I recently took a job where one of my focuses is to seek out and write grants. I have had some experience but not to this magnitude. I was researching books to help make sure I met the criteria for the technical writing and ran across this book. It was great and gave me some ideas as to how to structure specific areas of my proposal. It was well worth the purchase price as far as I'm concerned and I know that I will use it again in the future.
After a brief overview of the composition of a grant proposal, this book is almost entirely comprised of example paragraphs organized around one line directional statements. For example, broad instructions like "show funders how your program will work and make a difference in your community" are followed by six or so sample paragraphs, each showing how a different organization might answer. Plenty of phrases are printed in bold type and apparently the "perfect phrases" the author assumes proposal writers will want to copy and paste into their own proposals.Personally, I was unimpressed with many of the samples which seemed less professional than I expected, and came off more as a shmoozy self-hype sales pitch than seems respectable from a non-profit organization. I suppose that someone without much writing experience could use this to get themselves started, copying and pasting together a proposal of their own out of the examples, but if you're looking for how-to's and actual skill improvement in grant proposal writing, I would recommend looking elsewhere.
This is another great book by Dr. Beverly. She makes everything so easy for those just starting out their grant writing journey or for those who have been at it for a while and just need a litle push. As always, the book was informative, relevant, and a must have for your grant writing tools collection.
I chose this rating because this book helps a person focus on "how" they word their information which, in everything I have learned about grant writing, is critical for your grant to be read.
The book is a collection of succinct phrases and sentences that may be helpful for the beginner grant writer in need of a place to start.
This book is incredibly helpful. If you're fairly new at writing grant proposals, get a copy of it. It opens my mind to possible ways of saying things while providing a foundation for me to write from. For a little book, it's packed with a lot of concrete ideas.
Some nice advice on what to write into a each section of a grant. Fell a little short for me, but was still useful. Could have been more helpful if there were glossaries to go along with the advice and examples.
The phrases helped me so much on how I need to write my grant proposal, this makes a big difference in how your grant is written to be chose to receive a grant.Would highly recommend this book.
