How to Say It: Grantwriting: Write Proposals That Grantmakers Want to Fund

This book is without a doubt worthy of an award! It is extremly well organized, leaves no rock unturned in terms of what you need to do to write a grant, and makes the reader feel empowered by utilizing Deborahs template for success. In addition, Deborah gives all the little tips and hints that I don't believe most authors would think of that are very helpful and encouraging. It is a joy to read, layed out in a format that is easy to follow, straight forward and written in prose that a person not well versed in grant writing could absorb.This gem of a book could be used to teach grantwriting or merely utilized as a reference by more seasoned grantwriters. Deborah includes a wealth of information throughout the book for clarity, and sites to refer to for specific information.I strongly recommend this excellent text for the novice-that is, if you really want to learn all about grantwriting in one book. This is it! K. Tyler

I've done a lot of writing, but grantwriting (which I'm doing for the first time now) is a different beast, with its own rules, structure, acronyms, etc. How to Say It: Grantwriting has good tips on what you need to know about the grant's audience, what to include in the grant, and how to write the most persuasive grant possible. I especially like the sample grants at the back of the book, that show what a good, fundable grant looks like. I will be referring to it often as I put together the grant for my organization.
