Should I Invest in a Proposal Writing Workshop?
Hey everyone,
I'm a self-taught music composer who's been dabbling in composing for a few years now. I've worked on a few personal projects and even did the music for a short film. Lately, I've been thinking of taking things to the next level—maybe do a residency abroad or find some way to get connected with others in the industry. I’ve applied for a few opportunities, but I've gotten rejected each time. I think it's because ,even though I answer the requirements, the way i structure my project and write my applications is holding me back.
So here’s where I need advice: there’s this online workshop that just launched specifically for artists like me who want to learn how to write proposals for grants or residencies. It’s $50, which I can afford, but but it’s a bit of a stretch. I’ve tried learning on my own through YouTube and guides, but I feel like I need more hands-on guidance, especially because this workshop offers 1-on-1 time with the trainer. From what I found out, the person leading the workshop seems to really know their stuff.
I’m hesitant to sign up because I’m not sure if it’s worth the investment or if I should keep looking for free resources or other payed ones. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Would this be a good step, or should I hold off? Would love to hear your thoughts!
Here's the link to their page https://culturefundingwatch.com/en/proposal-writing-workshop241024
Thanks in advance!
