<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Joanna,</div><div><br></div><div>I've included, as a secondary text in a graduate-level Grant and Proposal Writing course, <i>Models of proposal planning & writing, 2nd ed.</i> (2016), by Miner Ball-Stahl. It's an odd (and somewhat difficult) book to read, in that it features heavily annotated case studies of specific proposals, with most or all of the docs from the process included in each case study (e.g., CFP/RFP, LOI, proposal, reviewer feedback, decision letter), but it does make clear that proposal writing is more than one well-written proposal doc. Also, an oldie but goodie is Anne Beaufort's <i>Writing in the real world</i>, which as I remember has some good examples of novice writers badly misreading the context for proposals.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Lisa</div><div><br></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:medium;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;text-decoration:none;display:inline;float:none">——</span><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;text-decoration:none"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">Lisa Dush </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">Associate Professor, Department of Writing, Rhetoric, and Discourse (WRD)</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">Director, <a href="https://las.depaul.edu/centers-and-institutes/studio-chi/Pages/default.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Studio CHI Digital Humanities Center </a></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">DePaul University </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">SAC 350</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">Chicago, IL 60614</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><a href="tel:773.325.4069" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)"><font color="#000000">773.325.4069</font></a></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><a href="http://lisadush.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)"><font color="#000000">lisadush.com</font></a></p></div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Apr 27, 2019 at 8:02 AM Joanna Wolfe <<a href="mailto:jowolfe@cmu.edu">jowolfe@cmu.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear hive mind:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am looking for case studies/analyses of proposal writing, especially proposals that have failed or not been fully successful. Does anything jump to mind as a compelling study you have read? In particular, I am looking for analyses of
proposals that may have been well-written (in that they met the basic genre requirements) but failed to take into account the broader institutional context.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I know it’s a broad question, but I look forward to any recommendations that spring to your mind.<u></u><u></u></p>
