5.0 out of 5 stars Writing from the heart
This book applies to far more types of scholarly writing than "qualitative research." The authors make valuable suggestions for how to frame your journal article so that it appeals to the community of scholars in your field, regardless of your methodology. At the heart of their guidelines lies an ancient truth: attract an audience by setting up a problem, a complication,...

2.0 out of 5 stars Purchase the 2nd Edition!
I didn't realize I purchased the first edition for my qualititative methods course until the in-class discussion of the first reading assignment. It was clear the 1st edition was lacking. I had to go and buy the 2nd edition because there was so much excellent material added in the 2nd edition and I couldn't get by without it. I would DEFINITELY recommend the 2nd edition.

This review is from: Composing Qualitative Research: Crafting Theoretical Points from Qualitative Research (Paperback)
This book applies to far more types of scholarly writing than "qualitative research." The authors make valuable suggestions for how to frame your journal article so that it appeals to the community of scholars in your field, regardless of your methodology. At the heart of their guidelines lies an ancient truth: attract an audience by setting up a problem, a complication, and then showing them how it can be resolved. I recommend this book to any graduate student or assistant professor in the social sciences who is just beginning an academic career. Following the authors' advice will save you months of wasted time and effort!
