Introduction
Thank you for considering my services, and reviewing my profile with over 20 years of experience to show in a few work samples! Ghostwriting: The difference between a book that struggles and one that sells, is the combination of well-crafted content, presented with professionally designed graphics. My specialty genres are nonfiction, and memoir; each unique to your vision. I am not able to provide samples of client work due to non-disclosure agreements, but have posted sample pages of personal writing. Fee quotes are based on the scope of work, and will be provided following a conversation about your project. Grants/Business Plans: Clients seek grant or business plan writers, not realizing the need for a business strategist to develop proposals that answer the requirements of grant funders, with honest, accurate, and detailed program information. My extensive business consulting background of serving 960+ client organizations across a wide range of industries and organizations has provided the knowledge and experience to optimally serve my clients with their business goals. I specialize in research, financial analysis, demographics, marketing analysis, and development of grant presentation strategies. Federal Grant Proposals: grants have been successfully developed for; Health and Human Services (HHS) Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) National Endowment for the Arts (NEH) Small Business Administration (SBA) National Institute of Health (NIH) United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Department of Labor (DOL) Department of Transportation (DOT) Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) Business Plan Fee: $1,800-$2,800. Federal Grant Fee: based on the complexity of the grant requirements, starting at $3,200+. State Grant Proposals: based on the complexity, starting at $2,800+. Foundation Grant Proposals: based on the complexity, the range is $800-$2,800. Discounts are offered for multiple project work agreements. INTEGRITY. HONESTY. QUALITY WORK. I realize it is difficult to sift through all the options of professionals. I conduct business with integrity and sincere effort in delivering work that is of the highest quality, striving to always exceed my client’s expectations. I will happily answer any and all questions you may have to give you the confidence necessary to ensure I am the correct fit for your project. If you are looking for a fresh approach, I would like the opportunity to consult with you. Best regards, DJ (Jaina) Simmons

Deb has been amazing to work with. She did a magnificent job on the first project, so we hired her again and she did fabulous work on the second project as well. She has saved us countless hours of research and writing. Her work is very high quality. Highly Recommend.

My organization and I had an amazing experience working with Deborah recently on our grant application. She was top-notch and methodical in her research and writing. Deb heard our story, asked questions, and worked hard to align our core values with the grant application requirements. She was pleasant to work with from start to finish. The product she delivered exceeded my team’s expectations and we look forward to working with her in the future. I highly recommend Deb to anyone who is looking for quality product and excellent service.

Working with Deb was an absolute pleasure. She was very responsive and super professional. Since I procrastinated, per usual, I only had a couple weeks to get my business plan complete and she stepped up and got it done in a little over a week. I would definitely recommend her to my friends/family. 5 stars.
