The prospect of writing a proposal can be overwhelming - especially if you’re new to proposal writing. Where do you start? How do you make sense of the unique terminology? What information do you need to gather? How do you find funding sources? How can you best communicate your vision to others? Representing more than sixty years of proposal writing experience, The Art of Grant Writing will not only cover the basics of proposal writing, but also some of the “tricks of the trade” shared by professionals who have been at it success-fully for a number of years. It’s a practical, straightforward “how-to” guide to writing proposals and is filled with practical tips, cautions, and time-saving ideas. Whether you are new to proposal writing or already have some experience, there’s something for everyone in this book. “After 40 years of grants research, grant writing, and grant management I firmly believe that grant proposal writing is both an art and a science. The wonderful thing about this book is the way Ms. Gherman has interwoven these two approaches. If you're a novice grant writer, this book will guide you through this process with ease. If you are a professional, I think you will find hidden jewels to strengthen your own approach to proposal development.” -Cynthia M. Adams, CEO/President, GrantStation.com, Inc. “The Art of Grant Writing gives me a base of reference to create a good working tool for my staff... a real “how-to” instruction style with solid reference material.” -JoAnn Polston, Healy Lake Traditional Council, Healy Lake, Alaska “I was completely overwhelmed at the prospect of writing a grant proposal to anyone outside of our local area. I did not want to embarrass our organization. I now feel I have the tools to write a grant proposal which may be funded." -Lisa Gregory, Habitat for Humanity, Beckley, WV
