Because of the threads on resumes, I have been reconsidering mine.

I have done lots of R&D engineering grant writing where the emphasis was on writing rather than technology. Grants give pedigree to a project that frequently leads to higher quality investors. Is this a good thing to include?

If I include samples of the process (as required in grant applications) in my portfolio, and include the award amounts, seems to me it might be a good selling point. What say you?

My track record with grant applications is excellent. No one has every been denied one that I wrote the application for. Grants are often nested, so that once one is awarded others become available for larger amounts. I have gotten about 15 clients at least one grant, the average is three. However, this is a very different kind of writing, as formats, styles, etc. are codified by whatever the granter specifies, usually most uncreative, and little to no TW involved.
