Why read it?
1 author picked The Writer's A-Z of Body Language as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I was so thrilled when I found this little gem. I had been desperately searching for a book like this!
Authors use body language to show emotion and to use as dialogue tags. But in typical nonfiction books on body language you have to weed through a lot of psychological explanation to find the gesture. Author Tim Ellis did the work for us. This book lists just the gestures and expressions for emotions from A to Z.
My copy is paperback; unfortunately, the author has since passed away, and only the Kindle version is available now.
From Cara's list on The best reference and writing books for romance authors.
