What Is the ResearchTalk Qualitative Writing Camp?

The ResearchTalk Qualitative Writing Camp is a 3.5-day online program led by a team of qualitative inquiry mentors, designed to help researchers produce data-based writing—articles, books, chapters, reports, and presentations—that is authentic, impactful, and relevant. According to ResearchTalk's site, the next camp runs December 1–4, 2026, and is delivered exclusively online. It suits qualitative researchers who already have data or a draft in progress and want structured guidance to turn that material into publishable or presentable work.

What the camp covers

The camp's stated purpose is to introduce strategies for composing writing grounded in qualitative data. The emphasis is on three qualities:

• Authentic — writing that stays faithful to the data and the participants behind it
• Impactful — writing that matters to readers and the field
• Relevant — writing that connects to the questions and audiences it serves

The formats named on the site are articles, books, chapters, reports, and presentations, so the camp is not limited to journal manuscripts.

Format and structure

The 3.5-day online format means you participate remotely and should plan for consecutive working sessions rather than a single workshop.

Who it is for

The camp fits researchers who:

• Work with qualitative data and need to move from analysis to written output
• Want mentor feedback and structured writing time rather than a lecture-only course
• Are preparing a specific deliverable—an article, chapter, report, or conference presentation

If you are still designing a study or collecting data, the writing camp may be premature; ResearchTalk's other offerings, such as its professional development courses and consulting services, may fit better at that stage.

How to get details and register

The site does not publish pricing, registration steps, or a detailed daily agenda for the camp. To get current information:

1. Visit the Qualitative Writing Camp page on researchtalk.com (linked from the Upcoming Events section).
2. Email [email protected] to ask about registration, cost, and the schedule.
3. Check whether the camp is offered again after December 2026 if the dates do not work for you.

ResearchTalk also maintains a mailing list for updates—the site suggests emailing [email protected] to join it, which is useful if you want advance notice of future camps or related events like the Qualitative Research Summer Intensive.

What to confirm before committing

Because the public page is light on logistics, verify these points directly with ResearchTalk:

• Cost and payment — not listed on the site
• Registration deadline and capacity — not listed
• Prerequisites — whether you need a completed dataset or draft
• Daily schedule and time zone — the camp is online, but session times are not published
• Continuing education credit — not mentioned

Treat the December 1–4, 2026 dates as the current published schedule and confirm them before making travel or leave plans, since the site notes that some event details are released closer to the date.
