FINAL TOUCHES … COMPLETING YOUR
SUCCESFUL PROPOSAL

According to Hacker, the writer of “A Writer’s Reference”, before distribute your proposal you may consider some final editions.

* Revise
In this part make sure that you have said what you wanted to say with a clear organization and correct style. Verify that you are using the correct style for your audience. For example, on your business proposal, you may want to write it in a formal style and impersonal high style.Check if your purpose is clearly explained, for that you should answer:

Make sure that your ideas are linking clearly. Readers expect to learn a paragraph’s main point in a topic sentence early in the paragraph. Then as they move into the paragraph they expect to encounter specific facts, details or examples that support the topic sentence. Also, adjust paragraphs length; most readers feel comfortable reading paragraphs that range between one hundred and two hundred words. Shorter paragraphs force too much starting and stooping, and longer ones stain the reader’s attention span.

* Produce
Writers often incorporate visual element to their proposals, such as charts, tables, graphs, and flowcharts to illustrate what is at stake in a proposal. Images also can help readers visualize solutions or proposals and make those ideas attractive.
Figure out what has to happen to meet your goal: where new resources will come from, how personnel can be recruited and hired, where manuals will be printed, and so on. Also you may want to provide a time table, so your audience will be able to see that you have perfect establish your goals and how long would them take.

Oshima and Houge, authors of “Writing Academic English”, say that these questions may help you to know if you are in the right way writing your proposal.

Be certain you treat your subject intelligently and thoroughly and have included all the parts required (these requirements obviously vary from proposal to proposal)

* Proofread
Errors might don’t bother you, but do not assume that other readers are just as easygoing.
Oshima and Houge (2006) explained that how you revise your work is a different matter. Some people edit line by line, perfecting every sentence before moving to the next. Others write whole drafts quickly and then revise, and others combine these methods. Do not forget to check your spelling, and punctuation it might be an important point to take seriously your proposal.
With major problems, as a proposal is, consider revising and editing sequentially, starting with the big issues like content and organization. Think of revising as making sweeping changes, and editing as finessing the details. Here are some tips to proofread your proposal:

After complete this revision, you are ready to distribute your proposal.
