Finding your academic voice to tell a strong story about your research is a difficult hurdle for many qualitative writers. Qualitative Research Writing: Credible and Trustworthy Writing from Beginning to End takes you through the writing process, starting with how you think about your research and building towards presenting credible and trustworthy work. Authors Michelle Salmona, Dan Kaczynski, and Eli Lieber offer practical guidance based on over two decades working with faculty and doctoral students. By integrating digital tools and qualitative research steps into the writing process, readers will seamlessly move from the research process to writing. This brief text will help writers make sound arguments and develop their authorial voices to build connections between themselves and their intended audience.
