Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Chapter 6 Throw it directly into the trash can

“What? The writing is immature? Beautiful Alice, are you sure that editor Zela said that, the writing of “Jane Eyre” is immature?”

Alice nodded affirmatively.

Kevin was surprised when he heard this reply. As a famous work by Sherlock Bronte, “Jane Eyre” was a sensation in the literary world of the 19th century when it came out. It attracted an irresistible sense of beauty. Thousands of readers had an uncontrollable impulse that drove people to pick up this book. They were deeply moved and their hearts tremble.

Such a work, editor Zela said that the writing is immature? Kevin couldn’t understand ten thousand.

“No, I have to ask the editor Zela myself. Could you show me the way?” Kevin asked.

“This one…….”

Alice is a bit embarrassed. After all, the company has stipulated that if the author is not arranged in advance, under normal circumstances, she cannot take the other party to see the editor.

“Even if it fails the publication review, the manuscript should always be returned to me. Yeah, so, just take me to get the manuscript.” Kevin continued.

Alice was moved by this persistent person, so she took him to Zella’s office.

“Alice, didn’t you just go out? Why are you back again? Oh, this is?” When Zella looked up, he saw a young man beside Alice.

Kevin had guessed that this is the editor of Zela, so he spoke before Alice introduced him: “Dear editor Zela, hello, I am a writer, that is, “Jane. Author of “Love”. I came here this time to talk to you about the publication of “Jane Eyre”.”

Zera glanced at Alice with a serious expression when she heard it. It was a warning to Alice, saying that Alice should have asked her opinion before bringing people in.

“Oh, your “Jane Eyre” does not meet the requirements of our publishing house. So, I am very sorry.” Zella said directly.

“But respectful editor Zella, I think “Jane Eyre” will be a classic. The love described in her is so loyal, haven’t you found it?” Kevin defended his work.

“This… Sorry, that’s just what you think, I don’t think so.” Zella didn’t see anything in “Jane Eyre”, so he could only go back like this.

“Well, please return the manuscript to me. Maybe other publishers will have the same opinions as me.”

The other party didn’t even appreciate the unique writing style of “Jane Eyre”, and Kevin didn’t want to dwell on it. He didn’t believe anyone would be unable to appreciate such works.

This thick pile of manuscripts was printed out after a week of living expenses, so he had to take it back and submit it to other publishers.

One week of living expenses is not easy for Kevin’s family. Therefore, he does not want to waste too much.

But this simple request from Kevin instantly made Zela look ugly. The reason is that because she was not careful that day, she put it directly in the area to be scrapped, and then the company’s hygienist mistakenly thought it was waste paper that was scrapped. Now that Kevin asks her to return the manuscript, she is naturally embarrassed.

“Actually, you have absolutely no need for this. Such a story is too old, and I can assure you that no publishing house will publish such a work. Therefore, you still…” Zella can only try to convince the boy Give up the idea of ​​continuing to submit the manuscript, so that he will not ask to get his manuscript back.

“Really? But the respectable editor Zella, I think “Jane Eyre” will definitely be one of the best-selling books in the entire UK this year. And I am also participating in the literary competition organized by the London Literary Society. I will be the champion of this literary competition. You should know that none of the books written by the champion of this literary competition is not a best-seller.” Kevin said what was in his mind.

“What? The London Literary Contest? Champion? Ha ha, I have to say, I admire your courage and confidence. But are you sure you can enter the semi-finals? You know this literary contest is a duel of literary geniuses.”

Zera, as an editor, naturally knows about this London literary competition. When she heard Kevin said that he would be the champion of this competition, she and the teachers and classmates of the University of Edinburgh had the same views. They both believed that Kevin was overpowered and in the fantasy world.

“Wait, time will prove everything. Oh, respectful editor Zella, please return my manuscript to me, okay?” Kevin asked again.

Even Dehai Publishing House is not interested in “Jane Eyre”, and Kevin does not want to waste time. It’s better to get back your own manuscript earlier, and then go to the next one.

The manuscript of “Jane Eyre” has been destroyed, and Zella naturally can’t get it out. At this time, she can only tell the truth: “I’m very sorry, your manuscript was thrown into the trash can by our hygienist the day before yesterday. However, I still have to say that this work may not be published by a publisher. Yes. And it’s a manuscript reviewed by me, do you understand?”

Zera’s words mean that he does not need any manuscripts reviewed by a famous editor in the publishing industry, and other editors may not be too interested.

Kevin was very angry when he heard the news. But this is England, and he keeps his gentlemanly demeanor as low as possible. U U Reading www.uukanshu.com

The manuscript has been thrown into the trash can by Zela, and he doesn’t want to ask the other party for anything. Besides, as a British man, he should remain generous. A wise man once told him: When someone thinks you are not good, you should use facts to prove to the other person how good you are.

The moment Kevin walked out of Dehai Publishing House, he silently swears in his heart that he will make the other party regret his behavior today.

And Zella sitting in the office just said contemptuously: “Become the champion of the London Literary Contest? It would be a miracle for you to be able to enter the semi-finals.”

“It’s unlucky, it wasted a week of living expenses.” Kevin sighed.

However, Kevin was not disappointed. Maybe it was because he got used to playing on the street in his previous life. Such a blow was nothing to him at all.

Besides, he knew very well in his heart that the publication of “Jane Eyre” will happen sooner or later. When the time comes, those who despise him will regret it one by one.

Kevin, who had figured out all this, suddenly felt a lot more cheerful. He took the bus back to the school, planning to think about which publisher he should submit the “Jane Eyre” to.

But when I returned to school, I also found a large group of classmates gathered together, seeming to be talking about something.

“Could it be that Augustine’s father came to give the lecture again? But didn’t he come just a few days ago?”

No, Kevin suddenly discovered that the students were watching the bulletin board of the University of Edinburgh. It seemed that the school announced some major good news today.
