• Job Description

  Req#: 134

  Location: Remote

  
  

  Position Overview:
  Some seasons of life feel like endless waiting—prayers unanswered, doors unopened, circumstances unresolved. Readers in these spaces often wrestle with doubt, restlessness, or a sense of being stuck.
  

  
  
  

  We are seeking a contract writer to help people navigate prolonged waiting with honesty, hope, and theological depth. We are not looking for a book that retells familiar encouragement or a survey of people who waited in Scripture.
  
  
  

  Scope of Work:

  • Research, outline, and write a full-length manuscript (50,000–75,000 words) on waiting 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.
