Here a Grant, There a Grant, Everywhere a Grant Grant!

Project Finished, Grants, Rita Writes History

Hi Everybody!

Are you drooling for a grant? Who isn’t, especially in today’s economy. But to get one, you’ll have to do more than daydream. You’ll have to work hard, pray hard (that’s pray, not play), and you’ll have to do your homework. That includes educating yourself about the different types of grants, what they’re for, who’s offering them, and what grant-makers expect from you before they write and sign that wonderful check.

To read one of the first place winners of the recent Knol For Dummies.con contest (yes, that’s right…I won first place!), and for links to more than ten grants click here.

Hello Everyone! I am a former special education teacher, and am currently a full-time children's writer, book blogger and freelance editor. My newest picture book,
The Oldest Student: How Mary Walker Learned to Read (Random House) debuted as the No. 1 Picture Book in Women's Biographies and Children's American History. It has since won the 2022 Texas Bluebonnet Award, the 2021 SCBWI Crystal Kite, and the 2022 Rhode Island Children's Book Award. It has received STARRED REVIEWS from Kirkus, Booklist, Publisher's Weekly and School Library Journal, and received a great review by The Wall Street Journal. My first picture book, Hammering for Freedom: The William Lewis Story (Lee and Low) debuted on September 24, 2018. It is a School Library Journal selection and received positive Kirkus and Horn Book reviews. I penned African Americans of Chattanooga: A History of Unsung Heroes, and I earned the 2014 SCBWI Letter of Merit for an unpublished multicultural novel. I am the author of several educational books for teens, and I occasionally review books for The New York Journal of Books. Thanks for visiting!
