When Publishing's Prestige Couldn't Pay the Rent
What happens when you're living the dream everyone told you to chase, but you can barely afford groceries? At twenty-five, working as a literary assistant in Manhattan while living in Brooklyn, the gap between cultural capital and actual capital became impossible to ignore. Publishing felt like an industry perpetually on life support, squeezed by consolidation and the relentless dominance of one online superstore. Meanwhile, an e-book startup had just raised $3 million, and its three clean-cut founders radiated a confidence that felt alien to publishing's anxious halls. The assistant class whispered about whether there'd even be room for us as the industry contracted. Living on $30,000 in New York meant choosing between networking drinks and groceries, between the "right" wardrobe and rent. The older generation treated poverty wages as character-building, a necessary hazing ritual, while ordering salmon and rose at lunch. Borrowing money from parents to make rent felt like failure, even with the safety net of a debt-free education and one year left on their health insurance. When that e-book startup offered $20 an hour for nebulous work-some curation, some copywriting, some secretarial tasks-it felt like being valued for the first time. The founders actually asked for opinions and listened. That attention was intoxicating.
