I'm a big fan of Angela Ackerman's and Becca Puglisi's series of thesauri for writers, delving into everything from writing emotions to conflict to positive and negative traits. Their collection of books has now sold over 1 million copies. To celebrate, they're hosting a special giveaway on their site for critiques, story audits, and more. Enter the giveaway, free, here.
