SUBMISSIONS
Gilded Press is passionate about authors who are often overlooked by other publishers, and we take pride in our collaborative approach to edits, cover design, and marketing. We publish fiction and nonfiction for all ages
We currently accept submissions by referral only.
​
Here's the thing: not everyone gets in. And that's actually a good thing for you.
Every project we take on gets our full attention, our full energy, and everything we've got. That only works when we're selective. So yes, the door is a little harder to open — but once you're through it, you'll understand why.
​​
If someone in our world knows your work and believes in you enough to put their name behind you, that's your way in. Think of it as a golden ticket. Earned, not given.
When we read, we read exclusively. No multiples. No auctions. No waiting to see who blinks first. When we fall in love with a project we move. Right then. We want to be the ones fighting in your corner from the very first yes.
If your work is already out on submission, sit tight. Finish that round. Then come find us.
The authors we work with aren't just clients. They're collaborators. They're the ones we lose sleep over (in the best possible way) because we believe in what they're building that much.
​
So if you've got the referral and you're ready to go all in? Let's talk.
