Reader Feedback

Brad Philbrick, Principal of Brad G. Philbrick & Company, Indianapolis: “Grantepreneur is a propulsive, enlightening, and comprehensive guide for anyone who wants to launch their own grant writing business. Any successful business, practice, or organization needs customers, patients, clients, or accounts. Katherine details a Networking Action Plan including the use of social media, especially LinkedIn. I followed her guidance, and success came my way quickly with prominent organizations including our county health department and a drug-free coalition. On LinkedIn, I noticed a local teenage boy who is a race car driver with dyslexia. He started his own foundation, Driving for Dyslexia, at twelve! I “liked” the post and commented on his success. Now I work with Driving for Dyslexia to raise awareness, educate teachers, and seek ways to help Driving for Dyslexia grow. I am moving forward with heartfelt thanks to Grantepreneur! I highly endorse this book to anybody who seeks to begin a rewarding career as a grant consultant. Grantepreneur is a must-have for any writer’s library!”

Melissa U. Draut, Grant Consultant, http://www.melissadraut.com: “Took a break the other day and read your book. Just what I need when mentoring new folks who call and ask how to get started. They need to read your book before we meet for coffee! I really like how you present some self-reflection and assessment so folks know if they are in the right place at the right time. Spot on! On the same token, you’ve given me (a seasoned, not “old”) grant writer a way to think about my next chapter with grants. I have 10 years of wonderful experiences with people, groups and results.  Your book reminded me of all the reasons why I love grant consulting - besides the rush of bringing in the money for my groups. Your story inspired me - especially with the variety of work you do.” 

Brian R., “Grantepreneur helped me with a salary negotiation for a professional grant writer position. This book offers an exciting take on how to get started in a career and business that pays while helping organizations in need of assistance. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for direction and inspiration in their transition to this profession.”
