O knihe
What we intend to do in this book is to explain, and exemplify, in a nuts-and-bolts way, what
we are calling Scholarly Personal Narrative (SPN) writing. This is a genre created over 15 years
ago by Robert, one of the co-authors of this book. The other co-author, DeMethra, has actually
written a thesis and dissertation using this genre, so she brings an author's direct SPN
experience to the table. Both of us co-teach a course that we call "Scholarly Personal Narrative
Writing for Pre-Professionals and Professionals." In the chapters that follow, we will present a
step-by-step approach for composing an SPN manuscript.
The book will be comprised of four general parts, consisting of several short, practical
chapters, written in non-technical language. We will write each of the chapters as a way of
responding to the most common questions that our students have raised about SPN writing
through the years. We will attempt to write as we teach, with no frills and with clarity, empathy, and understanding. We will also
provide several SPN writing examples, as well as authorial toolbox tips, throughout the book. In addition, we will conclude with a
bibliography of the most relevant personal narrative writing guides we have been able to muster. Our desire is to minimize the number
of in-text citations and references in order to maximize the space for us to present a useful, nuts-and-bolts guide to writing, as well as a
realistic, down-to-earth rationale for scholarly personal narrative writing in the academy. After reading the book, and practicing the
writing exercises, undergraduate and graduate students will be able to author research papers, theses, and dissertations using the
Scholarly Personal Narrative research genre. Hundreds of students have done this already throughout the country.
