Some of these may surprise you because you have been living the life thinking you only need to Google \\u201cGrant Writer Salary\\u201d and the Internet will get some ideal number that you can just throw onto your freelance grant writing website or in that grant writer salary description.\\n\\nHere\\u2019s the thing. The most deafening question I get from my grant writing students is, \\u201cHow much should I charge for my grant writing skills?\\u201d\\n\\nI am not going to give you a magic number in this article of what you should charge, but I think we first need to understand why we keep peering out into the information universe for this question instead of tuning inward.\\n\\nWhat I am going to share with you in this podcast should wake you up a bit and hopefully will ripple some change across this female-dominant landscape.\\n\\nThanks for listening!\\nHolly Rustick\\nExpert Grant Writer & Bestselling Author\\nhttps://www.grantwritingandfunding.com/ \\n\\nFavor, please?\\nIf you love this podcast, would you please do me a favor and leave a review on iTunes or your podcast listener?\\n\\n\\u2728\\u2728 Visit www.grantwritingandfunding.com to get the proven G.R.A.N.T.S. formula to write winning grants \\u2728\\u2728'
