We are seeking a contract writer to develop a theologically grounded book on prayer. This project should present a fresh, distinct approach - one that is rooted in Scripture, attentive to real-life challenges, and meaningfully different from existing books on prayer. Strong proposals will demonstrate a clear audience and articulate how this book meets a particular need with theological depth, practical clarity, and Christ-centered hope.
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
Compensation
Compensation is determined based on project scope and complexity.
