Position Overview
We are seeking a contract writer to develop and write a Christ-centered book designed to encourage and equip homeschooling mothers. We are open to different conceptual directions for this resource, including, but not limited to:
- A general book that offers gospel-centered encouragement, biblical perspective, and grace for the daily rhythms, unique pressures, and beautiful joys of the homeschooling lifestyle.
- A targeted book that explores a specific issue or pain point homeschooling mothers face, such as combating burnout and exhaustion, balancing homeschooling with working or homemaking, schooling children with diverse learning needs, or transitioning from school parent to homeschool parent.
The ideal project will weave rich personal narrative and biblical reflection with empathy and practical application to help homeschool mothers anchor their identity, worth, and daily labor securely in Christ.
Scope of Work
