Contract Writer - A Daily Devotional for Men

Contract Writer Needed Location: Remote We are seeking a contract writer to develop a Christ-centered daily devotional for men that can be completed in just a few minutes each day. Each entry should provide practical encouragement, Scripture reflection, and a brief, actionable takeaway that helps men apply God's Word to their daily lives. The strongest proposals will clearly define the reader, their challenges, and show how the devotional equips them to grow their knowledge and love for God and His Word—even in small daily moments. 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.
