I am thrilled to announce the release of my first book, The Queen of Grants: From Teacher to Grant Writer to CEO<\/strong>. The narrative begins with my early days as a New York City Department of Education teacher, securing my initial grant, and evolving into a successful grant writer. In addition, I explore the establishment of GrantWatch and the valuable life lessons I learned during this transformative journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My greatest hope is that this book<\/a> will demystify the grant application and writing processes and become an integral part of your granting writing toolkit. What’s more, I am confident that with the instruction you gain, it will help you become a more successful grant writer and entrepreneur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click Here To Order The Queen of Grants: From Teacher to Grant Writer to CEO. <\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Just in time for February, you can gift this book to a teacher, grant writer, executive director, or manager of a nonprofit. Do you, or someone you love want to write grants? Lucky for you the book <\/a>is published and it’s also the season to spread the love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thinking of Learning to Write Grants Yourself<\/strong>: If you already have the skills for persuasive writing, this is the perfect time to throw caution to the wind and start a new career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Little Bit of Heart and Soul<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

In addition to my own personal narrative, I have compiled an extensive list of answers to commonly asked grant-related questions. This section contains information gathered over the course of 13 years and the advice is solid gold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, I teach you my secrets of how to be grant-ready and how to write grants. What follows are usable writing samples for the many possible parts of a grant application. To round out the journey, the solid advice, and practical samples, I have also crafted a creative example that shows you each section of a grant and how it should flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, I end the book with a demonstration of an LOI letter of inquiry using ChatGPT as a refining tool and include my thoughts on Artificial Intelligence and the future of grant writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book is currently published on Amazon, and you can purchase the hardcover<\/a>, softcover<\/a>, or Kindle version<\/a>. The book is also available at Barnes and Noble<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of us at GrantWatch<\/a><\/strong> are so excited about this book and the opportunity it provides grant seekers everywhere. Let me know your thoughts at support@grantwatch.com<\/a><\/strong> or be among the first to leave a positive review on Amazon. I can’t wait to hear from you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
