The Dialogue Thesaurus: A Fiction Writer's Sourcebook of Dialogue Tags and Phrases

It was very helpful with writing a book.

As an author, this book was a GAME CHANGER! Super helpful to improve my writing.

This is an excellent way to help make your dialogue More interesting to read. Very user-friendly.

Many books tend to give different rules for writing dialogue. You will find that some books will tell you to avoid dialogue tags because it is a method that was common during the Jazz age of writing. Modern writers tend to avoid dialogue tags. However, writing is a subjective art. No two writers will write dialogue in the same manner. I for one use dialogue tags and find that they work well for expressing the non-spoken aspect of communication. The Dialogue Thesaurus is the perfect tool for the writer who uses dialogue tags to explore every depth of his characters and to allow readers to look into the mind of the characters. Yes, every writer should own a copy of this book in their writer's library.And for the record, the Jazz age writers had it right when it came to dialogue. Modern writers are just pure lazy.

I like it because there is good helpful information and it is easy to use. It is organized such that I am able to use it in different ways. Sometimes I look for one thing and end up being inspired to go with something different. This was a good purchase.

Well organized and a necessity for every fiction writer's shelf.

Time for a another rewrite for me. What an amazing resource. I’m buying a hard copy for my desk at home.

Love this book. I use it all the time in my writing. Dahlia Evans gets me off the hook every time I need to find a word or phrase. Great investment.

Excellent book, helps with my writing

It is as described. Necessity for writers of dialogue

This is the type of book for every writer's shelf. She painstakingly writes out for any thought process, gives examples. Focuses on emotion types, or body parts from which dialogue can focus from. Amazing.

I was surprised at how good this book was. Lots of ideas in alphabetical order. Most dialogues are boring, even if they are central to the plot. Now our characters can be much more emotive in the way they express themselves.

I want to get past he said, and she said. Hopefully, this book will help me do it.
