Contract Writer - Theology of Home Book
Location: Remote Position Overview Home shapes our daily lives, yet many people lack a clear biblical vision for what it is meant to be. We are seeking a contract writer to create a book on a theology of home that thoughtfully integrates photography or other visual elements. This project should explore the theology of home without prescribing certain domestic roles, schooling models, or cultural mindsets. This book should present a distinctly Christ-centered vision of home for a variety of life stages and circumstances. Scope of Work
- Research, outline, and write a full-length manuscript (approximately 45,000–75,000 words)
- Collaborate closely with the editorial team through multiple rounds of revision
- Ensure theological alignment with The Daily Grace Co.’s doctrinal commitment
Commitment Contract, per-project basis.
Compensation
Compensation is determined based on project scope and complexity. Additional Information Contractors are engaged based on the needs of specific projects and are not guaranteed ongoing or full-time work. Participation in meetings, workshops, or collaborative sessions may be requested depending on the project timeline. Why Publish with The Daily Grace Co.? With over a decade of publishing experience, The Daily Grace Co. creates Christ-centered resources marked by theological depth, biblical faithfulness, and practical encouragement. We value thoughtful, faithful writers and partner closely from concept development through launch.
