I will review your federal grant narrative


About this gig
I am a current federal grant program director with 8+ years administering a multi-year Department of Labor cooperative agreement. I have written, scored, and lived inside federal narratives. I know what panel reviewers flag and what makes a proposal lose points before the budget page.
This gig is a structured competitiveness and compliance review of your federal grant narrative. You send me your draft and the NOFO. I send you back:
- Section-by-section scoring against the published evaluation criteria
- Specific, defensible edit recommendations (not vague "make it stronger" notes)
- Compliance flags for missing required elements
- A reviewer-perspective summary of where you are winning and where you are bleeding points
What I need from you:
- Your draft narrative (Word or PDF)
- The NOFO or solicitation
- Any page or character limits you are working against
Turnaround: 3 days standard, 24 hour available.
This gig is not: ghostwriting, full drafting, or budget review. Ask about my other gigs for those.
Federal grants are won on the third read, not the first draft. Let's get yours ready.

FAQ
What exactly do I get back from you?
A marked-up version of your narrative with inline comments, a separate summary document with section-by-section scoring against the NOFO evaluation criteria, a compliance checklist showing required elements present or missing, and a prioritized list of revisions ranked by point impact.
How is this different from a regular proofreader or editor?
A proofreader catches typos. A general editor improves clarity. I am reviewing your narrative the way a federal peer reviewer would, against the published scoring rubric, flagging where you are losing points and why. I work from the NOFO backward, not from the draft forward.
Do you rewrite my narrative for me?
If you pay for the added gig services, yes. Otherwise, no. this gig is review and feedback only. Rewriting requires a different scope and pricing. If you want full drafting or substantive rewriting, choose the write or rewrite option.
How fast is the turnaround?
Standard delivery is 3 days. 24 hour expedited delivery is available as an add-on. For NOFOs with deadlines under 7 days, message me before ordering so I can confirm availability.
Can you guarantee my grant will be funded?
No ethical grant professional can promise an award. Funding decisions belong to the federal panel. What I can do is make sure your narrative is fully responsive to the NOFO, compliant with every required element, and as competitive as possible against the published evaluation criteria.
What do I need to send you to get started?
Three things: your draft narrative in Word or PDF, the NOFO or solicitation document, and any page, character, or formatting limits you are working against. If you have a logic model, evaluation plan, or budget narrative you want reviewed alongside the main narrative, include those too.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes. Fiverr offers a built-in NDA add-on at checkout. I am comfortable working under NDA and routinely handle confidential program information. Just select the NDA option when ordering.
How many revisions are included?
Tier 1 includes one revision, Tier 2 includes up to 2 reviews, and Tier 3 includes up to three reviews. If you revise the narrative and need an additional review above these inclusions, you will need to make a new order.
