Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Chapter 18 Refusal of long-term appointment

After thinking about it again and again, Zella finally used his contacts to get Kevin’s contact number at the University of Edinburgh.

But she was holding the paper with Kevin’s phone number written on it, but she didn’t make the call. She is still struggling, still hesitating. One is face, the other is work, what should she do.

This beautiful woman, sweat began to come out of her forehead at this time. She knew in her heart that if she hesitated for too long, she would be better off by other publishers. (Of course, she didn’t know that Kevin’s “Jane Eyre” had been signed by the London Literature Press).

“Hey, are you Mr. Kevin?”

Finally, Zella got through Kevin’s phone number.

At this time, Kevin was in the London Literature Publishing House. After seeing an unfamiliar call, he answered it without thinking.

“Yes, who are you?” Kevin asked politely.

“Oh, hello, I am the editor of Dehai Publishing House, my name is Zela, we met, I believe you still remember.”

“Oh, it’s Zera editor. Very surprised, can you call me, may I have something to do?”

Kevin is not that kind of petty person, although he was very angry when Zella threw his manuscript into the trash can. But don’t we need such people to stimulate us in life so that we can become strong.

“That’s it. First of all, I congratulate you for winning this London Literary Competition. Second, I want to talk to you about signing the contract. Oh, I think your “Jane Eyre” I think, I can review it again. Or if you have other manuscripts in your hand, our publishing house can also talk to you.” Zella said below.

“Oh, and also, our publishing house can also sign a long-term publishing contract with you. Of course, as a newcomer, the price may not be very high, but our Dehai Publishing House is a well-known British publishing house. After signing a long-term contract, we will be confident that you will become a British best-selling author.” Zella continued.

“Really? But respectable editor Zella, I’m very sorry, I have signed a contract with the London Literary Publishing House for the publication of “Jane Eyre”. As for the so-called long-term publishing house contract, I don’t think I will have any publishing house. Signed.” Kevin said the truth.

“What? The London Literary Publishing House is really willing to sign a publishing contract with you? Their speed is so fast? It’s not long before you won the championship of this literary competition. They signed with you to publish? Means they didn’t see it. I signed your “Jane Eyre” after seeing it?” Zella said in a surprised tone.

“No, respectable editor Zela, you are wrong. They signed a publishing contract with me a few days ago.”

“What? They were willing to publish your “Jane Eyre” before you won the championship of this literary competition?”

“Yes, is there any problem with this? Dear editor Zela.”

“No, the London Literature Publishing House has already signed your “Jane Eyre”. I think you can consider signing a long-term contract with our publishing house, which means that all future works will be published by Dehai Publishing House. . What do you think? We can talk about the details in person.” Zella said.

“I’m very sorry, I just said that I will not sign a long-term contract with any publishing house. So thank you.” Kevin’s attitude remained.

If you are a newcomer, you can sign a long-term contract with the famous Dehai Publishing House, which is indeed a very good thing. Including the champions of previous literary competitions, they signed long-term contracts with some well-known publishing houses after the competition. Because after signing a long-term contract, it means that future works can be published no matter what. They can also stop worrying about publishing.

So, for a newcomer, such a good thing is usually not rejected. But Kevin is different. He has the memory of the works of British writers on earth, which are all classics. He doesn’t worry about publishing at all. Good works, in this literary country, are destined not to be buried.

“I don’t think you need to rush to make a decision, you can think about it, and then contact me. This is my phone number, you are welcome to call at any time.”

“I don’t think I need to think about it. What I am talking about now is my future decision. Oh, thank you for your appreciation. Bye.”

After speaking, Kevin hung up the phone.

Zela was very upset when she heard that Kevin refused her without hesitation.

“Huh! Isn’t you a champion? How can you say that you are also a newcomer, and you can sign a contract with our publishing house. What an author dreams of. Emotional will only ruin yourself.”

Zera has already called Kevin, no matter whether it is successful or not, at least she has an explanation for the above.

For Kevin’s refusal to cooperate with their publishing house, that was his loss. Zela just reported the situation to it.

After Kevin won the championship of this literary competition, the organizer, London Literature Publishing House, will hold a celebration banquet that night as usual. Of course, all players participating in the semi-finals can participate.

Enni also introduced Kevin to many current literary celebrities at the dinner, and these people also expressed their strong support for Kevin’s future works.

Especially Mr. Curry, when he announced the award list, he promised in front of many media people that no matter who this person is, he will try his best to help the champion’s future works and himself.

For a time, this night, everything seems to belong to Kevin, to this kid who loves literature.

This night, Kevin is the protagonist of his own life. This night, England, Scotland, and Great Britain have produced a literary genius, he is called Kevin.

Enni was always happy when she heard that Kevin had won the first place, because it proved that she did not misunderstand the wrong person. From seeing Kevin’s “The Rose of Love”, she has determined that the author has a lot to do. Today’s award is the best proof.

So happy, she naturally drank high tonight. After drinking red wine, the skin of this woman in her thirties became more ruddy. Under the light of the light, it was so beautiful and feminine.

Kevin helped Enni into her assistant’s car, and then they said goodbye to each other.

But at this time Kevin also felt sad, because it meant that he had to take a taxi back by himself. According to the previous arrangement, the publishing house had a vehicle to pick up the semi-finalists back, but because Kevin had to help Enni in the vehicle, he missed the pick-up vehicle.

Fortunately, taxis in the UK are not very expensive, and they usually cost just a few pounds. Their taxis are generally Austin-branded cars, mostly in black.

After Kevin returned to the hotel, he gently touched the champion’s trophy with both hands again.

“I want to be a writer.” The voice shouted in his heart again.

“Brother, don’t worry, you are a writer.” Kevin said confidently. (Please support papaya a lot. The papaya will send out the contract this week, and the status should be revised next week. Thank you for your support and wish you all the best. You will win the lottery tickets and the stocks will go up.)
