Contract Writer - A Book For Women Navigating Pregnancy

We are seeking a contract writer to develop and write a Christ-centered book designed for women navigating the unique season of pregnancy. We are open to different conceptual directions for this resource, including, but not limited to:

• A general book for navigating the beautifully joyful, deeply transitional, and physically exhausting season of pregnancy through the lens of the gospel.

• A targeted book that addresses specific emotional or spiritual challenges that often arise during pregnancy, such as anxiety and fear, body image in pregnancy, navigating pregnancy after a previous loss, or preparing for labor and delivery.

The ideal project will combine in-depth theology with deep empathy, meeting expectant mothers right where they are with the comforting truths of God's Word.

• 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

Provide a concise overview of the book's purpose, scope, structure, and tone.
