Composing Qualitative Research: Crafting Theoretical Points from Qualitative Research

Providing both theoretical and practical guidance, this book will assist students and researchers who need to transform data organized around the metaphor of `story′ in order to illuminate the importance of crafting data into a framework that appeals to the intended audience.

Each chapter covers a different aspect of creating a story: disclosing, telling and revising for publication. Each chapter also focuses on the writing issues researchers face as they take a manuscript from invention to publication and offers useful strategies to address these issues.
