Meredith takes future and present grant writers on a journey with truisms about personal process and self-limiting beliefs, how to do the work, and anecdotes that keep it all real. Her willingness to pull back the curtain on grant writing, removing the mystery and the either-you're-in-the-club-and-know ... or not aspect out of the process. What a wonderful reference tool!”
