Alternatives to “Say”

I’ve had a few of these charts floating around in my bookmarks for a while, but none of them were organized in a way I would have liked, and all of them listed the words in past tense.

In an effort to maintain my sanity, I decided to compile them into one big list and categorize them according to the mood they set.

I’m offering this reference to my fellow writers who are looking for a different way to say “says” or “said.” You can download it in either .jpg form or a printable .pdf that you can print. Use it and share it freely, but please don’t offer it for sale.

Enjoy!
