Free in California: Spanish-Language Proposal Writing Guide

We are pleased to announce that, thanks to generous support from The James Irvine Foundation, we are distributing free copies of the new edition of our Spanish-language title, Guía para escribir propuestas (Guide to Proposal Writing), throughout the state of California. The Guía delivers comprehensive instruction on both the basics and the finer points of this crucial skill. Local residents interested in receiving a free copy of the Guía should visit us at 312 Sutter St. in downtown San Francisco to pick up a copy, while supplies last. California residents located outside the Bay Area can refer to a list of participating libraries around the state. We also offer a free, Spanish-language online short course.
