Contract Writer - A Book About Bible Study For A Distracted Generation
Location: Remote Position Overview Many readers today are shaped by constant scrolling—formed by short content, endless distraction, and fragmented attention. While they may long to study Scripture deeply, sustained focus and meaningful engagement can feel increasingly difficult. We are seeking a contract writer to serve the “scroll generation” with a book that invites readers into thoughtful, structured, and theologically rich Bible study. This project should address the spiritual and cognitive challenges of digital formation while offering practical pathways toward deeper attentiveness to God’s Word. 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.?
