The Daily Grace Co. Mission
The Daily Grace Co. exists to equip disciples with biblically rich resources that bring the Word of God to the everyday moments of life. We are passionate about creating resources that are theologically sound, beautifully designed, and accessible to all who desire to know and love God's Word more deeply.
About the Role
The Daily Grace Co. is seeking an Assistant Acquisitions Editor to support the evaluation, development, and management of our book and Bible study acquisitions pipeline.

This position is ideal for someone early in their publishing career who demonstrates strong editorial judgment, theological discernment, and a desire to grow in acquisitions. The Acquisitions Editor Assistant will work closely with the Director of Acquisitions and cross-functional teams while gaining hands-on experience in proposal evaluation, market research, and early-stage development.
Ideal Candidate
You are detail-oriented, driven, and eager to learn the acquisitions process from the inside. You enjoy reading proposals, assessing ideas critically, and thinking about how theology, audience, and market fit together. You are organized, dependable, and comfortable managing multiple projects and author relationships.

  • Strong written communication skills and editorial discernment
  • Enjoys building meaningful relationships with literary agents and authors
  • Ability to evaluate content for theological soundness, clarity, and audience relevance
  • Familiarity with the Christian publishing landscape is a plus
  • Highly organized with strong attention to detail
  • Self-motivated and able to manage deadlines across multiple projects
  • Openness to learning publishing systems, workflows, and emerging tools (including AI-assisted research and evaluation tools)

Responsibilities
Proposal & Submission Review
  • Conduct initial and secondary reviews of incoming proposals and manuscripts
  • Complete proposal evaluation forms with thoughtful editorial, market, and theological feedback
  • Assist in determining which submissions advance through the acquisitions pipeline

Acquisitions Support
  • Support the acquisitions team members in preparing materials for editorial and strategic review
  • Assist with market research, comparable title analysis, and audience positioning
  • Help draft acquisition summaries and recommendations for leadership review
  • Assist with preparing and executing book publishing agreements

Author & Project Coordination
  • Meet with agents, authors, and other publishing industry professionals to network and solicit proposals
  • Track submissions, decisions, and project status within internal systems
  • Support early-stage development by suggesting and gathering feedback
  • Consistently communicate with current and potential authors
  • Prepare and send a monthly newsletter for current and potential authors

Process & Team Collaboration
  • Maintain organized records of proposals, contracts, and acquisition decisions
  • Contribute to improving acquisitions workflows and documentation
  • Participate in acquisitions, editorial, and cross-departmental meetings as needed
  • Other duties as assigned

Growth Opportunity
This role offers exposure to the full acquisitions lifecycle and is designed to grow with the needs of the department. As responsibilities expand, this position may evolve to include increased editorial input and acquisition ownership, depending on performance and organizational needs.
Benefits

    • Full insurance package including health, dental, vision, basic life, and disability
    • Paid time off - accrue three to five weeks annually based on tenure
