Bailey B.
Grant Writer and Academic Editor
I am a professional writer and owner of Bridgewater Writing & Grant Services. I have written grant proposals that secured over 45 million dollars in funding to date from both federal and private programs. My most recent funded projects are a 23.5 million dollar DOT grant for a tribal client. and 3.2 million dollars from the Canadian government for a clean energy project. I also recently worked on a Bureau of Justice Affairs grant that was funded at $750,000 and an NSF SBIR funded for over 1 million. I have written proposals for the Department of Education's Strengthening Institutions, USAID, SBIR, USDA, National Science Foundation, Lilly Endowment, National Institute of Health, the Small Business Association's Community Navigator, the Association for Community Living, and the American Academy of Dermatology, in addition to private grants like Chase Bank, Draper, Richards and Kaplan, and Robert, Woods, Johnson's Innovation opportunity. I have also assisted with postdoctoral research grants. I enjoy the grant-writing process and love to help others secure funding for their projects. I am also an editor with over 10 years of experience working with academic texts, a Master's in English, and a PhD in Higher Education Leadership. I have taught English Composition to students from a variety of backgrounds at the college level, and I oversaw writing support at a university, where I trained faculty and students on writing techniques. I have edited dissertations in fields ranging from medical to engineering, and my own dissertation (on multilingual support in higher education) won a research award. I have published book chapters and academic articles, so I am familiar with the expectations of journals and dissertation committees. I am an expert at correcting grammar and punctuation, and I can work with APA, MLA, APSA, Chicago, and Harvard styles. Since I have published or studied in America, England, and South Africa, I can edit in American and British English. I have spent years teaching people to prevent plagiarism, so my grasp of citations and incorporating sources is excellent. I have helped numerous students and professors publish their work, and I would love to help you! In addition to offering regular grant editing/writing services, I also offer customized workshops for individuals and staffs on how to write grants. I'm happy to work with your non-profit team, your department, or your small business on how to identify grants, what to look for in an RFA, and how to write the narratives and assemble the package. Prices for this service vary by staff size and time requested. Contact me for a quote. Please note that I will not write articles or assignments for you, as this is plagiarism, so please do not ask. I also do not use AI for any part of the grant writing process, so your sensitive grant materials will never be used to train AI.
