Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Chapter 148: Kevin's request

network()()()

All of the publishers who were interested in Kevin's "Robinson Crusoe" called for a while, but after hearing Kevin's conditions, they were all the same as the Scottish Literature Publishing House and did not immediately make a decision.

Even if these publishing houses did not dare to make a decision right away, they did not reject it face-to-face, or gave Kevin a bad face. Their final tone was very docile, like little sheep in winter.

"Mr. Kevin, for this request you made, I can't do it for a while. Lord, I need to discuss with the above, so please wait patiently, okay?"

"Dear Kevin, this request is a bit beyond my expectation, so I need to discuss with my colleagues and rest assured that we will not give up your "Robinson Crusoe", so please give us some time."

"Although I did not make a decision right away, our publisher is very interested in your book. Therefore, we will contact you again and ask Mr. Kevin to keep in touch with our publisher. Thank you. Bless **** bless you"

Kevin doesn’t have to worry about the book not being published this time, so let them think about it. Anyway, it’s them, not themselves.

After the phone didn’t ring anymore, Kevin planned to go out for lunch and then packed up and returned to Edinburgh.

But when he just walked to the door of the hotel, the editor-in-chief Enni also appeared at the door of the Sex Hotel.

"Hi, Kevin, where are you going?" Enni asked with a smile

"I plan to go out for lunch, and I will return to Edinburgh in the evening. By the way, Editor-in-Chief Enni, why are you here? Did you come to me?" Kevin asked

"Yes, I'm here for you, since you haven't had lunch yet, let me treat you together"

"Okay, editor-in-chief Enni, thank you for your enthusiasm for me in London"

Editor-in-chief Enni took Kevin to a London restaurant, and then ordered a lot of delicious food and a bottle of wine for Kevin

"Come on, make a toast to the successful outcome of our press conference" Editor-in-chief Enni raised the glass to Kevin with a charming smile

Kevin also picked up the Gogan Cup in front of him, and then gently touched Enni's raised cup

"Thank you for your trust in me, I think maybe they wouldn't believe me without your support"

"No, dear Kevin, this is your own talent that has conquered the masses. This is your own miracle. To be honest, when your plagiarism is heard, many people think that you will be in the English literary world. But now What? You have conquered everything with your extraordinary talents. You are amazing."

"Thanks for the compliment, oh, cheers"

After speaking, Kevin took the initiative to touch the glass edited by Enni gently, and then drank the wine in the glass.

Halfway through the good food, the editor-in-chief Enni suddenly put the knife and fork down, then looked at Kevin affectionately, and finally said: "Kevin, I remember you said that your book is called at the press conference. "Robinson Crusoe", is this true?"

"Yes, this is a very interesting story. It is different from "Jane Eyre" and "Wuthering Heights". Anyway, I think it is very interesting."

"Oh, what you said made me curious. Actually, I am looking for you today for this." Editor-in-chief Enni finally entered the topic she wanted at this time.

"The editor-in-chief Enni means you also want the copyright of my book?" Kai Wenming said

When Enni mentioned "Robinson Crusoe", Kevin could already guess that the purpose of the other party was the same as those of the publishers who called him today, they wanted to sign the book.

"Yes, yes, when you just said that, I was eager to publish it. You know, I like your work very much. You also have a very deep relationship with our London literary publishing. So, I think this It’s most appropriate for a book to be published by us"

Editor-in-chief Enni knows that after Kevin announced the book information at the press conference, there will definitely be many publishers who want to get the copyright of this book, so at this time she also started to pull the relationship level.

When the editor-in-chief of Enni came over, the London Literary Publishing House had already ordered Kevin’s book "Robinson Crusoe" to be signed anyway. Now I heard Kevin simply say something about this book. After the content, Enni made up her mind

"Dear Enni editor-in-chief, you and I have a very close relationship. I don’t want to hide that you were before you, that is, just now. At least ten publishers called me for the purpose of asking me to write this book "Signed to them but none of them succeeded. Do you know why?"

"What"

Editor-in-chief Enni has guessed that there will be such a phenomenon. She is curious why these publishers did not succeed in signing this destined best-selling work, or in other words, what is the reason for Kevin's rejection of them.

"Because I put forward a condition, they must think deeply about this condition and dare not make a decision right away. Therefore, I think that for you London Literary Publishing House, perhaps I will not make concessions and respect for this condition. Editor-in-chief, I hope you can understand" Kevin said sincerely

"I'm very curious about what kind of conditions this is. Of course, our London Literary Publishing House is an excellent publishing house in the country. I think we will try our best to meet the requirements of the author. So, Kevin, you can say it straight."

"What I told them is that when UU reads the book www.uukanshu.com, I only sign the text copyright with the publishing house. I have to keep all other copyrights and my share of the text copyright must be 10%. They retreated because of this. Of course, maybe they will call me after they have discussed it."

"What? Are you only willing to sign a text copyright agreement with the publisher?" The editor-in-chief Enni was a little surprised when he heard this request.

"Yes, so the editor-in-chief Enni, I am very sorry. This is also a request I made to myself. Perhaps even if my relationship with you is extraordinary, this request will not be too much to retreat. I hope you can understand."

Enni's editor-in-chief has been in the industry for so many years. Of course, she knows that this requirement is considered to be relatively high-end. After all, the reason why publishing houses want to sign works of popular writers is to make money from other channels, such as film and television channels, in addition to making money from the book market. Game channel, or audio channel, etc.

And if Kevin is only willing to sign the copyright of the text, it will undoubtedly make publishers less money-making channels. This is also the reason why many publishers retreat because no one can guarantee how much money they can make in the book market and even if they can make it. When it comes to money, undoubtedly it can’t be compared with film and television copyrights.

Now that the editor-in-chief of Enni hears this condition, she has to think about it quietly like other publishers (to be continued)
