I’m Pat, and I want to work on your proposals. IMPORTANT NEWS: Don't be afraid to get into government contracting NOW even though the Federal government is in chaos. State, county and municipal government opportunities are more numerous than ever, and the Federal opportunities should stabilize next year. I do a one-hour consultation to teach you how to pursue them. Plus, I've been writing winning RFP/Q/I/SS/ETC response proposals for 30 years for both my company and many dozens of clients: Federal, State, County, Municipal, Academic, Private Sector, and Non-Profit. After running my company for over 25 years, I'm now focusing on one of my favorite aspects of building business: government contracting. I do it because it's fun for me and I'm very, very good at it. That's a win for all of us. Let's make your proposals top-three and your business recession proof!

I have been working on UpWork as technical advisor for several start-ups. One is a start-up in San Francisco that I worked with since May 2014 as their "part-time, remote CTO" -- after documenting the design for their investment management software, then documenting the enterprise software non-functional requirements that they need to meet to be taken seriously in the financial services world, and was their "technical project manager" for over 6 months. I have also helped them on their business continuity planning and information security programs that they need in place to connect to some large investment firms. Another is a more mature start-up in Indonesia, but they have several challenges with the organization of their IT team and development activities. I am helping them to put in place methods, tools and procedures. I work regularly with other smaller start-ups; all related to their IT activities and most of them with a focus on efficiently outsourcing to lower-cost resources.

How to Hire Top Proposal Writers

How to hire proposal writers

Need to consult a higher authority to make a purchase, launch a project, or pursue funding? A proposal writer can help.

So how do you hire proposal writers? What follows are some tips for finding top proposal writers on Upwork.

How to shortlist proposal writing professionals

As you’re browsing available proposal writing consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

  • Industry fit. You want a proposal writer who understands your industry so they can draft a proposal that will resonate with your target audience.
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., writing proposals for construction permits).
  • Feedback Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular proposal writer.

How to write an effective proposal writing job post

With a clear picture of your ideal proposal writer in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

An effective proposal writing job post should include:

  • Scope of work: From purchase requests to grant applications, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries or writing styles, mention this here.
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

How much does it cost to hire a proposal writer?
