Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

When Kevin woke up, it was already eight or nine o'clock the next day. The sun in London at this time was different from that in Edinburgh. Edinburgh's sunshine was softer and more comfortable at this time, while London's was more violent and passionate.

After Kevin finished washing, he was about to go to the hotel to have some breakfast casually, and then he came back to pack his luggage. Now that the rematch is over, it's time for him to go back to Edinburgh.

But at this moment, his phone rang, and it was from Editor-in-Chief Enni. Editor-in-Chief Ennie asked Kevin to go to the London Publishing House after breakfast to discuss matters.

Kevin thought it was the publication of "Jane Eyre", so he didn't dare to delay. After breakfast, he took a car to the London Literary Publishing House.

"Kevin, you are finally here, please take a seat." Editor-in-chief Enni said with a smile on her face when she saw Kevin coming.

"What's wrong? Editor-in-chief Enni seems to be in a better mood today." Kevin said.

"Well, I'm looking for you today for two reasons. First, your "Jane Eyre" is scheduled 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 Competition, our reward is to package you in an all-round way and make you a best-selling author in the UK. Of course, with your current strength, it's not very useful. It’s packed. It’s just a little operation.” Enni continued.

Package? Kevin was very familiar with this word when he was on Earth in his previous life, but at that time, as an online writer, no publishing house was willing to publish his novels, let alone package him.

Now that I hear that I am about to be "packaged", I am very happy in my heart. .

"Really? Thank you so much, my respected editor-in-chief Enni."

"You don't have to thank me, if you want to thank you, thank you for your crazy talents. Oh, do you have Twitter? We mean let you communicate with your fans more on Twitter, maybe this will make your The popularity is more stable." Editor-in-Chief Enni asked.

"Sorry, I don't have a computer with an internet connection in Edinburgh, so I don't have access to Twitter."

Yes, although Kevin has a second-hand computer at home, he cannot connect to the Internet. On weekdays, he just uses this second-hand computer to play stand-alone games or type.

"Oh, how about this, I will give you an advance payment of 50,000 pounds for the manuscript, and then you can buy a better computer and then register for a Twitter account. Remember, this matter needs to be done quickly, 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." Editor-in-Chief Enni reminded.

Entering this era, the Internet is already an indispensable thing in this world. Kevin naturally knows the benefits of the Internet. So, no need for editor-in-chief Enni to say that if he has the financial means, he will buy a brand new computer without hesitation.

It is not easy to advance the manuscript fee in advance, which usually happens to famous works. But Enni liked Kevin's talent, and also sympathized with the child born in a poor family. That's why, as an exception, he was paid 50,000 yuan in advance of the manuscript fee.

"Well, okay, when the time comes to register, I'll let you know."

"That's good, I've shown some of your manuscripts of "Jane Eyre" to Curry and the others.

Then, before it goes on sale, they'll tweet it out for you. After you sign up for Twitter, you should follow their Twitter as soon as possible. "Editor-in-chief Enni continued to remind.

Kevin nodded earnestly. As I said before, Curry and others are all well-known British writers in this parallel world. It is naturally a good thing to have their support and help. Kevin will also know how to be grateful.

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

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

Just as Kevin walked out of the London literary publishing house, the phone rang again.

"Who will call me? Could it be that the editor-in-chief Enni forgot to say something?"

Kevin took out his cell phone, but found that it was an unfamiliar phone number.

"Hi, hello, is this Mr. Kevin? Oh, it's a pleasure to talk to you. I'm the editor of Time Magazine and I want to talk to you about the publication of your rematch work. Don't know Kevin Is it convenient, sir?"

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

"Times Weekly" is a literary journal, 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 that they took a fancy to Kevin's work during the rematch --- "Meditation on a Broom".

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

No, after using his contacts to get Kevin's contact information, he immediately called.

"What? You mean to publish my Meditations on a Broom?" Kevin asked.

"Of course, how could Time Magazine miss such a prose full of philosophy of life. Oh, do you still have the copyright for the publication of your article "Meditations on a Broom?" Wall asked rationally.

As a veteran editor, Wall knows it all. The champion of the London Literary Contest, coupled with such excellent prose, will surely have many people scrambling to publish it. Therefore, in order not to cause a copyright conflict, he had to 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 "Meditations on a Broom" in our "Time Magazine." Wall said happily.

Five thousand pounds? Kevin never expected that the manuscript fee in this parallel world would be so high. Five thousand pounds for a short essay. This is a great thing.

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

"That's really great. This is also great news for us. Oh, please rest assured, Mr. Kevin, we will have a staff member contact you, and then we will remit the payment to you."

Wall's face was full of excitement at this time. What he thinks in his mind is that the sales of this issue of literary publications are going to soar again.

The champion of the 7th London Literary Contest, the work was completed in ten minutes, and it can be called a genius writer. As soon as these news were released, the sales volume of "Time Magazine" was at least several times higher than usual. After all, in this country that pays attention to literature, no one will not be full of curiosity about such works.

Early in the morning, two happy events were harvested, which made Kevin very happy. He decided to go buy a brand new computer now. In this way, it will be much more convenient to write down those works in your mind in the future. And there is no need to take a USB flash drive to the print shop to print, just a simple email.
