In 1831, Edgar Allan Poe went to New York City where some of his poetry was published. He sent in several stories to magazines and they were all turned down. Poe wasn’t doing in great shape himself. He was in financial trouble and had no job and no one to back him up since he had no friends. He sent a letter to John Allan imploring for help but none came. John Allan died in 1834 and didn’t mention Poe at all in his will. In 1835, Poe won a contest with his story, "The Manuscript in a Bottle.” He finally got a job because of it. He was the editor for the //Southern Literary Messenger//. He was a great help to the newspaper’s circulation and increased it from 500 to 3500 copies. Even though he was great for the job, he decided to quit in 1836 because he claims it was a low salary. Edgar Allan Poe came out with his first volume of short stories, "Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque". It was published in 1839, but he received no money. During the next year, Poe joined George R. Graham as an editor for //Graham's Magazine//. He worked there for 2 years and during the time he published his first detective story, "The Murders in the Rue Morgue." Again with raising circulation of magazines, this time it increased from 5000 to 35,000 copies. Poe felt that he had a great future in magazines, so he quit from Graham’s and decided to start his own. He called it //The Stylist,// but it failed. He wasn’t making enough money to support his family. In 1845, Poe became and editor at //The Broadway Journal//, but a year later the company went bankrupt and he lost his job.
