Contract Writer - A Bible Study on Marriage

Location: Remote

Position Overview

We are seeking a contract writer to develop a rich, Christ-rooted Bible study on marriage.

Rather than relying on marital clichés or surface-level conflict tactics, this study will show how Christian marriage is fundamentally anchored in the person, work, and union of Jesus Christ with His Church.

The ideal project will combine substantive biblical exposition with practical, hopeful, and transformational application for any couple—from newlyweds to long-term spouses—desiring to understand and live out a Christ-centered marriage.

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.
