Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Chapter 4 Post

After more than ten days of hard codewords, Kevin finally typed out all the words in “Jane Eyre”. He was very excited when he looked at the thick pile of manuscripts printed out.

“I want to be a writer here.” A voice yelled in Kevin’s heart.

Kevin spent a week’s living expenses printing out the manuscript, and planned to take it to the local Deyun for publication.

Dehai Publishing House is not only an outstanding publishing house in Edinburgh, but also one of the most prestigious publishing houses in the entire UK. All this is related to the publishing of many best-selling books in the UK in recent years. Augustine’s father’s book was a long-term contract with Dehai Publishing House.

In the entire publishing industry, when it comes to Dehai Publishing House, it is also well-known. Therefore, this is also the reason why Kevin chose to give him the manuscript as soon as possible.

The address of Dehai Publishing House is near Princes Street. Princes Street is the most prosperous street in Edinburgh. It is also the transportation hub of the entire city. Almost all bus routes pass through here.

Prince Street stretches straight, with the new city on one side and the old city on the other, spreading all the way to the foot of the castle. And it is also known as the “Best Street in the World”. It is connected to Calton Hill at the east end, and the hill is not high. It is the best place to overlook the city and the Edinburgh Castle in the distance. During the Edinburgh International Arts Festival, entertainers wearing traditional kilts play bagpipes in Princes Street Gardens from time to time.

Of course, the most famous thing about Princes Street is not these flowers, but the world-renowned Scottish clock, whose main structure is located underground. This clock was built in 1803, the minute hand is 2.4 meters long, the hour hand is 1.5 meters, the diameter of the clock face is 3.5 meters, the flower clock pattern is composed of 24,000 various flowers, and an azalea jumps out every 1 minute. It is said to be the largest and most unique flower clock in the world.

After Kevin was reborn here, he couldn’t help but sigh for the uniqueness of Zhong. If it were in China, such antiquities would have long since ceased to exist.

Kevin’s current location is still a bit far from Princes Street, so he can only choose to take a bus there. Although the UK is one of the most developed countries in the world, consumption is not particularly expensive. The bus pass for a day’s ride is usually £2.2.

After Kevin bought the £2.2 pass, he can take the bus anywhere in Edinburgh for a day. However, the current Kevin is not in the mood to play. When he arrived at Princes Street, he got out of the car. Then came to the door of Dehai Publishing House.

Kevin held the folder containing the “Jane Eyre” manuscript in his hand, feeling speechless. At this time, he could already imagine how surprised the editor of Dangdeyun Publishing saw the manuscript of “Jane Eyre”; he could have imagined that Dangdehai Publishing House put “Jane Eyre” in the library. How hot the market was at the time; he could have imagined that with “Jane Eyre” he was among the ranks of British writers.

But things didn’t go as smoothly as he thought. When he walked into the lobby of Dehai Publishing House, a young woman with blond hair came over.

“Hi, sir, who are you looking for?”

“Hello, honorable lady, I’m here to contribute. I have a work and I want to show it to your publishing house.” Kevin said politely.

Hearing that she was here to submit an article to the publishing house, the blond-haired girl looked at Kevin with a strange look. Although she could not find a trace of writer and literati’s breath from Kevin, this is Britain, a country that pays attention to politeness.

So the blond-haired girl was still talking to Kevin with a smile, but smiled, and there was still a tone of suspicion and sarcasm in her words.

The blonde-haired girl said: “Sir, are you sure you really came to contribute to us? You know, Dehai Publishing House is famous throughout Scotland and even the entire United Kingdom.”

The other party’s words are very clear. As one of the famous British publishing houses, Dehai Publishing House naturally requires high drafts. For a novice like Kevin, the probability of being selected is almost the same as the concept of being struck by lightning.

But Kevin, who has the memories of former writers, doesn’t think so. He believes that when the editors see the text of “Jane Eyre”, they will definitely sign the publishing rights of this book without hesitation. After all, “Jane Eyre” was very popular on the earth in the previous life.

Therefore, Kevin confidently said: “I know the reputation of Dehai Publishing House. But I have a very good manuscript in my hand, so I would like to trouble you to show it to your editors. Maybe they I will need it.”

At this time, in the editing room of Dehai Publishing House, in a ten-square-meter hut, a 32-year-old young woman is worrying about the publishing house’s goals.

“God, this is really a bad season, and I can’t find a good manuscript. How can I explain it to it.”

This young woman who is worrying is Zella, the editor of Dehai Publishing House. Zella’s daily task is to review manuscripts. As a well-known publishing house, Dehai Publishing House naturally has a set of management requirements, that is, one excellent work must be handed over in a quarter. But this season is about to pass two days away. Zella has not found a manuscript that can make Dehai Publishing House’s reputation. This is also the reason for her troubles at this time.

The weather was already hot, and when he was in a hurry, Khan began to slip off Zela’s forehead and cheeks.

Back in the reception lobby, after some request from Kevin, the blonde-haired girl finally agreed to help Kevin take the manuscript to Zella for review.

“Well, sir, please give me the manuscript, and I will help you to show it to the editor. She is the only one on duty today.” said the blond-haired girl.

“Okay, thank you. I think God will make you luck.” Kevin said wittily.

Zera’s door suddenly heard a knock on the door, she put down the pen in her hand, and said, “Please come in.”

The blonde-haired girl gently opened the door of Zela editor, and then saw the sweat on Zela’s forehead, and asked concerned: “Dear editor Zela, what’s the matter with you? If it’s too hot, you are completely You can turn on the air conditioner.”

“No, my heat wasn’t caused by the environment. It was something at work. It was a bad season.” Zella wiped the sweat from his forehead with a tissue at this time.

“Oh, what do you say?”

“You know, our company has a goal every quarter, that is, to have at least one well-known work, but there are still two days to pass this quarter. Up to now, I have read all the submissions. There is no excellent work. So, I’m tired of it.” Editor Zella said helplessly.

As the front desk clerk of Dehai Publishing House, the blonde-haired girl has naturally heard of the company’s goal. However, in the past, many writers contributed to Dehai Publishing House, and this goal has become very simple. I don’t know why, this quarter has become so difficult. Perhaps Zera’s editor’s requirements have become higher.

Speaking of the manuscript, the blond-haired girl remembered one thing, and then passed the manuscript she was holding to Zela’s editor’s desk and said with a smile: “Zera, someone came to our company with his manuscript just now. , Said it was submitted to our publishing house. Maybe you can take a look, maybe it will enable you to achieve your goals for this quarter.”

“The manuscript? Which writer did it belong to? Harden? No, Harden’s work was finished only a month ago. According to his habit, he has to write a work at least half a year after he finishes it. Is it Waiters? Right? , It should be Waiters, you must know that Waiters hasn’t written for half a year, and besides, he is used to bringing manuscripts to our company himself. Hurry up, I will go out and meet him in person.” After the news, there was finally a hint of surprise on his face. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

“No, no, editor Zela, you may be disappointed, the writer is not the great Waiters writer. If he had been, I would definitely call you personally.” The blonde-haired girl hurriedly explained.

“Oh, which writer is that?” Editor Zella looked at each other with curiously big eyes. His mysterious body looked very sexy.

“I’m a teenager, he looks like a student.”

Zera really seemed disappointed when he heard the news. I thought it would be a well-known writer who would submit articles, and then I could just solve the goal requirements for this quarter. But now that he heard that the other party was just a teenager, and possibly a student, there was no surprise on his face for a moment.

“Well, you put the manuscript here, maybe I will read it when I have time. However, a newcomer’s manuscript, it is far from reaching my goal for this quarter.” Zella editor said casually.

Zera is also one of the most famous editors in the publishing industry throughout the UK. His vision is also very unique. The works unearthed in the past few years have been selling well in various reading halls in the UK. Therefore, there are a lot of people who come to contribute to her every year, among them there are small well-known writers, and there are also unknown newcomers.

Zela has reviewed the works of countless newcomers, and the images given to her are immature or immature, and the article is also nothing new. So, for the newcomer’s work that the blonde girl said, she didn’t even return any hope.

“Okay, editor Zella. Then I’ll go out first.”

After finishing speaking, the blonde-haired girl turned around and gently closed Zela’s door, and then returned to the company lobby.
