Becoming a Writing Researcher

Becoming a Writing Researcher effectively guides students through the stages of conducting qualitative writing research, from the initial step of seeing themselves as researchers, to identifying research questions, selecting appropriate tools, conducting the research, and interpreting and reporting the findings. Authors Ann M. Blakeslee and Cathy Fleischer describe various qualitative methods and provide readers with examples of real-world applications. Exercises and activities, as well as anecdotes from both novice and seasoned researchers, serve to acquaint readers thoroughly with the practice of carrying out research for scholarly or professional purposes. The textbook introduces students to research methods in a gradual and contextualized manner. Each chapter opens with a discussion of general issues regarding a particular portion of the research process, followed by a consideration of the various physical, conceptual, and strategic tools that allow a beginning researcher to conduct that part of the process. Sections within each chapter also cover: <ul>
<li>personal and theoretical perspectives and biases that influence specific stages of the research process</li> <li>ethical issues associated with phases of the research process</li> <li>the identity, ethos, and experiences of the researcher.</li>
</ul>
Becoming a Writing Researcher is an essential text for all novice researchers, and is well suited for use in graduate-level research methods courses in composition and technical communication. It is also ideal for use in other disciplines with strong qualitative methodology research programs, including education.

 Review 
"Becoming a Writing Researcher immerses less experienced researchers in two critically important aspects for learning: deep identity work and extensive practice with and reflection on research strategies. It is practical in all the best ways: grounded in the lived experience of graduate student researchers, full of purposeful exercises and reflective activities, carefully attuned to the needs of newer researchers in Writing Studies. My students are far better off for having used this thoughtful guide for their own projects." -- Heidi Estrom, Boise State University 
"An approachable but remarkably in-depth guide to qualitative research in writing. The case studies enable readers to imagine themselves becoming real researchers, and multiple examples illustrate a variety of approaches rather than just one 'right' way." -- Cheryl Geisler, Simon Fraser University, Canada
