In 1929, Faulkner married Estelle Oldham, with Andrew Kuhn serving as best man at the wedding. Estelle brought with her two children from her previous marriage to [[Cornell Franklin]] and Faulkner hoped to support his new family as a writer. Faulkner and Estelle later had a daughter, Jill, in 1933. He began writing ''[[As I Lay Dying]]'' in 1929 while working night shifts at the [[University of Mississippi Power House]]. The novel was published in 1930.<ref name="1parini">[[#Parini|Parini (2004)]], p. 142.</ref>

Beginning in 1930, Faulkner sent some of his short stories to various national magazines. Several of these were published and brought him enough income to buy a house in Oxford for his family, which he named [[Rowan Oak]].<ref name="Williamson, Joel 1993">Williamson, Joel.
