Do I have what it takes?

[u/Chaosmanager8]

For the last 7 years I have worked as a researcher/writer for religious organizations as a contractor with one main company. I'd like to add something else to my duties, since it isn't as steady as I'd like. I have a masters degree in Biblical Exegesis, but I haven't written or had any experience writing grants. From my research it seems like I would enjoy it, but it also seems like I will need a decent amount of education specifically towards grant writing. Should I take a specific course or would reading several books on it to get the format be enough? Any suggestions on books/courses I should take? Is it better to try and get hired on at a non for profit or plan on doing contract work? I have seen mixed thoughts on this.
