Novelist and critic Emily Gould joined NY1’s Errol Louis to talk about building a writing career and sustaining a creative life in New York City.
Gould recounted moving to New York in 2001 at 19 years old, starting in book publishing and being recruited as editor for the Gawker blog. She also discussed the economics of book advances and how child care and market rent make savings difficult despite steady work, and how Mayor Zohran Mamdani wants to help change that.
