Subject:White Paper Proposals From:Michele Davis <michele -at- krautgrrl -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Thu, 17 Jun 2004 17:04:26 -0500
Hi all, I know I asked this like a month ago, but I didn't like the
answer I received so I am noodling for a different one. lol. I have to
write a white paper proposal for a military contract grant. I have
written ones for software, but not for manufacturing. In addition, my
old white papers don't have a lot of personal company info. in them, at
all actually.
The answer I received regarding this last month was that I should employ
"good writing technique" and simply create a narrative that includes a
beginning, middle and end. Uh, yeah. Am I trapped in a Seinfeld epiosde?
I think I need more than that. I know I need an Executive Summary. But
should that come at the beginning or at the end? And what about company
info? What about pieces of the manufacturing that are integral to the
product but are not part of the Statement of Work? I have to sound
vague, sorry, but I have a very strict NDA with this one. Yikes! I need
help, and my Internet searches yield zip, zero, nothing!
Thanks, in advance, I really appreciate everyone's time!
