Praise for the Third Edition: "Writing up Qualitative Research has CHIME - compassion, humor, intelligence, mindfulness of humanity, and empirical evidence.

I am writing a dissertation and this was not very helpful. It basically said get started, get going, keep going a nd told me all the reasons that I did not need to justify using qualitative research. It was a waste of money unless you needed a pep talk. Was of no use from a technical standpoint.
Got me through my dissertation...:
I found this book more helpful than any dissertation-writing manual, and will rely on it for future projects beyond the PhD. Wolcott's honest and funny writing style makes you feel like a friend, and his advice is truly useful. The book is a great motivator as well, particularly during those frustrating stages of writing/revising. I highly recommend this book to anyone sitting on a mound of qualitative data who needs a bit of companionship along the way.
