Simple, Concise, and a Must-Have when Starting to Write Grants

Holly does an excellent job of putting together important grant writing information and FAQs in this easy-to-read book. A great introduction to those looking to dip their toes into the grant pool, and great insights and reminders to those who might have more experience. I really enjoyed the worksheets in the book which help you sort out your ideas, reinforce information, and practice ideas taught in the book.

Motivational

I had a course in grant writing and was introduced this guidebook. It has inspired and encouraged me to pursue my own dreams of becoming a nonprofit organization and a freelance grant writer. I intend to purchase more books from Holly. I love the way she sets the tone in this beginner’s guide book to help ease our minds. Especially, if writing is not really something we are used to doing. Awesome job Holly.

From Novice to Pro

Holly’s book literally helped propel me from novice to a pro. From having not won any grants to now over 11 million dollars in awards! Holly hits all the points and offers so much more than just writing the grants. This book will show you easy tips to research and find the grants, how to not miss any steps in writing them and key points to hit in submitting them. I recommend this book as a staple in everyone’s library!

The Beginning of a New Era

I thoroughly enjoyed the workbook layout, as well as Holly’s writing/teaching style. I felt like I had found exactly what I needed. I learned so much from the book and then found Holly online, and now I’m learning to write better proposals *and* better position myself as a freelance nonprofit consultant.
