It is an unusual author who can write a basic textbook on coding data and a gripping theatrical script with equal skill. Whether pedagogy for undergraduates, reflexive autoethnography, found poetry, or reader’s theatre, Johnny Saldaña has mastered it in his voluminous writings on qualitative research. Sit down for a while with this scholarly all-star and listen to him explain his writing strategies and secrets, with examples drawn from the best of forty years of his writings in qualitative research, education, and theatre.Mitchell Allen, University of California Berkeley, author of Essentials of Publishing Qualitative ResearchRenowned scholar Johnny Saldaña is simply one of the best writers in the field of qualitative research. I love his work. Saldaña writes the way students want to read and the way professors want to teach-- with clarity, humor, and robust examples. Saldaña’s unique skills from his background in theatre arts are on full display in this comprehensive, engaging, and well-written book. Writing Qualitatively is a terrific contribution to the literature and a must-have for researchers and students alike. Patricia Leavy, Ph.D. author of Research Design and Method Meets Art
