Every proposal needs an editor to get it in the customer-ready shape. Unlike regular editing, however, proposal editing requires skills that normally take a long time to master by trial and error unless you take this course. It covers everything from developing the professional attributes of an editor, to estimating your workload correctly, figuring out the optimum workflow, integrating changes, and adding value to the content you’ve edited through incorporating compelling language. It will help you remove irrelevancies and puffed-up text, sniff out showstopper mistakes, translate ugly “proposalese” and “technicalese” to proper English, and enforce consistent style.

 

The polished, professional appearance of your proposal is paramount to making a positive impression on evaluators.

 

You will learn how to work with subject matter experts (SMEs) and edit their content to meet proposal requirements. You will practice editing for clarity and meaning, sharpen your ability to spot factual errors and redundancies, and organize unfocused materials. You will also learn how to infuse a consistent voice throughout your proposal regardless of the number of authors involved. This hands-on workshop filled with examples and exercises that will help you master the techniques for rapid and; accurate editing using the available tools.

 

Upon course completion, the participants will have learned and be able to put into practice:

  • Understanding a proposal editor’s role and key attributes.
  • Understanding compliance.
  • Assessing material and estimating resources required to edit sections.
  • Optimizing editing time and workflow in a team of editors to save resources.
