Editorial Experience Across
Meet the Founder
Because Gold House was co-founded by a professional editor, we bring high editorial standards, writing expertise, and publishing industry knowledge to our publishing. Our founder Rebecca Jamieson is the editorial lead at Gold House.
With over a decade’s experience collaborating with fiction writers, Rebecca was an editor at HQ, an imprint of HarperCollins UK, and worked as a freelance editor, where her clients included HarperCollins, Bloomsbury, Hachette, bestselling self-published authors, and talented first-time writers. At leading London literary agency David Higham Associates, she evaluated manuscripts and provided editorial insight on submissions and client projects. In Los Angeles, she worked at Amazon Studios, evaluating script submissions and developing projects and series, including Fleabag, Transparent, and Catastrophe.
Gold House supplies this editorial and industry experience to our publishing. We focus on understanding which stories stand out, identifying where manuscripts can improve, and helping authors shape their books into experiences that readers will love.
Every Gold House book receives professional developmental, line, and copy editing, alongside expert proofreading, cover design, and packaging at no cost to the writer.
How We Work
Gold House is motivated and ambitious. Having a lean but driven team means more of a chance for writers to become involved and collaborate with our expert founders. It also means there is lots of room for growth as a Gold House author. We bring together experienced editorial guidance and strong commercial thinking, and we value the input of our authors at every step of the publishing process.
Headed by professional editor and co-founder, Rebecca, every manuscript receives hands-on editorial treatment. With a team of professionals, Rebecca works directly with authors throughout the editorial process, from structural editing to copy editing, from defining the best positioning for each book to final preparation for publication.
Gold House combines editorial expertise with disciplined commercial management. Along with the editorial side, we take care of marketing and advertising, ensuring each title receives the support it needs to reach readers. We want your book to sell and succeed, and we want to continue publishing your books.
Led by our co-founder Joe, who is a California CPA with over a decade of experience, Gold House brings a wealth of financial and business knowledge to our publishing. This means our business is set up for sound commercial operations, reliable royalty structures, and sustainable growth. Writers are in safe hands.
We work with carefully selected freelance professionals in cover design, formatting, proofreading, and other specialist areas. This allows us to bring the right expertise to every title and publish with the highest professional standards.
Our Commitments
A literary agent is not required to publish with Gold House. Neither is any professional writing experience. We accept submissions directly from authors who have written compelling commercial stories and have a full manuscript ready.
Authors work directly with Gold House founders throughout the publishing journey. You will have a real relationship with the people shaping and launching your book. We will be your biggest fans, rooting for you and your books to succeed.
From editorial development to production to cover design, we approach every book with the standards you would expect from a larger publisher, while also providing the individual support and personal attention that comes from working with a leaner professional team.
Gold House handles the editing, packaging, marketing, advertising, and publishing of your book. Authors are never charged any fees or asked to pay upfront to have their book edited or published.
Gold House wants to build lasting relationships with authors. We aim to help promising writers improve their craft, find readers, expand their audience, and build lifelong careers. Our goal is always to continue successfully publishing our authors for years to come.
We would love to read your work. Gold House is open to submissions from debut, self-published, and established authors. Unagented submissions welcome. Every submission is reviewed directly by our editorial team.
