Are Eloquence and Grant Writing Mutually Exclusive? Contributed by:
Adriana ErcolanoThursday, February 24, 2005 (8 years 80 days ago)
"Omit extraneous words," was the quote that stretched across the entire front wall of my 10th grade English teacher’s classroom. Although I understood her aim, (and perhaps this clarity has come with age and experience and not from the mind of a 10th grader), I quietly railed against such an unyielding policy. How could the wordsmith’s poetry and prose be shortened? How could the craft of writing be considered any different from the visual arts? Would you tell Monet to use less blue, or that you can tell it was a sunflower already, just lighten it up a bit?

The Grant Writer's Conundrum: How to Avoid Becoming the Program Manager Contributed by:
Adriana ErcolanoTuesday, February 24, 2004 (9 years 81 days ago)
In October 2003, my CharityChannel colleague, Larry Trachtman addressed the transition from grant writer to program manager -- how someone who writes and submits grants can easily morph into the role of program manager. It can be a fluid, almost imperceptible transition that is welcomed, as in the case of Mr. Trachtman. Or it can leave some grant writers frustrated, anxious, and pulled in too many directions unrelated to the task at hand -- to write a grant proposal.
CharityChannel's WE REVIEW
CharityChannel members who have been admitted to the WE REVIEW Contributors Panel are eligible to receive recently-published books from a variety of publishers (and some self-publishers) to review. Reviews are not limited to books published by CharityChannel Press, the publishing project of the CharityChannel professional community. If you are interested in reviewing books, you are welcome to apply. Note that, even though WE REVIEW has been publishing reviews for over a decade, it has recently been reorganized and re-launched. We took the opportunity to remove prior reviews, since our focus is on newly published books.
