GRANT WRITING AND BUSINESS PLAN

$25/hr Starting at $250

Gig Title:

I will write a compelling business plan or grant proposal that wins and impresses investors


Gig Description:

Most business plans sit in a drawer. Most grant proposals get a polite rejection. The ones that win all have one thing in common. They were written to persuade, not just to inform.


I write business plans and grant proposals that make decision-makers say yes. I've worked with startup CEOs, small business owners, and community organizations to secure project approval, attract investors, and launch new ventures. I understand what investors are actually looking for and I write every word with that in mind.

This isn't a fill-in-the-blank template service. Every plan and proposal I write is built from scratch around your specific goals, audience, and target.


For Business Plans:

✓Executive summary that tells your vision in the first paragraph

✓Market research and competitive analysis

✓Business model, revenue streams, and strategy

✓Marketing and customer acquisition plan

✓Operations and management structure

✓Financial projections: startup costs, break-even, profit forecast

Clean, investor-ready formatting


For Grant Proposals:

✓Compelling needs statement aligned with funder priorities

✓Clear, measurable program goals and outcomes

✓Detailed implementation and timeline plan

✓Budget narrative 

✓Language calibrated specifically for your target funder

✓Funding doesn't go to the best idea. It goes to the best-presented idea. Let's make sure yours is presented perfectly.


Tell me about your project and let's build something that wins.

  • John_English3 says,

    Mary did an outstanding job formatting and designing *Fluidity First*. From the beginning, she understood the tone and direction of the manuscript — calm, reflective, spacious, and emotionally grounded — and translated that beautifully into the final design. Communication was professional, thoughtful, and responsive throughout the project. She handled revisions quickly, incorporated feedback carefully, and elevated the overall presentation far beyond what I could have done on my own. The final product feels polished, literary, and professionally published. I would absolutely work with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for high-quality book formatting and design work.

    Mary is a very hard worker but the book wasn't going in the direction we wanted. We had to part ways. I wish her the best.
