What It's Like to Live on an Editorial Assistant's Salary

Young writers hoping to get their start in fashion publishing often look towards editorial assistant positions to get their feet in the door. Although the job ideally combines a mix of writing and editing tasks with assisting a higher-up editor (or, often, the editor-in-chief), the actual reality is largely defined by the specific company’s culture. Put simply: these gigs are often heavy on the assistant front and low on the editorial portion. And, though they’re paid less than everyone else on the masthead, these ladies and gents tend to be doing the most arduous and time-consuming work.
