• How To Become A Grant Writing Consulting
28 March, 2008
Dr. Bev does a wonderful job giving simple but informative tips on becoming an independent consultant. I have read a couple of her books and they are great. The print is easy to read, and there wonderful samples of contracts,work logs, invoices, and other items a new consultant will need to track and grow a successful business. I recommend this book for anyone desiring to become an independent consultant. I felt confident after reading this book.

This book gave me just the information I was looking for. It is well worth the price.
A warning that the author issues about this book that should be heeded:
It is not for general grant writing/research or for people who are seeking personal grants.
However, for the grant-writing upstart it is a priceless guide! Thank you Beverly Browning...

• Disappointed
06 February, 2007
I was utterly surprised and disappointed when I opened the box and found what can only be described as a pamphlet inside.
It certainly is NOT worth the $49 price tag. The roughly 60+ sheets (printed on both sides) of paper and the oversized type serve as negative reminders that I paid far too much for this booklet.

• Overpriced!
29 September, 2006
I can't comment on the validity of the information contained because of my lack of grant writing experience, but I am absolutely certain I paid way too much for way too little. This book reminds me of my grade-school strategy to dupe the teacher into thinking she got what she asked for by writing with really big letters and repeating paragraphs verbatim in order to fill us space. Didn't work back then, either.

• Helpful To Beginners
06 November, 2007
I read Dr. Browning's first edition of this book and the 2nd edition is a big improvement, particularly in the specifics of pricing services. She lays out a neat table describing various pricing levels that may be either misleading or inspirational (depending upon how one views money matters) to novices or people looking to start a grant writing career. The truth of the matter is that it takes years of work developing a sound knowledge and experience base, and building a reputation in your community, to earn a basic living as a grant writer. And most grassroots nonprofits - and even some larger ones - balk at paying a REAL hourly rate for the REAL work it takes to write a clear, well-written grant proposal. I love to write and to improve people's lives - that's how I got hooked into writing my first successful grant 5 years ago. And while I do not agree with Bev on her pricing strategy and find the discussion of her ethical beliefs (use of "finder's fees and taking a percentage of a grant as payment) in the book to be confusing, I do respect her success. Because I know first hand what she went through to get there. Probably the most informative section of her book is the chapters related to costs of start-up, which can easily be used as the basis for researching a Business Plan.
