Summary: Very useful
Comment: I agree with other reviewers that at 62 pages it may be a bit expensive but I think if you reread the title of the book you will find no misrepresentations of what's inside. When you consider the content and price of Ms. Browning's "Grant Writing For Dummies" book and the hefty $$ price of this book, one would expect a more voluminous work, but having said that, one must remember there are many, many books on grantwriting and I challenge you to find any other books on how to become a grant writing consultant. This book is about the business of a money business by one of the top in the business and if you're a business-minded individual you will always remember the #1 consideration in business is: SUPPLY & DEMAND. There are no complicated theories addressed here but a straight forward account of how she started in this business and how you can start in this business and what you must do and what you must know. Once again, there are many books that will help to teach you what you must know but only this book addresses what you must do in order to make a living as a grant writing consultant.
By the way, I can't utilize the information contained here at this time because I don't know enough about grant writing but I'm very glad Ms. Browning offers her other resources here (Why would Arnold Swarzenegger recommend you read another bodybuilder's book when he's the world's most accomplished bodybuilder?).
I would've given this book 5 stars but I took one away because although it's worth the $$ I do feel that Ms. Browning held back just a little and used this book as an appetizer to sell her grant writing mentoring programs. Highly recommended.

Summary: Falls short of expectations
Comment: The author did a terrific job in her other book "Grant Writing For Dummies". I expected more of the same in her "Consultant" book. The book is little more than a desktop published brochure. It is particularly irksome given the hefty price of $50 for a 60 page printout. This stikes me as little more than opportunism by the author.
My advice is to stick with her "Dummies" book. "How to Become a Grant Writing Consultant" falls short of the mark.

Summary: A Disappointment and A Waste of [money]
Comment: This book was not worth [money]. There were 62 pages with a large font (perhaps size 14 or 16) with a paperback, stapled binding. The book is anecdotal and has a conversational tone. The language format chosen is surprising given the fact that the author is a professional writer. The book not only sounds home-made, but looks it. The graphics and layout looked as if the book was published on Microsoft Publisher. I wish that I had seen this in a bookstore because I certainly wouldn't have wasted the money.
