I ordered this book for a graduate course I am taking--I wanted it in 2 days as all the "local" book stores are an hour away... well the stores that had the book. Our local B&N did not carry it in stock. I had never ordered an express item and was a bit leery. Especially since road trippin' an hour away would cost me about what shipping did. I did not want to have to pay for both if the book did not arrive as promised. HOWEVER, the book DID arrive, in perfect NEW condition, as promised. THANKS!

The Only Grant-Writing Book You'll Ever Need: Top Grant Writers and Grant Givers Share Their Secrets by Ellen Karsh. I bought this book to learn how to write grants for my choral group. The book has excellent ideas about where to apply for grants, a list of federal grants available, and a list of websites for grant applications. I found it very helpful in my quest for writing grants for my goup.

I looked at all kinds of Grant Writing books before I purchased. This one was clearly the best. Forgiving for new comers, full of information on how to and how not to, clear and cleanly written and no fluff. They made good use of every page. I highly recommend this book over the others. This was well worth the price and my time. I'm sure I have a lot to learn, but this is the one book which gets me on the right track immediately.

This is another GREAT book on helping anyone learn how to write a grant. The information is easy to understand & very helpful. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning how to write grants. Ellen Karsh did a lot of research to put all of this together & make it so easy to know how to write one. Great Job, Ellen!

This grant writing book was assigned for a graduate course and it was very helpful in learning more about the process of grant writing. It also has sections that include open forum discussions with grant writers and grant reviewers in the field who share their pitfalls and successes, so we could all learn what writers and reviewers of grants think and what they look for in approving a grant.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very thorough and detailed
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2013

It covers a lot. The problem that most people or organizations don't understand the difference between a grant and a loan package is that the grant doesn't have to be paid back if if you complied to the grant's requirements; whereas a loan you must payback whether or not you complied.

I enjoyed this book. It provided a succinct overview of the grant writing process and I feel I will be able to employ the recommendations when applying for funding. I am particularly fond of the roundtable discussion component.

This was the required text for Writing Proposals and Grants (ENG 628) at Murray State University. Very nice for beginners, good examples, easy to follow. I think I will keep this book, though I already have the "dummies" book too. I'm not sure it's the only book you'll ever need (per the title), but it's a great start.

5.0 out of 5 stars The small sized grant book with the giant impact
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 22, 2012

This is a real good book - small in size but loud in impact. It is a good book for a beginner to the grant writing and the grant management process. Lot of information packed into the pages. Don't get distracted by its size. There is almost something about everything in this book. I would recommend it to those who are preparing for exams.
