RE: templates for doc plans/statement of work/

["Lauren" <lt34 -at- csus -dot- edu>]

Hi Robert,

You can take a look at the web site of a frequent TechWr-L poster whose site
was partly plagiarized by Klariti according to some discussions last year.
I don't know if Klariti is still presenting the "borrowed" material.  The
poster's site is http://proposalwriter.com/.  Also, if you really like what
Ivan sells on Klariti, you can view the screenshots of his templates and
produce your own documents from those.  

There is really no value in buying a packaged template because you will
still need to produce a document that matches your client's needs.  What you
are looking for is an extensive inventory of templates.  There is not a
single source for templates of every kind, but there are templates online if
you look.  You can also get a few templates from http://www.microsoft.com/.

I imagine that there might be people who will sell you templates, but if you
are a writer, then you are better off producing the documents yourself.

Lauren
