合同撰稿人 - 一本关于酒店业的书
Contract Writer - A Book About Hospitality
位置：远程
职位概述
我们正在寻找一名合同作者，撰写一本以基督为中心、聚焦圣经中款待主题的书籍。在当今文化中，款待常被等同于Instagram上完美的招待、昂贵的菜单和完美的家居环境，该项目将重新找回那种激进的、以福音为驱动的款待精神，即像基督欢迎我们一样去欢迎他人。我们对这一资源的概念方向持开放态度，包括但不限于：
- 一本基础性的、探讨款待神学的书籍，探索接待陌生人的圣经与历史根源，引导读者从以表现为主的“招待”观念转变为以心为中心、牺牲式的款待，反映出上帝的心意。
- 一本高度实用的书籍，旨在打破常见的招待障碍，如空间狭小、预算紧张、生活忙碌、内向性格或对完美的追求。这本书将倡导“不华丽”的款待，展示如何以简单和优雅的方式敞开自己的生活和家门。
理想的项目将结合丰富的圣经神学与温暖的实践鼓励，使读者摆脱招待表现的焦虑，并激励他们培养欢迎他人的生活方式。
工作范围
- 进行研究、拟定大纲并撰写完整书稿（约45,000至75,000字）
- 与编辑团队密切合作，经过多轮修订
- 确保与The Daily Grace Co.的教义承诺保持一致

Position Overview
We are seeking a contract writer to develop and write a Christ-centered book focused on biblical hospitality. In a culture that often equates hospitality with Instagram-perfect entertaining, expensive menus, and impeccable homes, this project will reclaim the radical, gospel-driven heart of welcoming others as Christ has welcomed us. We are open to different conceptual directions for this resource, including, but not limited to:
- A foundational, theology-of-hospitality book that explores the biblical and historical roots of welcoming the stranger, moving the reader's paradigm from performance-based "entertaining" to heart-centered, sacrificial hospitality that reflects the heart of God.
- A highly practical book designed to dismantle the common barriers to hosting, such as small spaces, tight budgets, busy seasons of life, introversion, or the idol of perfectionism. This book would champion "unfancy" hospitality, showing how to open one's life and home with simplicity and grace.
The ideal project will combine rich biblical theology with warm, practical encouragement—freeing readers from the anxiety of hosting performance and inspiring them to cultivate a lifestyle of welcome.
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.
Why Publish with The Daily Grace Co.?
With over a decade of publishing experience, The Daily Grace Co. creates Christ-centered resources marked by theological depth, biblical faithfulness, and practical encouragement. We value thoughtful, faithful writers and partner closely from concept development through launch. Our goal is not simply to publish books—but to serve readers with resources that meet real needs and help them treasure Christ.
