This eBook will help you gather useful data for your research-led writing project - and do it with fun and creativity! It includes five methods to help you and your research participants think beyond traditional ‘talk-and-text’ ways of sharing experiences. Each method is introduced with an overview, a how-to guide and links to further reading, viewing and resources where you can learn more and see the method in action.

Generating data for your research-led writing projects doesn’t have to be a chore - spoiler alert… you’re allowed to have fun doing it! Engaging research methods mean you’re more likely to get people to share their experiences with you, providing valuable material for your projects, and when it comes to using yourself as a source of data in memoir or autoethnography, using creative methods can unlock memories and create interesting associations that spark ideas.
