Dear Artist,

Here’s the quiet truth no one tells you:

You might not win. Not this year.

But the real question is: Will the work and fee for working with me on this application be wasted?

Absolutely not.

Ask Julia Trudeck. She didn’t win the Guggenheim, but reused her application to win a state grant. Ask the artist (name withheld) who applied four times before winning.

You’re not just applying for this grant. You’re crafting a core package—your career narrative, your statement of plans, your selected works—that can be repurposed again and again.

When we work together, I help you build an adaptable foundation for all future applications.

Even if you don’t win this one, you’ll have:

• A concise, powerful application you can use elsewhere.
   
• A clarified understanding of your own work.
   
• And if you try again next year, you’ll be ahead of everyone just starting.
  
   

Only 3 spots left.

I want to help you do this well. Let’s make this year the one you send in something unforgettable.

Reply now if you’re ready to get started and want to know my fee and process.

Warmly,

Brainard Carey
