    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Writing and Other Familiar Things: Autoethnographic Possibilities puts on display a number of distinct ways of structuring essays that can be used in qualitative research and creative writing.


    The book takes as its subject an assortment of things. Part 1 approaches writing from a variety of perspectives, addressing distinct aspects of writing such as the power of the written word, the prevalence of writing in our daily lives, and the writing process itself. Part 2 takes on a variety of subjects, including seashells, hands, conundrums, masks, teaching, COVID, partners, hats, gardening, parents, politics, and hope.


    By presenting various structural possibilities, the book might be described as a ?how-to? book for any writer interested in a variety of creative approaches to writing essays.
