"Shipley Proposal Guide is an outstanding resource for the rookie as well as the seasoned proposal manager!

I'm starting from scratch. I've been on the side line helping but never managing the proposal activity. When the day came to be the Proposal Manager I turned to an expert and was refered to Shipley's Guide. What a time saver. Everything in one place and easy to understand. Major or minor proposal is no different--The guidance in Shipley's can be tailored. Get it! Best investment you can make."
"I've written grants and proposals for years. Never heard of Shipley until I was looking for contract work, and companies were requesting Shipley's experience. Purchased the book, and I am so HAPPY I did. It is like the Bible for proposal writing. From the first page you gain knowledge. It is easy to understand, straight forward, and the examples are incredible. I wish I knew about this book 10 years ago."
