Writing with Research with Kristen B. Neuschel (2025)
Writing with Research is for knowledge workers, fiction writers, business people who write, academics (humanists, social scientists, scientists), undergraduates, and graduate students—in short everyone out there who is pursuing a writing project using research, from academic writing to business writing to memoir to historical fiction and more.
Writing with Research is built on a simple, yet encouraging insight: if you feel strongly that you’ve got something to say or know there’s a problem you feel compelled to investigate, then you are ready to start writing. Its unique contribution is to insist that writing and research proceed together, whatever the nature of the evidence or the scope of the project.
Writing with Research guides writers in the steps necessary for responsible research in today’s digital environment and shares tips for meeting the challenges of sustaining writing as a satisfying practice.
Reviews
“No matter where you are in your nonfiction journey, you will think and work differently after reading this book. It captures the gestalt of our enterprise with empathy, insight, and a raft of sound advice.”

“Equally inspiring for students and professors, Writing with Research covers every aspect of research‑based writing. Neuschel and Rasmussen shine in their discussion of notetaking as a fundamental part of the writing process, and offer invaluable tips on how to find time to write in impossibly busy times.”

“An excellent guide for helping writers do what they need to do: write. This book helps established and aspiring writers break free from the linear model of writing we so often slip into and instead embrace the creative, dynamic process of writing as thinking.”
