ahhhhh i did it!!!! (positive update)
in december 2025 i posted sharing that i hadnt been selected for an assistant role at the imprint where i was interning and that i was feeling super bummed and sad about it. everyone offered me really lovely, kind advice and told me to keep striving and keep pushing forward and i am so thrilled to say that it paid off! i'm roughly five months into my first full-time job in publishing (same company, different imprint) and i could NOT be happier. i genuinely can't believe i'm finally here but AHHHHH!!!! thank you all for your support when i needed it most!
(side note: i met the person who got the december job over me. she is lovely and we're actually friends now lol--plus her role is a lot more administrative and i get to really dig into the meat and potatoes of my department, which i'm very grateful for)
