Writing and Publishing Qualitative Research (Hardcover)

Ideal for graduate students and more seasoned qualitative researchers, this is the first guide to writing and publishing in a range of both scholarly and popular formats--from journal articles and monographs to op-eds and fictional works.

Award-winning author Patricia Leavy covers everything from how to develop a unique writer's voice to how to craft a successful book proposal, understand a publishing contract, establish relationships with editors, and much more.

The book is filled with effective tools for using data and theory in different genres of writing, building a profile as a scholar, and getting research findings out into the world. Instructive features throughout include “dos and don’ts," writing prompts, annotated sample letters and proposals, excerpts from published works, and end-of-chapter writing activities.
