Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

After Kevin returned to the Sykes Hotel, he planned to pack up and return to Edinburgh. He booked a flight at four o'clock in the afternoon. According to the time, it was just after five o'clock when we returned to Edinburgh. You can also have dinner with your family.

But just as he was packing his things, Enni called him. Ennie didn't know he hadn't left London until she saw Kevin's tweet last night.

"Hi, Ennie, hello." Kevin pressed the answer button.

"Kevin, you haven't left London yet, have you?"

"Yes, I plan to go back in the afternoon. What's the matter?" Kevin asked.

"Oh, then are you free to come over to the London Literary Publishing House?" asked Editor-in-Chief Enni.

"I've booked a flight at four o'clock in the afternoon, and I still have free time. Well, I'll go there later."

Kevin didn't know what Enni told him to go to the London Literary Publishing House, but the London Literary Publishing House was also kind to him. After all, I won the champion of the literary competition here, and also published my first novel here.

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

Kevin put down his luggage, got out of the car and took a taxi directly to the London Literary Publishing House. Since I've been here a few times, I'm familiar with it.

After Editor-in-Chief Enni brought Kevin into her office, she asked her assistant to bring her a pot of tea. This woman in her thirties, wearing a mermaid skirt today, looks like a charming mermaid. After Kevin came in, he couldn't bear to look at it a few more times.

"Dear editor-in-chief Enni, may I ask why you came to me for something important?" Kevin moistened his throat with tea, and then asked directly.

"It's not really a big deal. But it's about you. I saw you tweet last night. Did you sign up for a column in Time Magazine?" Ennie asked.

"Yes, it was Wall who approached me. They wanted me to write a column in Time Magazine. Wall once encouraged me. Because of this relationship, I agreed." Kevin replied.

"Well, it can be seen that you are a person full of personality, and I like such people. It is also a good thing that you can become a columnist for "Times" so soon. You must know that many people have written in the magazine. No one is willing to help them open a column in their whole life." Editor-in-Chief Enni praised.

In fact, in the British literary world, as Ennie said, not everyone can write a column in a magazine or newspaper. Because this country attaches great importance to literature, there are very many people who write articles, and there are even more talents among them. With more talents, the competition will naturally increase. Therefore, many newspapers and magazines will choose to find famous writers to set up columns.

Kevin has already been a columnist in less than three months after entering the literary world, which is indeed a broken record. Otherwise, Bogut would not be jealous.

"Thank you, I also feel that God has taken care of me too much. Oh, did you ask me to have anything to do with this?" Kevin asked.

"No, it's not. This is your choice, and 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 is not very convenient." Editor-in-Chief Enni said.

"Thank you for your concern. My next work is already in progress, and I don't think this book will be worse than "Jane Eyre." Kevin said.

"Well, that's one of the reasons why I asked you to come here.

You are the champion of the 7th Literature Contest. According to previous champions, many publishers will choose to sign long-term publishing contracts with him. I wonder if you have signed this contract with other publishers? "

"No, but Dehai Publishing House and several other publishing houses also called me 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.

Editor-in-Chief Enni originally planned to ask Kevin if he wanted to sign a long-term contract with the London Literary Publishing House, but now that she heard what he said, she had no choice but to give up the idea. However, she respects Kevin's choice, after all, everyone has their own choice.

"Then what is your next work? Can it be published by our London Literary Publishing House?" Editor-in-Chief Enni said cleverly.

That's right, even if Kevin is unwilling to sign a long-term contract with the publishing house, wouldn't it be OK to get the publishing contract in advance before his book is finished? Besides, because of his own relationship, perhaps Kevin would not refuse. Moreover, 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 Literary Publishing House, so he does not rule out signing "Wuthering Heights" with the London Literary Publishing House.

So, Kevin said: "It's no problem to publish it for your London Literature Society, but this time I choose to share the income, is that okay?"

If "Jane Eyre" had chosen to share it with the publishing house, it would definitely cost more than 200,000 pounds. But Kevin was a newcomer at the time, and it was already good enough to be published. So I didn't pursue too much. Now that he has the basis of "Jane Eyre", he can completely ask for a share.

It turns out that Enni didn't refuse the request either. 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 money.

"Of course there is no problem with this. We can give you 8% of the share. As for other copyrights, we still share 50-50%. How about it?" Enni said.

8% of the author's remuneration is not bad, whether it is on the earth in the previous life or in the UK in this parallel world, it is estimated that many well-known writers will not reach this amount after writing for a lifetime. Therefore, Enni is giving Kevin a special favor this time.

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

With Kevin's verbal promise, Enni was relieved a lot.

"Well, you can send me the part you wrote first, and then I will do an unprecedented promotion based on the content of your book. In this way, the sales will be even better." Editor-in-Chief Enni said.

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

"Okay, I hope our cooperation this time will be another great success." Enni said with a smile.

Since he had to fly back to Edinburgh at four o'clock in the afternoon, Kevin didn't dare to stay too long at the London Literary Publishing House. After chatting with the editor-in-chief Enni, he returned to the hotel.
