Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Chapter 9 The Editor-in-Chief's Meeting

After Mr. Curry explained the situation of tomorrow's rematch in detail on the stage, he shared his writing experience over the years with everyone.

In his opinion, a good writer should be inseparable from life, and novels should be life, and novels must not be higher than life, because novels higher than life cannot touch people's hearts.

Kevin appreciates his point of view. In his previous life, he always wrote novels according to this idea, but because he was too traditional and had bad luck, he kept hitting the streets.

"Okay, all literary geniuses, I've said everything I said. As for who will be the champion tomorrow, it depends on your own performance. Goodbye."

After speaking, Mr. Curry smiled kindly and left amidst the applause of the crowd.

According to the procedure, the players participating in the rematch first came to the London Press to report, and then held a meeting where Mr. Curry explained the situation of the rematch tomorrow. After that, the players could choose to visit everything in the London Press. .

Therefore, after the meeting, many contestants who participated in the rematch chose to visit the London Press before returning to the hotel.

In the London Press, the editor-in-chief Enni is sitting in her exclusive office looking at the selected manuscripts, which are all contestants in the semi-finals.

According to the arrangement of the London Publishing House, at the very beginning, editor-in-chief Enni could serve as one of the chief judges of this literary competition, but because she was going to study at Arsenal temporarily, she withdrew from the position of chief judge.

Today is also the first day that editor-in-chief Enni returned from studying at Arsenal. As an old editor who has been in the field of literary editing for seven or eight years, the first time she came back, she asked the editorial assistant to write the manuscripts that were selected for the semi-finals. Give her a look.

Yes, she is always concerned about the situation of this literary competition, and she wants to see how the articles of these contestants are.

There were more than 20 articles in total, and Enni read them very carefully. She didn't blink until the evening when her colleagues were off work.

"It's not bad. It's about the same level as in previous years. I hope they will have good results in the rematch."

When she said this, Enni still hadn't read the last manuscript. Although it was time to get off work, she was always diligent and planned to finish the last manuscript.

""The Rose of Love" turned out to be a poem. This kind of competition dares to use poems to participate, which shows the author's courage and self-confidence. Let me take a good look."

So, editor-in-chief Enni looked down curiously:

Time cannot destroy love,

But fickleness and injustice will ruin the flower of love,

Even if it blooms in the shade of fantasy,

It will also wither suddenly, which will catch you off guard.

Time cannot destroy love,

But fickleness and ignorance will destroy love,

would destroy its vermilion shimmering shrine.

"Wonderful, this writing is really wonderful, and this thought is so unique." Enni couldn't help talking to herself after seeing the last few lines of the poem.

Yes, "The Rose of Love" can be said to be one of the classic masterpieces of the great British poet Shelley on the earth. Shelley used all his imagination in those poems, which is also the key to his poems being immortal and touching.

Enni couldn't help being deeply intoxicated by this poem, she read it five times in one breath,

Still feel unsatisfactory.

"The insights into love and sophistication are so profound and unique. Such a talent must be the pride of the British literary world in the future. I really want to meet this author and ask him how he wrote such a work."

Editor-in-chief Enni has been the kind of person who dares to think and do things since she was a child. She immediately found Kevin's phone number from the manuscript's information, and called it without hesitation.

At this time, Kevin was watching the Premier League game in the hotel, but it was a replay, the match between Manchester United and Crystal Palace.

"Damn, Falcao is really awesome, he kicked the ball in easily."

Kevin said excitedly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone started to vibrate. This is a low-end mobile phone that is very common in the UK now. There is no ringtone, and it can only vibrate when there is an incoming call or message. However, this mobile phone is quite good for Kevin from a poor family.

Kevin looked at the number, it was very strange, he hesitated to answer it. In the end, he was reborn as a member of the Land of Politeness and picked it up.

"Hello, are you Mr. Kevin? Did you write "The Rose of Love"?"

"Yes, I'm Kevin, and I wrote "Love Rose". May I ask who you are?" Kevin returned politely.

Of course Kevin remembered that "The Rose of Love" was written by him, but isn't this the poem he used to participate in the London Literature Competition? How could the other party know?

"Oh, that's good. I'm the editor-in-chief of the London Press, and my name is Ennie. Your article is very well written, can we see it. Oh, it's just time for dinner, we can drop by Have dinner," said Ennie.

"Certainly, but I'm not familiar with the city of London. Dear Miss Ennie, you know that I'm from Edinburgh, and I'm new here."

Of course, Kevin would not miss the appointment with the editor-in-chief of the London Literary Publishing House. Besides, isn't his "Jane Eyre" not yet signed by a publishing house? Perhaps it was a wrong choice to give her to Enni.

After all, the London Literary Publishing House is one of the best publishing houses in the UK, no worse than the Dehai Publishing House that threw the manuscript of "Jane Eyre" into the trash can before. And in terms of strength, the London Literary Press can also be ranked in the top five, which is why it is capable of hosting the most authoritative competition in British literature.

"Don't worry, I won't bully you as a newcomer. You wait at the hotel, and I will drive over to pick you up. Oh, great Mr. Kevin, we will see you later."

"Okay, dear Miss Ennie, see you later."

Enni's soft ticking voice made Kevin really unable to guess her age. But to be the editor-in-chief of the London Literary Publishing House, I must be in my thirties. But hearing that voice, Kevin couldn't imagine that it was a woman in her thirties who said it.

After putting down his phone, Kevin put the USB flash drive that stored the manuscript of "Jane Eyre" in his pocket, and planned to recommend himself to Editor-in-Chief Enni at that time.

Even if the editor-in-chief Enni is interested in his "The Rose of Love", he will definitely like "Jane Eyre". After all, these works can stand the test in any country on the earth. It was their loss that Dehai Publishing House did not want it back then. One day, they will regret it.
