Body Language Cheat Sheet for Writers
Stop writing "she felt angry" and start showing it.
This free Body Language Cheat Sheet gives you instant, showable detail for 10 core emotions — anger, fear, joy, sadness, nervousness, attraction, confidence, disgust, embarrassment, and surprise. Each one is broken into face, body, and voice cues you can drop straight into your manuscript, plus a quick-reference icon grid so you can find what you need mid-scene without breaking your flow.
Perfect for novelists, screenwriters, fanfic writers, and anyone working on character development, dialogue tags, or self-editing a first draft. No more repetitive "he felt sad" or flat emotional beats — just concrete, sensory detail that shows readers what's happening instead of telling them.
What's inside:
- 10 emotions fully broken down (face / body / voice)
- A one-line "hook" for each emotion to spark the scene
- 5 quick rules for using body language cues without overdoing it
- Clean, printable PDF — use digitally or print for your writing desk
