300 Different Ways to Say the Word Said


When you’re writing anything, from the next great novel to an editorial, the quickest way to bore a reader is to repeat descriptive words. Said is one of the most overused words when a writer quotes people or characters in a story.

Keep your readers (or listeners) engaged by imaginatively conveying tone and feeling in your quotes. With the list of over 300 words to use instead of the word “said”, you’ll assure (a form of say to) your followers that you know how to tell a tale.
