Editorial Review:
Product Description:
You’ve finished your research and have reached the point of writing it up. You know your findings are important both for your colleagues and for a more general public. But how do you write this material to appeal to different audiences? In Writing Strategies, Laurel Richardson shows you how. Drawing on her own experiences, she carefully outlines strategies for writing up the same research in different ways. By showing the reader the stylistic and intellectual imperatives and conventions of different writing media, she prepares the writer for approaching and successfully addressing diverse audiences. From writing academic papers to trade books, from scientific writing to widely circulated work, your needs will be met using this volume as your personal guidebook. Writing Strategies will be useful to ethnographers, researchers and teachers of language and writing, and to all social scientists trying to present their material in different ways.
"There are lessons for every writer about rhetorical strategies and narrative choices. . . . She is effective in demonstrating the micro strategies of creating an authorial persona: showing how particular phrases and passages were deployed to convince the reader of the legitimacy of her text, both for the popular market and the academic one."
--Contemporary Sociology
"Excellent advice on getting started, keeping going and crafting your writing advice offered towards appropriate audiences, and much of the advice offered is as applicable to quantitative as qualitative work."
--Social Research Association News
Average Rating: 
Rating: -
For students struggling to understand what it means to do qualitative research, Laurel Richardson's book on Writing Strategies is an excellent resource. The book is very helpful in differentiating conventional forms of scientific writing from the more interpretive forms of writing that are typical of qualitative research. The book is very readable. Richardson makes complex ideas accessible.
Rating: -
Richardson's book initiated deep and reflective dialogue on the nature of qualitative writing, particularly from the voices of scientist, researcher, feminist, and representative of the academic world to the general public.
Her work is strongly recommended as required reading for every graduate student engaged in qualitative work, as well as experienced researchers and those entrenched within quantitative methodology.
