Writers Helping Writers

A writer’s goal is to create story magic, drawing readers into the fictional lives of characters so they experience another’s life journey as if it were their own. To bend the reader’s reality in such a way requires skilled handling of a specific storytelling element: Description.

Description touches everything. Our bestselling thesaurus guides teach writers how to use show-don’t-tell to reveal a character’s deepest layers and make readers feel more involved in the world, events, and undercurrents taking place in the story.

Often called the “gold standard” of writing guides, the Writers Helping Writers thesaurus collection is available in nine languages and has sold over 1 million copies. These books are used in universities and by editors, agents, writing coaches & authors all over the world.
