Winning Grants, Step by Step $27
"This book packs the punch in 128 pages. After browsing the Web for many, many, many hours finding this book was a pleasant surprise. The key strength of this book is that it does not drag on a lengthy discussion on finding sources of funding for a long time---many of us in Academia already know who we expect to get funded through! If what you're looking for is detailed guidance on actually shaping the research grant proposal, look no further. This book is very well written, to the point, and exemplifies good, concise writing. highly recommended!" — Amrit Tiwana

Writing for a Good Cause $12
"I have the feeling that this book will be 'dog-eared' in no time while the others will simply gather dust. For the beginning grantwriter, you will find tons of great practical advice. For us seasoned veterans, you will discover much which you may have forgotten...a great 'refresher course.' I especially like the section that discusses 'moonlighting' and how to make some extra money on the side. I've never seen that topic discussed before in a typical grantwriting book. This is a fun and entertaining read, and is a welcome addition to my professional library." — Patrick J. Heryford
