Position Overview

We are seeking a contract writer to develop and write a Christ-centered resource focused on guiding women who want to pray more consistently for their husband and marriage. We are open to various formats and approaches for this project, including, but not limited to:

• A narrative-driven book in which a wife tells her own story of growing in prayer for her husband and shares biblical reflections to help other wives do the same.
• A structured devotional (e.g., a 90- or 180-day format) that pairs daily Scripture readings and brief reflections with specific prayers for a husband’s life, work, faith, and character.
• A book with concise chapters and a practical guide that balances brief biblical teaching with actionable prayer prompts that women can easily integrate into their daily routines.

The ideal project will move beyond superficial "fix-my-husband" prayers, anchoring itself instead in Scripture, sacrificial love, and entrusting their husband to our faithful God.

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.
