This guide for inexperienced grant writers is targeted to several groups of readers: those with good writing skills who want to learn about grant writing as a profession; teachers or
administrators in educational, nonprofit, or local government agencies; and artists, scholars, and other individual grant seekers. The book begins with general advice on getting started in
grant writing as a career, and finding and securing a grant writing position. Later chapters walk through the grant writing process, from researching foundation and corporate support through
writing specific types of queries and proposals and managing grant awards. Boxed dialogues with professional grant writers offer insider tips. Sample letters and annotated proposals are
included, along with margin notes and b&w screen shots. Timothy Kachinske is a veteran grant writer. Judith Kachinske is assistant instructional supervisor of grants and monitoring for
Prince George’s County Public Schools. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
