A step-by-step guide to proposals and grants

This third edition maps proposal and grant writing from the initial search for a request for proposals through the design of final deliverables. Its practical structure combines stage-by-stage guidance with worksheets, rhetorical tools, case studies, and sample proposals. Compared with the earlier edition, it adds material on research grants, including literature reviews and research methods, and addresses how generative AI applications can fit into proposal-writing workflows. The book brings together process guidance and examples, making the work of planning, analyzing requirements, and developing a proposal visible as a sequence of tasks.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Writers developing business proposals or grant applications who want guidance across the full process.
  • Students or professionals seeking worksheets, examples, and case studies to support proposal writing.
  • Writers interested in the book’s coverage of research grants and generative AI workflows.

Book overview

Writing Proposals and Grants, Third Edition takes readers through the entire proposal and grant writing process-from finding and analyzing requests for proposals to designing final deliverables. Writing Proposals and Grants (3rd ed.) offers an updated and expanded version of Writing Proposals (2nd ed.). This new edition maintains what so many readers loved about Writing Proposals (2nd ed.): its step-by-step guidance for each stage of proposal and grant writing, its numerous worksheets and heuristics, and its grounding in time-tested rhetorical principles. Readers of older editions will notice that Writing Proposals and Grants (3rd ed.) now offers additional guidance for grant proposal writing-including details about writing literature reviews and research methods-as well as new and revised case studies and sample proposals. The new edition also offers advice about integrating generative artificial intelligence applications into proposal and grant writing workflows.
