Many nonprofits don’t have a fundraising problem — they have a development leadership gap. I work with established nonprofit organizations as a fractional Director of Development, helping leadership stabilize revenue, organize fundraising systems, and move from reactive fundraising to planned, sustainable growth. I do not work on commission or one-off “grant fishing.” My work is best suited for organizations that want structure, clarity, and long-term fundraising capacity. What I Actually Do 🔸My work is outcome-driven and typically includes: 🔸Designing and overseeing annual fund strategy 🔸Grant pipeline planning, research, and proposal development 🔸Major donor prospecting and leadership-level giving strategy 🔸Case for support and donor-facing messaging 🔸Board and executive-level fundraising guidance 🔸CRM and donor systems organization I focus on what needs to be built or fixed, not just what needs to be written. Typical Engagements I typically work with organizations in one of the following ways: ✅Fractional Director of Development support (monthly) Ongoing leadership-level support focused on revenue stability, fundraising planning, donor strategy, and organizational clarity. ✅Fundraising stabilization or infrastructure reset (90-day engagement) A time-bound engagement to organize fundraising systems, clarify priorities, build pipelines, and address gaps limiting growth. ✅Annual fund or campaign planning and execution Strategy, messaging, timelines, and execution support for annual appeals, Giving Tuesday, and year-end campaigns. ✅Grant pipeline development and submission cycles Prospect research, calendar development, proposal strategy, and submission management across state, national, and private funders. ✅Major donor and board fundraising strategy Prospect identification, cultivation planning, and leadership and board engagement support. How I Work I work in structured, outcome-driven engagements rather than open-ended task lists. Each engagement is organized around a small number of active priorities, clear deliverables, and regular close-out communication so progress is visible and nothing drifts. At the beginning of each month or project phase, we align on focus and expectations. Work is handled primarily asynchronously, with targeted check-ins as needed to maintain momentum without unnecessary meetings. Each period concludes with a brief written summary outlining what moved forward, what is ready next, and any decisions needed from leadership. This approach provides clarity, accountability, and steady progress while allowing nonprofit leaders to stay focused on mission and operations rather than managing fundraising tasks. Experience & Results ➡️Led and wrote six annual fund campaigns raising $4M+ ➡️Directed fundraising events, including two galas raising $2M+ ➡️Secured state, national, and private foundation funding, including USDA and major arts councils ➡️Built major donor pipelines (500+ HNW prospects) and advised on complex, organization-shaping gifts ➡️Serve on the board of a nonprofit I advised through founding and 501(c)(3) approval ➡️Completed Master’s-level academic work (NYU) in fundraising and philanthropy What Clients Are Saying ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Pete’s insights and guidance were instrumental in helping us establish key initiatives.

EXPERIENCE In the past few years, I've partnered with authors and professionals across a wide range of nonfiction projects — including a 35,000-word manuscript on AI for business, self-help workbooks, and memoir-style narratives. Clients consistently highlight three qualities in my work: I communicate clearly, I deliver under pressure, and I never lose sight of what the author is trying to achieve. Clients have described working with me as: ✦ "Extremely professional. Even under tight deadlines, she delivered high-quality work and maintained great communication." ✦ "She thought ahead and made valuable suggestions that improved the final result." ✦ "Detailed, thoughtful feedback — and open to short turnaround times." I bring that same level of care and commitment to every manuscript I work on. WHO I WORK WITH Memoir writers ready to shape their personal story into a compelling, emotionally honest narrative. Nonfiction authors — coaches, consultants, and experts — turning their knowledge into a structured, reader-focused book. First-time authors preparing their manuscript for self-publishing or professional submission.

Proofreading A precise final pass to catch every remaining error before your book reaches readers. Clean, consistent, and publication-ready. Beta Reading & Feedback An in-depth reader response covering clarity, engagement, structure, and overall impact — ideal for authors who want honest, thoughtful feedback before moving into full editing. WHAT SETS MY WORK APART ✓ I think ahead — not just fixing what's there, but anticipating what your manuscript needs next. ✓ Your voice stays intact — I sharpen your writing without flattening what makes it yours. ✓ Detail-oriented at every level — from big-picture structure down to the final punctuation mark. ✓ Reliable under deadlines — high-quality work delivered on time, every time. ✓ Collaborative by nature — I listen carefully, follow your vision, and communicate every step of the way. ✓ Free 1,000-word sample edit — experience my editing style before making any commitment.

What stage is your manuscript at — early draft, complete draft, or nearly ready to publish? What is the one thing about your manuscript that you feel still isn't working the way you want it to? Ready to take your manuscript to the next level? Send me a message today.
