How to Become A Grant Writing Consultant: A Start-Up Guide for Your Home-Based Business is for the “amazed, dazed, and even crazed trying to figure out how to break into the field and make a full-time living writing grants and doing grants-related consulting,” writes the author, a full-time independent consultant since 1989. Ms. Browning offers advice for newcomers to the field, including details from her personal experience and those of other consultants. The 13 chapters discuss a grant-proposal writer’s duties, how to begin a career, organizing a home office, choosing whether to specialize, marketing a consulting business, finding paying clients, writing contracts, choosing projects, building a track record, juggling multiple clients, and gaining inspiration from other consultants. The booklet also contains samples of a promotional letter, biography, rate sheet, and project proposal.
