About Becca Puglisi
Becca Puglisi is an international speaker, writing coach, and author of bestselling books for writers--including her latest publication: a second edition of The Emotion Thesaurus, an updated and expanded version of the original volume. Her books are available in multiple languages, are sourced by US universities, and are used by novelists, screenwriters, editors, and psychologists around the world. She is passionate about learning and sharing her knowledge with others through her Writers Helping Writers blog and via One Stop For Writers--a powerhouse online library created to help writers elevate their storytelling.

During her free time (ha), Becca enjoys playing video games, watching movies, teaching Bible studies, baking, and adding to her stash of emergency supplies. She has always enjoyed contemplating the What if? scenario, which served her well during hurricane season in south Florida and will help her survive the winter now that she's moved to New York.
