: Re: How do I write a shriek? I'm trying to write a shriek, something like "AHHHHH!" or "AAAAH!". However, I don't really want to use all caps and repeated letters. Does anyone know any other techniques

When writing a Comic Book, you may want to produce the scream and try to assemble the letters as you hear them, and then apply font and size as you deem necessary, really there is no limit in this scenario.

On the other hand, when writing a Novel you would want to describe the effects of the scream and how it affects the characters. The reason for this is that you cannot see what the characters are doing or how they look when the action takes place. In a Novel, you want to let the reader decide a lot of things about the environment and what it sounds like to them, what should that shriek sound like to them to get your greater idea across about the situation.

These are huge differences, and to get a good answer I think you should define what you are writing.
