🗣 I HAVE TO SHARE A HEARTFELT WIN RIGHT NOW ‼️

🥹 So, shortly after leaving the domestic violence shelter a few years ago with my daughter, pregnant with my son, I was about 6 months in as a business owner.

I started my business doing anything literature or writing focused before finding my niche in proposals.

I began editing this novel for a client in Australia throughout my pregnancy, still battling my own PTSD from the domestic abuse I experienced for 10 years.

Now, holding this book with my name in the cover reminds me of the journey. My heart is melting right now, and Im reminded how far The Most High has brought me and how much more growth there is ahead ✨️

🗣 GOVERNMENT CONTRACTING ISN'T JUST WRITING STRONG PROPOSALS...

It’s about building stronger systems and stronger communities.

That’s why we created Proposal Power Friday, the only community-driven YouTube series helping small businesses and mission-driven organizations:

✅ Build systems that win proposals
✅ Strengthen connections that sustain success
✅ Transform reactive bidding into strategic, repeatable wins

Hosted by Marlowe Boyd, Founder of The Crafted Pen, each episode blends real-world strategy with live engagement — giving entrepreneurs the tools, insights, and relationships they need to thrive in the government contracting space.

🎯 Systems that Win Proposals. Stories that Build Confidence. Strategies that Create Impact. A Community that Connects.

✔️ Too often, we scramble when a Grant or Contracting Opportunity drops — piecing together documents, rushing a proposal, and hoping it sticks.

🫣 The truth? By that point, it’s already too late....

🏆 Winning organizations are the ones who stay RFP Ready all year long — with their documents, budgets, and narratives already aligned.

That’s the gap The Crafted Pen™ was created to close.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be unveiling how our ICANN Framework™ helps small & mid-sized companies, EVEN SOLOPRENEURS, bring clarity, consistency, and confidence to their contracting and proposal process.

Stay tuned — the new era of readiness is coming.

🗣 I NEVER SET OUT TO BUILD A PROPOSAL SYSTEM COMPANY ‼️It found me 😌
(The Story Behind The Crafted Pen™)

When I first started helping organizations apply for CONTRACTS and GRANTS, I thought the key was writing skill ✍️🏾

BUT... the more projects I managed, the more I realized the real problem wasn’t writing — it was readiness!

I watched incredible teams lose out on funding because of missing documents, disorganized reporting, or unclear systems.

So I built my own framework — tested it, refined it, and proved it works on real, federally funded projects.

🥳 That framework became The ICANN Framework™.
And now, I’m bringing it to businesses everywhere.

In the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing how we help companies move from chaos to contracts, with Systems that Win Proposals ‼️
