Discover how fiction can breathe life into your research.

Fiction - in the form of everyday storytelling, prose, plays, films, folktales, and comics - can be powerful and resonant. This engaging book introduces the ways in which fiction can inform, inspire and enliven all kinds of research.

Presenting a range of case studies and examples from diverse disciplines, this book explores how and why researchers have employed fiction and fictional techniques throughout the research process, including using fiction to communicate research findings. An essential primer to thinking creatively with fiction , the book:

- discusses a range of theoretical perspectives on the use of fiction in research;

- explores challenges and ethical questions for researchers using fiction;

- offers practical advice, creative prompts and resources.

Enabling the reader to reflect on how fiction might be used in their own research, this comprehensive introduction will help students and experienced researchers embark on their own research-based fiction projects in no time.

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This is a gem of a book! Engagingly written with fascinating examples, it is inspirational in its approach to the exciting interface of fiction and research, yet also practical in its focus on critical thinking, reflective questions and creative exercises. An essential part of any creative researcher's toolkit." Jennifer Mason, University of Manchester "A compelling, detailed and comprehensive guide for anyone interested in the relationship between research and fiction. Entwining literary and academic examples and references, it is accessible, warm and thought-provoking!" Candice Satchwell, University of Central Lancashire "This is a wonderful work that I wish existed long before I embarked on a path combining roles as researcher and fiction-writer. Tipper and Gilman do a marvellous job looking at the generative intersection of fiction and research and discussing the potentials, pitfalls, hopes, and possible failures at each turn. I felt so inspired reading this that I had to put the book down to jot down all the ideas that kept popping into my head." Sherine Hamdy, University of California, Irvine
