Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

After receiving Kevin's contact information, Louis immediately called Kevin. Baidu Search Geli Literature Network

"Hi! Is it Mr. Kevin? I'm from the Royal Poetry Press. You can call me Louis. You wrote "The Collection of All Beings" is great, so I want to talk to you."

Louis didn't intend to go around the corners, after Kevin answered the phone, he went directly to the subject.

David Lee had already told Kevin about this in advance, so he had already prepared in his heart. After this unfamiliar call, he must not be surprised or surprised.

"Yes, I'm Kevin, and "The Collection of All Beings" is the first collection of poems I wrote. Thank you for your importance. I just don't know how you want to sign it?"

Since the other party is so blunt, Kevin simply points directly. So as not to go around the topic, but also waste time.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Kevin, our Royal Poetry Publishing House is very satisfied with your "Collection of All Beings", so as long as you can agree that it will be published by our publishing house, I think everything is easy to say." Speaking happily on the phone.

"Of course, I believe in the strength of your Royal Poetry Publishing House."

"That's good. Let's go to Edinburgh in the afternoon, and then we can talk together, and then we can sign the contract by the way. What do you think?" Louis said in pursuit of victory.

"Well, the city of Edinburgh will always welcome you."

Since writing the book, Kevin has become accustomed to things like outsiders coming to Edinburgh to find himself. So I don't care about one more Louis.

Now that Louis is coming this afternoon, after reviewing the last manuscript of "Youth", Kevin plans to go home and prepare to welcome the other party's arrival.

Louis arrived in Edinburgh just after four o'clock in the afternoon. In order to sign "The Collection of All Beings" as soon as possible, he contacted Kevin without taking a break. Kevin had already made all preparations. When Louis called, the two met in the teahouse.

Louis is the kind of scrawny editor, which may have something to do with his previous status as a poet. After all, most poets always have fantasy in their minds. The body will be thinner.

"Hello, dear Mr. Louis, welcome to Edinburgh." Kevin said after a polite hug with each other.

"Yo! I didn't expect you to be so young. The poems you wrote are not in line with your age at all. You are simply unexpected." Louis said in surprise.

"Thank you. So I told a lot of people. You can read me through my poems, but you can't guess me through my poems." Kevin said wittily.

"Well, what a talented guy, I am so happy to meet such a person. Kevin, I think next. We have to talk about the publication of "The Collection of All Beings". You know that I am bringing you this time. Come with sincerity."

Louis was still anxious for this excellent poem in his heart, after all, he knew it very well. If such an excellent work is not done soon, maybe other publishers will do it. The ghost knows if Kevin only submitted his manuscript to a publishing house. Or only the Royal Poetry Press knows about his new book.

"Okay, since Mr. Louis is so refreshing, then I'll be direct. This is my first time writing a collection of poems, so my requirements are not high, 15% share." Kevin said directly.

"Ah! Fifteen percent?" Louis was surprised.

"Yes! Because poetry does not have film and television copyrights, it must be divided into 15%. You must know that the difference between my last novel and the publishing house is 10%, and it is only the text copyright." Kay Wen explained.

Poetry and novels are not the same after all, and novels can be developed through many channels. But poetry is different. It cannot be made into a TV, and it cannot be made into a game. Therefore, the 15% of the revenue share of this station opened by Kevin is not excessive. Besides, he has reason to believe that the market value of this collection of poems, which combines all the classics of the earth in the past, is absolutely reliable.

In other words, even if the Royal Poetry Publishing House does not plan to sign a contract with himself for publication in the end, he does not need to worry. He can also give more publishers.

Regarding Kevin's situation, Louis naturally checked before coming. He also knows that Kevin is now a popular man in English literature. And every work can sell well. It's just that the collection of poems was the first time he involved. He didn't expect that Kevin had set a high demand of 15% of his income.

Because of the limit of the poetry market, 15% of the income of authors is considered a very high proportion. It is necessary to know that poets who are now very popular may not be able to achieve this ratio.

"Kevin. Isn’t there any room for negotiation? We signed a contract to publish a poet in the industry a while ago, and his condition was only 10%. So, you see..." Louis tried to use the data Convince Kevin.

"No, no, dear Mr. Louis. I think I have to be worthy of those poems, so 15% is my bottom line. Of course. I am very happy that you can like this work, it is a kind of complete to me. Yes." Kevin said firmly.

Kevin is not for himself, but also to get a reasonable price for the works of the great poets on the earth in the past, otherwise, this is simply an insult to the classics. After all, their representative works, any capital, was very influential at the time.

For example, "I'm like a flowing cloud roaming alone~www.NovelMTL.com~" by China Zworthy. This is one of Wordsworth's lyrical masterpieces, written in 1804, and it is precisely because this poem began to establish him In the status of British poetry, and the poem has always been liked and loved by British poetry lovers. Even when Wordsworth won many poetry awards in his later years, he always said "I'm like a flowing cloud roaming alone" is his most satisfying work.

Kevin insisted on not giving in, and Louis had to think about it. After all, before he came, he had never thought that Kevin would make such a high request. If it is 10%, maybe he has agreed long ago and signed it. After all, for him, who is also a poet, he naturally knows that the content and poems inside are so wonderful and perfect.

Intuition has also deeply told Louis that Kevin's "The Collection of All Beings" will surely set off a "big wave" in the British poetry world. This is one of the reasons why he came to Edinburgh in such a hurry.

It's just that the author accounts for 15% of the income, which is simply too high? Should I sign it? (To be continued.) WWW.GEILIWX.COM Happy reading every day
