Government Proposal Writing and Preparation
I write compliant, evaluator-focused proposals for small businesses responding to federal, state, and local solicitations. If the requirements feel overwhelming or your team does not have time to write, I turn your company’s information into a clear, well-organized submission.
Who this is for
This is for business owners who have found a solicitation they want to pursue and need a proposal that answers every requirement and is easy for evaluators to score. It also suits companies that have written proposals before and want an experienced writer to take the load.
What you receive
- Technical approach volume
- Management plan
- Past performance documentation
- Pricing narrative and schedule
- Compliance matrix
- Representations and certifications
- Final pre-submission compliance review
- Submission support
The exact set of documents depends on what the solicitation requires.
How it works
- 1
Send the solicitation
Share the solicitation, the due date, and what you already have ready.
- 2
I review it
I read the instructions and evaluation criteria and tell you what a strong response will take.
- 3
We confirm the scope
You get the scope, fee, and delivery schedule before any writing begins.
- 4
I write and review
I draft each volume against the evaluation criteria, check compliance, and refine it with your feedback before submission.
What I need from you
- Accurate company information, including history, capabilities, and certifications
- Past performance details and references
- Staffing, equipment, and operational commitments you can stand behind
- Pricing inputs such as labor rates, costs, and margins
- Your review and final approval before anything is submitted
I write the proposal. You remain responsible for the accuracy of the information and for the commitments the proposal makes.
Timing
Proposal timelines depend on the solicitation’s requirements, complexity, submission deadline, and how much information your company has ready. I review these details before confirming the scope and delivery schedule.
If your deadline is approaching, reach out now. Short turnaround requests are considered based on availability and the work required. I’ll confirm whether I can support your submission before you commit.
What clients say
Isaac was a great partner throughout the proposal writing process. He took the time to understand what was needed and helped turn our information into a clear, well-organized, professional proposal. I appreciated his attention to detail, straightforward communication, and willingness to work through revisions. I felt confident having him handle the writing and would gladly work with him again. I highly recommend Isaac to anyone looking for a reliable proposal writer who puts real care into their work.
Isaac was absolutely wonderful! He was very thorough, professional, and asked lots of questions I didn’t think of to ensure the project was done correctly. He also has great communication skills.. I look forward to working with him again very soon!
Our proposal had the highest rating of all the vendors and we have been invited for a final in-person interview.
They won. Up to $124,800 per year.

Common questions
Can you write the whole proposal?
Yes, where the solicitation allows it. I can write each volume, build the compliance matrix, and support submission. You provide the company facts and pricing inputs, and you approve the final version.
What if my deadline is close?
Reach out now and share the solicitation and due date. Short turnaround requests are considered based on availability and the work required, and I will tell you whether I can support your submission before you commit.
Do you guarantee we will win?
No. Nobody can promise an award. My focus is a compliant, clear proposal that makes it easy for evaluators to see why your company is a good choice.
What do you need to get started?
The solicitation and the due date. If you have a past proposal, a capability statement, or company information on hand, send those too.
How is the fee set?
The fee depends on the size and complexity of the solicitation. I confirm the scope and fee with you before work begins.
Is there a charge to talk first?
If our first conversation is enough, there is no charge.
