Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Chapter 51 Enni’s wit (please give me a reward

After Kevin returned to the Sykes Hotel, he planned to pack his things and return to Edinburgh. He ordered the plane at four o’clock in the afternoon. According to the time, it was just after five o’clock when I returned to Edinburgh. You can also have a dinner with your family.

But while he was packing up, Enni called him. Enni only learned that he hadn’t left London after seeing Kevin’s tweet last night.

“Hi, Enni, hello.” Kevin pressed the answer button.

“Kevin, you haven’t left London yet, have you?”

“Yes, I plan to go back this afternoon. Is there anything else?” Kevin asked.

“Oh, do you have time to come over to the London Literature Publishing House?” Enni asked, the editor-in-chief.

“I booked a plane for more than four o’clock in the afternoon. I can still have free time. Okay, I’ll go there later.”

Kevin didn’t know what Enni asked herself to go to the London Literature Publishing House, but the London Literature Agency was kind to him. After all, I won the champion of the literary competition here and published the first novel of my life here.

Therefore, Kevin also respects Enni or the London Literature Publishing House.

Kevin put down his luggage, then got out of the car and took a taxi directly to the London Literature Publishing House. Since I have been here several times, I am familiar with it.

After the editor-in-chief Enni introduced Kevin into her office, he asked the assistant to get her a pot of tea. This woman in her thirties is wearing a mermaid dress today, like a charming mermaid. Kevin couldn’t bear to look more after he came in.

“Dear Editor-in-Chief Enni, is there anything important for you to come to me?” Kevin moistened his throat with tea and asked directly.

“In fact, it is not a very important thing. But it is also related to you. I saw you post on Twitter last night. Did you sign a column with Time Magazine?” Enni asked.

“Yes, Wall came to me. They meant that I should write a column in Time Magazine. Wall once encouraged me. Out of this relationship, I agreed.” Kevin replied.

“Well, this is enough to see that you are a person with a lot of personality, and I like such a person. It is also a good thing to be a columnist for Time Magazine so quickly. You must know that many people write in magazines. No one in their entire life wants to help them open a column.” The editor-in-chief Enni praised.

In fact, the English literature world is indeed as Enni said, not everyone can write columns in magazines or newspapers. Because of the importance of literature in this country, there are a lot of people who write articles, and there are even more talents among them. With more talents, competition will naturally increase. Therefore, many newspapers and magazines will choose to find well-known writers to open columns.

Kevin has only entered the literary world less than three months before he has won a columnist, which is indeed a record-breaking. Otherwise, Bogut would not be jealous.

“Thank you, I also think that God takes care of me too much. Oh, are you looking for me to be related to this matter?” Kevin asked.

“No, it’s not. It’s your choice, I have no right to interfere with you. I came to you today to talk to you about the next work. I wanted to ask you what you meant that night, but There are too many people, it’s not very convenient.” Enni editor-in-chief said.

“Thank you for your concern, my next work is already in progress, and I think this book will not be worse than “Jane Eyre”.” Kevin said.

“Well, this is one of the reasons why I am looking for you. You are the champion of the seventh literary competition. According to previous champions, many publishing houses will choose to sign a long-term publishing contract with him. I don’t know if you are now with other publishers. Has the agency signed this contract?”

“No, but Dehai Publishing House and several other publishing houses also called me and wanted to sign a contract with me. But I refused. Sorry, editor-in-chief Enni, I don’t want to sign a long-term contract with any publishing house. Contract. I hate that kind of rules and regulations, it will directly limit my imagination.” Kevin said.

Enni, the editor-in-chief, originally planned to ask Kevin if he wanted to sign a long-term contract with the London Literature Publishing House. Now that she heard him say this, she had no choice but to dispel this idea. However, she respects Kevin’s choice, after all, everyone has everyone’s choice.

“Then what is your next work? Can it be published in our London Literary Publishing House?” The editor-in-chief Enni said cleverly.

Yes, Kevin is unwilling to sign a long-term contract with the publishing house, so it’s OK to get the publishing contract in advance before he finishes writing it. Besides, because of his own relationship, maybe Kevin won’t refuse. And one of the reasons why Kevin did not sign long-term contracts with other publishers may be the issue of manuscript fees. Dunlun Literature Publishing House has the ability to give Kevin all the bargaining chips he wants, so Enni is also confident that he can sign every work written by Kevin.

Kevin has not yet found a publishing house that is more suitable for him than the London Literature Publishing House, so he does not reject the signing of “Wuthering Heights” with Dunlun Literature Publishing House.

So, Kevin said, “It’s not a problem to publish to the London Literary Society, but this time I choose to share the income, can I?”

If “Jane Eyre” had chosen to share it with the publishing house , it would definitely be more than £200,000. But Kevin was a newcomer at the time, and it would be good to be able to publish. So I didn’t pursue too much. Now that he has the basis of “Jane Eyre”, he can completely ask for the share.

It turns out that Enni did not refuse this request. After all, the sales of “Jane Eyre” made her highly praised by her boss in the company, and “Jane Eyre” also made the company a lot of benefits.

“This is of course no problem, we can give you an 8% share. As for other copyrights, we still have a five to five points. How?” Enni said.

The 8% of the remuneration is good whether it is on the earth in the previous life or in the parallel world of the United Kingdom. Many famous writers will not reach this figure for a lifetime. Therefore, Enni is a special kindness to Kevin this time.

Kevin naturally knew that the treatment was good, so after thinking about it for a while, he agreed.

With Kevin’s verbal consent, Enni was relieved a lot.

“Well, you can send me the part you wrote first. Then I will do an unprecedented promotion based on the content of your book. In this way, the sales will be even better.” said Enni, the editor-in-chief.

“Okay, then I will send it to your mailbox next time.”

“Okay, I hope our cooperation this time is another great success.” Enni said with a smile.

Because he had to fly back to Edinburgh at four in the afternoon, Kevin did not dare to stay in the London Literature Publishing House for too long. After chatting with the editor-in-chief of Enni, he returned to the hotel.
