I have eight years of experience in proposal writing and development, including the last two as a contractor. I spent more than six years as a proposal writer/editor with the nation's largest medical transportation company, so I am especially well-versed with healthcare proposals, with many of those being for Federal contracts. My writing career began more than 15 years ago as a high school English teacher. I later entered journalism, working as a section editor, reporter, copy editor and page designer. My expertise in proposals spans the entire process, from managing the kickoff call to final edits and production. Please see recommendations at www.linkedin.com/in/erictd.
