• Job Description

  Req#: 130

  Location: Remote

  
  

  Position Overview:
  Many people live under the relentless pressure to get everything right—to perform well, appear put together, and avoid mistakes at all costs. Perfectionism often disguises itself as diligence or high standards, yet beneath it can lie fear of failure, desire for approval, or a fragile sense of worth. We are seeking a contract writer to serve readers who feel trapped by these expectations, helping them examine the spiritual roots of perfectionism with honesty and theological clarity. This book should offer more than reassurance, guiding readers toward a gospel-grounded understanding of identity, obedience, and freedom from self-imposed standards. The ideal contract writer has education and experience in psychology or counseling.

  
  

  Scope of Work:

  • Research, outline, and write a full-length manuscript (50,000–75,000 word book) on perfectionism from a biblical perspective
    
  • Collaborate with the editorial team for feedback and revisions
  • Ensure theological alignment with The Daily Grace Co.’s doctrinal commitments

  
  

  Commitment: Contract, per-project basis

  
  

  Compensation: Determined per project scope

  
  

  Additional Information:
  Contractors are engaged based on the needs of specific projects and are not guaranteed ongoing or full-time work. Participation in team meetings, workshops, and collaborative sessions may be requested based on project type and timeline.
