Contract Writer - A Book For Women Experiencing Loneliness in Marriage

Location: RemotePosition Overview

There are women who are married—and yet profoundly lonely. From the outside, their lives may look stable, but inside the marriage, something feels broken.Many women in these spaces carry confusion, shame, grief, resentment, or quiet despair.


We are seeking a contract writer to serve women experiencing loneliness within marriage.

This is not a general book on marriage. It is not primarily about fixing a spouse or offering quick relational strategies. Instead, this book should thoughtfully address the spiritual, emotional, and theological challenges that arise when marriage feels isolating rather than intimate.

The strongest proposals will demonstrate how the book will meet the reader in her particular experience of marital loneliness, guiding her toward Christ’s sustaining grace.
