Grace House – Editor

I am a former editor at Penguin Random House and project manager for a multi-platform entertainment brand specializing in middle grade and young adult content. Currently I am a production editor for a children's and young adult imprint, with a list including novels, new editions of classic titles, and graphic novels.

As an editor, I have worked on debut novels, long-running New York Times best-selling series such as Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls and the Booktown Mysteries, and everything in between. I’m always up for a story that makes me fall for its characters, no matter the genre, and love to read fresh perspectives on classic tales and tropes.

I’m excited to work with authors at all levels of experience. I see editing as a conversation on the page--one that involves emphasizing the moments in a manuscript that truly shine, but also flagging places that could use adjusting. I strive to provide constructive guidance and support so that the author can emerge from the editing experience with confidence in their work.

When I'm not editing, you can find me obsessing over BTS, One Direction, and Heartstopper. I love participating in and reading about fandom, and I am always thrilled to learn more about other people's obsessions. Current favorite reads are: I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey McQuiston, Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo, and The Ex Talk by Rachel Lynn Solomon.
