This groundbreaking book brings creative writing to social research with its innovative format includes creatively written contributions by researchers from a range of disciplines, modelling the techniques outlined by the authors.

The book is user-friendly and shows readers: how to write creatively as a social researcher, how creative writing can help researchers to work with participants and generate data and how researchers can use creative writing to analyse data and communicate findings. Inviting beginners and more experienced researchers to explore new ways of writing, this book introduces readers to creatively written research in a variety of formats including plays and poems, videos and comics. It not only gives social researchers permission, but also shows them how, to write creatively.
