus" examines the important role of subtext, dialogue, and backstory, helps relate different emotions to one another, and provides food for thought and inspiration for creative brainstorming.
