Questions
How do the downloads arrive?
After checkout you receive an email with a download link, and the same link is shown on the confirmation page. The templates are PDFs to print or fill in, and the tracker is a spreadsheet you can keep.
Is there merch?
Yes: tees, hoodies, mugs, totes, prints and stickers with my own designs. Each is printed to order and shipped by Printful, and the cost and delivery time show at checkout.
Do I need experience to write a grant proposal?
No. The first course starts from a project idea and walks you through every part. Many people who take it have never written one.
How often does the letter come, and how do I leave?
One every Friday. Every email has an unsubscribe link at the bottom, and it works at once.
About
About me
I worked in a small community centre for eleven years, and for most of them I wrote the grant applications. I lost more than I won at first. Then I sat on a panel that read the applications, and I saw what a reviewer sees at the end of a long day: a stack of proposals that all sound the same and one that is clear.
I coach people to write the clear one. You do not need a big organisation, special training or fancy words. You need a real project, a plain aim, a budget that matches and a calm way of working through the deadline. I film short lessons at my desk, and I write a letter every Friday about one small part of the proposal.
