Proposal writers

["Herman Holtz" <h -dot- holtz -at- worldnet -dot- att -dot- net>]

    I was a proposal writer relatively early in the game--that is, when the
printed copy of the Commerce Business Daily was our chief source of
information about proposals to anticipate, cost $15 per year for a
subscription, and arrived in your office on its printed date. I was one of
the first, if not the first (in this area, at least) to declare myself a
proposal consultant, offering clients something more than writing experience
and familiarity with the proposal process.

    It's been a long time since then, and a great many people have since
become familiar with the proposal process. I have begun to wonder just how
many on the techwr-l list are experienced in proposal writing. I invite any
who are interested to sign in, perhaps with a word or two to indicate how
often you do proposal work, whether or not you specialziein it, and
anythinhg lese that you think might be of interest. I am wondering, in fact,
if there would be an interest having a proposal SIG (special interest
group).

    Speaking for myself, I am fond of doing proposal work, much more so than
of writing manuals and procedures. But how about you? Care to log in? - Herm
