Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Chapter 19 Contribution fee advance

It was eight or nine o’clock the next day when Kevin woke up. The sun in London at this time is different from that in Edinburgh. The sun in Edinburgh is softer and more comfortable at this time, while the sun in London is more violent and passionate.

After finishing washing, Kevin is about to go to the hotel to have some breakfast, and then come back to pack his luggage. Now that the rematch is over, he should also go back to Edinburgh.

But at this time his phone rang, and it was the editor-in-chief Enni calling. The editor-in-chief Enni asked Kevin to visit the London publishing house after breakfast, and there was something to discuss.

Kevin thought it was the publication of “Jane Eyre”, so he didn’t dare to delay. After breakfast, he immediately drove to the London Literature Publishing House.

“Kevin, you are finally here, please take a seat.” Editor Enni smiled after seeing Kevin’s arrival.

“What’s wrong? Editor-in-chief Enni seems to be in a better mood today.” Kevin said.

“Well, I came to you today for two things. First, your “Jane Eyre” plans to go on sale next Monday, and this afternoon, our colleagues will go to the film and television company to recommend your work.”

“What about the second thing?” Kevin asked curiously.

“The second thing is about your packaging. As the champion of the London Literary Contest, our reward is to package you in all directions and make you a best-selling British author. Of course, with your current strength, it is actually not very useful. It’s packed. It’s just a little bit of operation.” Enni continued.

Packing? Kevin was very familiar with this word when he was on the earth in his previous life, but at that time, as an Internet writer, there was no publishing house willing to publish his novels, let alone packaging him.

Now that I heard that I was about to be “wrapped”, I was also very happy in my heart. .

“Really? Thank you so much, editor-in-chief Enni I respect.”

“You don’t need to thank me, but if you want to thank you, thank you for those very perverted talents. Oh, do you have Twitter? We mean to let you communicate with fans more on Twitter, maybe it will make you The popularity is more stable.” Enni asked the editor-in-chief.

“I’m very sorry, in Edinburgh, I don’t have a computer that can connect to the Internet, so I stopped playing Twitter.”

Yes, although Kevin’s house has a second-hand computer, it can’t connect to the Internet. On weekdays, he just uses this second-hand computer to play single-player games or type.

“Oh, let’s do it, I will pay you an advance payment of 50,000 pounds in advance. You will buy a better computer at that time, and then register for a Twitter. Remember, this thing must be fast, because you just got it. The champion of this literary competition, the discussion about you on Twitter is not over yet. If you sign up for Twitter at this time, your fans will increase a lot.” Enni reminded the editor in chief.

Entering this era, the Internet has become an indispensable thing in this world. Kevin naturally knows the benefits of the Internet. Therefore, there is no need for the editor-in-chief Enni to say that if he has the financial means, he will not hesitate to buy a brand new computer.

The advance payment of the manuscript fee is not easy in the UK, and it usually happens to famous masterpieces. But Enni liked Kevin’s talent and sympathized with the child born in this poor family. Therefore, he made an exception and gave him an advance of 50,000 yuan in manuscript fees.

“Well, yes, the registration will be done then, I will tell you.”

“That’s good. I have shown some of your “Jane Eyre” to Curry and others. They will help you promote it on Twitter before it goes on sale. After you sign up for Twitter , And pay attention to their Twitter for the first time.” Enni editor-in-chief continued to remind.

Kevin nodded sincerely. As I said before, Curry and others are all famous British writers in this parallel world. With their support and help, this is naturally a good thing. Kevin also knows how to be grateful.

After the editor-in-chief Enni explained the matter clearly, he really gave Kevin an advance payment of 50,000 pounds. This makes Kevin very happy. Whether it was before or after rebirth, it was the first time that he had so much money in his hand, and it felt so wonderful. He liked this feeling of taking big money more and more.

“When I become a great writer, all this will become commonplace.” Kevin thought in his heart.

Kevin just walked out of the London Literature Publishing House, and the phone rang again.

“Who would call me? Could it be that the editor-in-chief Enni forgot to say something?”

Kevin took out his cell phone, only to find that it was an unfamiliar phone number.

“Hello, hello, are you Mr. Kevin? Oh, I am glad to talk to you. I am the editor of Time Magazine, and I want to talk to you about the publication of your semi-final works. I don’t know Kevin. Is it convenient for sir?”

The person who called was Wall, the editor of Time. Wall was an old editor in his fifties. He devoted almost all of his life’s work to Time.

“Times Weekly” is a literary publication, and it has a certain reputation in the literary world, and many famous works are also published here. The reason they called Kevin this time was because they had taken a fancy to Kevin’s work written during the rematch-“Meditations on a Broomstick”.

Wall jumped up excitedly after watching it the first time, and deeply sighed the author’s imagination. Therefore, he decided to publish this work in Time Magazine.

No, after getting Kevin’s contact information through his contacts, he immediately called.

“What? You mean to publish my “Missing on a Broom”?” Kevin asked.

“Of course, such a prose full of philosophy of life, how could we “Time” miss it. Oh, do you still have the publishing copyright of your “Contemplation on a Broom”?” Wall asked sensibly.

As an old editor, Wall knows it well. The champion of the London Literary Contest, coupled with such an excellent prose, will certainly have many people rushing to publish it. So, in order not to cause copyright conflicts, he must ask clearly.

“No, the publishing copyright is still in my hands.” Kevin said.

“That’s good, we are willing to give you five thousand pounds as a remuneration, as long as you agree to publish “Contemplation on a Broom” in our “Time”.” Wall said happily.

Five thousand pounds? Kevin never expected that the cost of this parallel world would be so high. A short essay can get five thousand pounds. This is a great thing.

“Of course, thank you very much for your appreciation. Based on this, I am willing to publish “Contemplation on a Broom” in your literary journal.” Kevin replied.

“That’s great. This is also great news for us. Oh, please don’t worry, Mr. Kevin, we will have a staff member contact you and send you the remuneration.”

Wall’s face was full of excitement at this time. What he thought in his mind was that the sales of this issue of literary publications were going to soar again.

The title of the 7th London Literary Contest. The work completed in ten minutes is called a genius writer. Once the news was released, the sales of Time Magazine were at least several times higher than usual. After all, in this literary country, no one will not be full of curiosity about such works.

Two happy events were harvested early in the morning, which made Kevin very happy. He decided to buy a brand new computer now. In this way, it will be much easier to write down the works in my mind in the future. And there is no need to take the USB flash drive to the print shop to print, just a simple email to get it done.
