Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Chapter 46 Write a column (seeking a reward

Walter arrived at Dokalika Teahouse five minutes earlier than Kevin, and he had already booked a seat.

“Oh my god, you are much younger than in the picture. I can’t believe that those mature writing styles are from your immature looks.” Wall said in surprise.

“Thank you, Mr. Wall. Before this, many people said that.” Kevin said.

Yes, whether it’s Enni or Hudson, or LaVine. They will sigh like this when they see Kevin’s real person. After all, Kevin’s appearance is too far from his writing.

“Haha, this is not surprising. The article you wrote is more like an old man who has experienced life, such as “Contemplation on a Broom” and “On Hypothesis”.” Wall said.

After Wall finished speaking, he immediately called the waiter over, and then gave Kevin a menu for him to order whatever he liked.

British people drink morning tea, usually a pot of warm tea, and then eat some snacks, biscuits and French fries. After Kevin was born here, he has long been used to it. So he just ordered two snacks and biscuits casually, and gave the rest to Wall.

Wall’s purpose this time is only to meet Kevin, and the point is not to eat it. So he just ordered some randomly, and then handed it to the waiter to take it down.

About ten minutes or so, the waiter brought the two ordered items to the table.

“Kevin, have you ever thought about writing a manuscript with magazines or newspapers? It’s the kind of column writing?”

Wall said when everyone had almost eaten.

“I haven’t really thought about this, but if you can, this is also a good choice.” Kevin said.

Columnist, this title, Kevin, who has been on the street in his previous life, has naturally heard it countless times. He also imagined that one day he could become a columnist, and then write and write manuscripts every day, earning some high manuscript fees. But at that time, the manuscripts he wrote were not published in magazines or newspapers at all, not to mention that someone opened a column for him to write manuscripts.

Now listening to Wall’s reminder, he suddenly felt that this is also a good choice. After all, I have too many works of the British writers on earth in my mind, especially short prose poems and the like. These are all classics, and writing a random article can make people love it. Therefore, he does not want to waste.

“Really? So have you ever thought about writing a column in our Time Magazine? We can set up a column specifically for you? As long as you want.” Wall said.

This idea Wall thought about last night. Since the last time “On Hypocrisy” made the sales of “Time” soar, he felt that Kevin is a talented and marketable writer. If he can open a column in Time Magazine, it will be a good thing for Time Magazine. He believes that his colleagues will also support him.

“This one….”

Kevin did not expect Wall to suddenly make this move. His hesitation was not because he was afraid that he could not write well, but because he thought in his heart whether he should agree to Wall’s invitation.

Wall saw Kevin’s hesitation, and he immediately said: “Mr. Kevin can ask for anything. I think I will try my best to satisfy you? Is it the contribution fee? Don’t worry, I’ll definitely do it. Give you the highest treatment fee.”

“No, no, it’s not a question of the contribution fee. It’s just that I have a request.” Kevin explained.

“What’s the requirement? Mr. Kevin, please tell me. You know, we English don’t like roundabouts.” Wall asked.

“That is the article I wrote for the column. You can’t edit a single word. It must be published in accordance with my full text. If you can do it, I think I’m willing to write a column in your Time Magazine.” Kevin said To.

Kevin made this request because he was worried that the classic articles he wrote were changed beyond recognition by the other party’s editor, and that the charm of the article itself would be lost. You must know that these articles in the United Kingdom on the earth can withstand the test, and naturally there will not be too many faults.

“This is it?” Wall continued to ask.

“Yes it is,

only this one. As for the contribution fee, Mr. Wall, you can figure it out. I don’t think you will treat me too harshly. “Kevin said readily.

“That’s great. There is no problem with this. I can promise you that we will publish the original article without modifying a word of the article you wrote.” Wall said excitedly.

Since reading “Meditating on a Broom” and “On Hypothesis”, Wall has reason to believe that Kevin’s article can be done without modification at all. Therefore, he did not hesitate and immediately made a promise.

“Well, that’s good. I can write to you anytime.” Kevin said with a slight smile.

The idea of ​​Wall had been communicated with the leaders above before it came. Since the sales of these issues of “Times” have soared under Wall’s efforts, they have also fully respected Wall’s request for Kevin to write a column. This idea.

Kevin has agreed to this request from Wall, which makes him very happy. He thought that Kevin would hesitate for a few days or think for a while, but he didn’t expect things to go so smoothly. The joy on his face could not be suppressed.

“Thank you, dear Kevin, I think our column is called “Kevin talks about life”, how about?” Wall consulted.

“No, Mr. Wall, I think it’s too monotonous to simply talk about life. Can we call it ‘Kevin says things’?” Kevin thought for a while and then said.

“Kevin said something?”

“Yes, UU reading www.uukanshu.com talks about those things about love, those things about ideals, those things about life, those things about both sexes, and many things. Because I’m not sure. What type of articles are written in each issue, so that they can all be represented.” Kevin explained.

Wall heard it and thought it was pretty good, and it hit it off and decided to call it “Kevin Says Something”.

“Okay, then the name of this column is called’Kevin Says Something’. Haha.” Wall said with a smile.

According to the current publishing situation of Time Magazine, they only publish it once a week, which means that Kevin writes a manuscript for Time Magazine every week.

Of course, this is not difficult for him. As long as he has time, writing an article in an hour is not a problem. What’s more, it’s a week. The last two also agreed that the time for this column was half a year. If Kevin doesn’t want to write after half a year, he can make a decision anytime. Of course, if Time Magazine feels that there is no market for Kevin’s column after six months, it can also make a decision not to renew the contract with Kevin. At that time, both parties have the right to choose, which is good for both parties.

After the two reached a verbal agreement, Kevin also officially gained another identity, that is, a columnist. This is also an identity that has always been wanted, and now it has become so easy. This book has received support from many friends recently, which makes Papaya very moved and very happy. Thank you so much, it’s not easy for anyone in this era. So I really appreciate you guys. Although there are many shortcomings in this book, Papaya has been working hard to improve it. Really, I work very hard to write again. Thank you all. I wish you all the best.
