More Books

You can read two of the four new books now. I hope to have them all published (in print and for the Kindle) by the fall of 2025.

This book is ready for proofreading and publication.

Working with Stories Simplified: Participatory Narrative Inquiry in Brief

This is a slimmed-down version of Working with Stories. It contains the same concepts and exercises as WWS4, but in much less detail. It is for people who hate long books and for those who want a quick reference guide to PNI.

Working with Stories Sourcebook: Questions and Case Studies for Participatory Narrative Inquiry

This book manuscript will eventually contain 50 story forms (sets of questions) that suit a variety of project goals, plus 50 case studies of PNI projects. At the moment it has 36 story forms in it.

What's left to do: Write 14 more story forms; clean up my messy case-study notes.

Working with Stories in Depth: Advanced Topics in Participatory Narrative Inquiry

This book will draw together assorted pieces of writing from three sources: sections I moved out of the 4th edition of Working with Stories; sections from More Work with Stories (the book I nearly finished in 2014); and essays from my blog.

What's left to do: Triage, trim, organize.

If you read any of these books-in-progress, please send feedback. I will make good use of it as I prepare all four books for publication.
