Job Description

Contract Writer Needed Location: Remote Position Overview We are seeking a contract writer to develop and write a Christ-centered book focused on body image in an aesthetics-obsessed culture. Modern women are inundated with messaging that equates their worth and identity with their physical appearance, youthfulness, or ability to conform to ever-shifting cultural beauty standards. Whether wrestling with postpartum body changes, the physical realities of aging, disordered eating patterns, or chronic comparison, many women live trapped between the extremes of body worship and body shame. This project will offer a grace-filled, biblically grounded alternative: a theology of the body that frees women from mirror-fixation, honors God's design for the physical self, and re-anchors identity in the gospel of Jesus Christ. 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. Our goal is not simply to publish books—but to serve readers with resources that meet real needs and help them treasure Christ.
