The problems I write about here are “struggles” many people would love tohave. Now, I want to acknowledge the inherent privilege that I hold as a white, educated, middleclassAmerican.
One of the most respected publishing houses in the world gave me$100,000 to write two books, one of which was already finished, and I was feeling… well,fancy.As a kid who’d once stood in line with her mother to get food stamps, I could not believe thefigures in my bank account. Iwould have set a foundation for a healthy life as an artist, laying the groundwork to thrive inuncertainty, to avoid desperation, panic, and bad decisions that would affect me for years tocome.How would my life be different if a fellow writer or someone in the industry had told me thatthe money I’d be receiving for my advances was absolutely no indication of what I couldmake on future book deals? What pain could I have avoided if they had advised me not tospend that money as though there would be more where that came from? I suspect I mayhave avoided a near nervous breakdown and not come so perilously close to financial ruinand creative burnout. Claire must fight to holdon to her sanity and find out what really happened on the Aurora before she and her crew meet thesame ghastly fate.=As a young writer, my naiveté about the publishing process nearly led me to financial ruin.Here’s how to avoid my mistakes.The first thing I tell debut authors is this: Assume nothing.If just one person had sat me down when I signed my first book contract and explained howpublishing works, how nothing is guaranteed, and how it often feels like playing RussianRoulette with words, I would have made much sounder financial and creative decisions. But a quick search of the ship reveals something isn’t right.Whispers in the dark. A salvage claim like this could set Claire and hercrew up for life.
