Why Gold House Publishing?
A Creative Collaboration. A Professional Experience.
- Expert book editing
- Independent publishing
- No agent required
Having your book professionally published should not require a literary agent, a large budget, or many years of your time. Gold House wants to offer writers a chance to find the perfect publishing home for their books without these barriers and without the only two options seeming like self-publishing or traditional publishing. We believe that outstanding writers deserve to access quality editing and author support. At Gold House, we combine the exceptional editorial standards and professional experience of traditional publishing with the author-friendly, collaborative environment of independent publishing.

Three ways to publish
- Option 01
Traditional Publishing
Prestige but with a long road to get there.
Traditional publishing typically means navigating a highly competitive submission process to hopefully secure a literary agent and waiting months, or longer, for a decision. Then, if successful, it can take years until publication. Authors can face long timelines and feel lost in a large corporate environment.
- Option 02
Self-Publishing
Total control, but you are on your own.
Self-publishing means everything is in your hands, but this includes all the expenses and admin. Self-published authors are either left to do everything themselves or must find and manage freelance editors, proofreaders, designers, and marketers, which can be expensive, time consuming, and overwhelming. Learning the self-publishing process, supervising freelancers, and promoting your books takes precious time away from writing.
