Product Description
Review
"Throughout, the guidance remains very practical, keeping clearly in sight the goal of actually getting the writing task done. The style is friendly, chatty and humorous, resulting in a guidebook that is accessible and a pleasure to read. I would highly recommend this book to anyone whose work involves writing up qualitative research, not only if you encounter particular struggles, but also if you just appreciate some words of reassurance or encouragement from time to time." -- Annie Irvine 20100222 "Wolcott's advice is highly individual, and much of it involves strategies for finding the techniques for writing and editing that best fit you as a writer. Wolcott explains his points in a friendly and accessible manner, which makes the book feel like a lively conversation with a colleague rather than an academic treatise on writing. Writing Up Qualitative Research is a valuable resource for academic writers at any stage of their careers. Graduate students will find the discussion of breaking out of the prescribed formulas of the dissertation genre very helpful. New academics will enjoy the advice for keeping writing relevant to the audience, as well as the chapters on negotiating the publication process. Even seasoned academic writers will not go away from Wolcott's book empty-handed, because it contains advice for guiding new writers and graduate students. Writing Up Qualitative Research is an enjoyable, refreshing, and useful monograph, and I know I will be using it for advice and inspiration for years to come." -- Nicole St. Germaine-McDaniel 20100929 "Throughout, the guidance remains very practical, keeping clearly in sight the goal of actually getting the writing task done...I would highly recommend this book to anyone whose work involves writing up qualitative research, not only if you encounter particular struggles, but also if you just appreciate some words of encouragement from time to time." -- Annie Irvine SRA 20100201

Got me through my dissertation..., Jan 21 2007
By Tricia M. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: WRITING UP QUALITATIVE RESEARCH (Paperback)
I found this book more helpful than any dissertation-writing manual, and will rely on it for future projects beyond the PhD. Wolcott's honest and funny writing style makes you feel like a friend, and his advice is truly useful. The book is a great motivator as well, particularly during those frustrating stages of writing/revising. I highly recommend this book to anyone sitting on a mound of qualitative data who needs a bit of companionship along the way.

Writing Up Qualitative Research, Sep 13 2005
By B. Weidenborner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: WRITING UP QUALITATIVE RESEARCH (Paperback)
This book has been very helpful in determining where to start and steps to make for completing a qualitative research project. It offers suggestions of "how to" and provides application tips that make a sometimes seemingly overwhelming project manageable.

Get something else, Aug 31 2009
By Daniel R. Coleman "Daniel Reed" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Writing Up Qualitative Research: Third Edition (Paperback)
I am writing a dissertation and this was not very helpful. It basically said get started, get going, keep going a nd told me all the reasons that I did not need to justify using qualitative research. It was a waste of money unless you needed a pep talk. Was of no use from a technical standpoint.
