The Only Grant Writing Book You'll Ever Need

The Complete Book of Grant Writing is unique in that it's co-authored by a grant writer (Smith) and a grant maker (Works), so the reader gets both perspectives on what makes a successful grant proposal. The book begins with an overview of the two types of grant seeking: reactive grant seeking (responding to "requests for proposals" or RFPs) and proactive grant seeking.

The Complete Book of Grant Writing then takes the reader through every step of writing grant proposals, from the planning stages before you write a word, through the five core components of every grant proposal.
