Research

June 9, 2008 by Lillie 

Writers often have to conduct research for their writing projects, and all of us have to find information we need on a regular basis. A question from a client reminded me of an ebook I wrote several years ago, Finding the Information You Need — Research Tips for Your Family, Business, or Personal Pursuits.

Research doesn’t have to mean looking through microscopes in laboratories for science projects or reading musty history tomes for term papers. Learn how to find the information you need—whether it’s knowledge critical for your family’s health, intelligence important for the success of your business, facts useful in making buying decisions, or simply lore you want to know. Discover how to evaluate the reliability of the data you gather as well.

In addition to research tips, the article includes a number of resources to make it easier for you to find the information you need.

    This is a good point. As a ghostwriter and book writing coach, so much of my “research” is done through interviews and internet exploration. And I’m always glad to have new information resources. Thanks.

    Lou,
    I hope you find the resources in the article helpful.

  5. This is interesting. I often outsource writing projects and the speed at which the articles are finished, and research that has obviously gone into them, often has me wondering how it’s possible without having certain places the ghostwriters go for information. Thanks.

    Jayden,
    I think most writers have favorite sources for research, and the article covers a lot of them.

    I agree with you really should do more research on those papers. But if you find it too hard and you dont have the time, once in a while you could ask for additional outside help .
    It would be best if you try out this strategy. Let me know what you think

    Although I am allowing your comment, I have removed the link because buying/selling student papers does not fit into my value system. You can read more about my thoughts on this in the comments on my post on ghostwriting. I have no objection to students getting help from mentors or professional editors to improve their work, but I strongly believe that the students should do their own research and write their own papers. How can the student learn if someone else does the work for them?
