Customer Reviews

A Most Helpful Resource

Mr. Miller clears the air about grant writing! I especially appreciated the exhibits for creating your own communications, reports, and documents. If someone was getting into grant writing, I'd make this required reading.

Excellent Resource

Grant writing is both a science and an art. It requires attention to detail as well as an intuitive grasp of what the grantor is looking for. I believe that Miller's "Grant Writing, Strategies for Developing Winning Proposals" does an excellent job of addressing both these characteristics.There are a number of outstanding characteristics in this book. I found the highlighted material in each chapter to be extremely helpful. The material highlighted in these "exhibits" constitutes the major steps the grant writer must take in order to write a winning grant. It is a step by step walk through the essence of sucessful grant writing. Another aspect of the book I found helpful were the review questions at the end of each chapter. There questions served to provide a review of the basic knowledge necessary in writing grants. Finally, the recommended exercises at the end of each chapter provide an opportunity to the reader to practice the skills identified in the chapter."Grant Writing,Strategies for Developing Winning Proposals" is informative and hands-on, a unique combination that makes for an extremely valuable resource for grant writers.

Worth every penny!

This book was what we have been searching for. Easy to follow and understand. An extremely good value for what we anticipate we will generate in grant funding. We would highly recommend this book definitely for beginning grant writers and also for the more experienced grant seekers.

Excellent teaching tool

This is a great textbook for a class in grant preparation. The book presents major strategies in a clear and understandable manner. The exercises help students to apply the material they have read. Good quizzes at the back of each chapter as well as a comprehensive final exam to test students' knowledge. The selected references, especially the Web sites, are very helpful. If you are teaching "grant writing," this might be the book for your students.
