The Goddess Shines on America

　　 Alice did not expect the Bantam people to come so quickly. After all, although the express delivery should only take a day or two, who knows when the editor can review his manuscript, let alone make up his mind to contact him.

　　 After learning from Brown that the editor-in-chief Domingo hung up more than a dozen calls at home and no one answered them, Alice checked the call log, and there were indeed many missed calls displayed.

"I'm sorry, because we really don't have the habit of calling and leaving messages. It happened that nobody was at home all day. But Mr. Brown, your efficiency is so fast. I didn't expect that you could do it so quickly. contact."

　　 Alice knows what day it is when I think about it for a while. According to the record, when Domingo hung up the first call, the family had just temporarily settled Mariana's affairs and was eating in Chinatown!

　　 "Then Miss Wang, I will personally confirm now, is this novel really written by you?"

　　 Not to mention, when Brown saw that the author of the manuscript, Alice Wang was really, really just a twelve-year-old girl, he was surprised that he had to say so anyway.

Hearing his question, Sophie who was sitting on the side smiled proudly. Hannah looked at her sister with admiration, that is, Oscar was still a playboy, and she had to look at Alice with a disdainful expression. .

　　 "You mean the source of inspiration, and the knowledge used in the book."

Alice smiled and said, "If you go into my bedroom, you will understand that there are many difficult books in my bookcase, which are not what people of my grade can read. But I can just read them. I understand those books, so I naturally have a very rich accumulation of knowledge."

　　 "Really? What kind of books are there? When you say that, I really can't help but want to read it."

　　 Hearing that Alice actually said that, Brown was naturally surprised, and said with a smile on his face: "Can I visit your bedroom?"

　　 "Walk into a little girl's boudoir and visit?"

Suddenly, Brown’s secretary Leona interjected: "Mr. Brown, would you please pay attention to your gender? Or are you planning to go to Thailand for an operation? Well, the price is not cheap, I don’t know your meager, Can the salary that has not been paid for a long time be paid?"

　　In an instant, Brown's smile was still on his mouth, but it was completely frozen.

　　 Hannah was the first to laugh with a pop.

　　 "Uh, ahem, let's return to the subject."

　　 Alice couldn’t help looking at this beautiful secretary. She was in her twenties and she was in a super good figure. She hadn’t said a word before, but she said a word so suddenly that she could choke someone...

"If you have doubts about the authenticity of this book as I created it, you can ask me questions on the plot of the book on the spot. If this is okay... Mr. Brown, you must be the elders. It’s not for a tea party with us to come here, right? This book has been determined to be published?"

　　 "Good fellow, your girl's thinking ability is really amazing!"

In just five minutes of dialogue, Brown was fully aware of Alice’s unusualness. Although many children with superior family environments are also very mature, he has never seen a few who can talk like Alice in so many years. .

　　 "We are indeed interested in publishing your work, boy, congratulations."

Of course, Brown threw a reassurance first. It was also a big bomb, but he immediately saw that Alice was still very indifferent, and her family was almost like this, at most Hannah couldn’t help it. I yelled and felt happy that my sister's work was really published.

　　 In the next hour, Brown explained in detail the publishing process of the newcomer writer's works by Bantam Publishing.

　　 First of all, although Alice’s work is indeed very good, the editor-in-chief Domingo and other editors are very optimistic. But even if they are insiders, they cannot represent the tastes of all readers. Therefore, the new book promotion is of course an indispensable link.

"The company has many publicity channels, the most basic of which is naturally questionnaires and tri-folding manuals. In fact, every publishing period for new books, any publishing house will distribute such items as the majority of users, and there are promotion specialists on the street. Flyers are distributed on the Internet and delivered directly to residents in the area in batches. These leaflets, questionnaires, and three-fold pages contain the introduction of the new book, as well as the user’s expectation of the survey feedback mailing, this...presumably Mrs. Wang is the clearest Right?"

Sophie nodded. Alice also knew these things. Just a few days ago, Hannah had just cleared the mailbox, which was filled with various questionnaires and tri-fold pages, such as those from a large dessert takeaway store. "Favorite cake" questionnaire or something.

　　 "After obtaining a certain amount of survey results, we can determine the reader market of the new book. Then, our editors determine the propaganda intensity based on the predicted market size, including the production of roll-up banners and posters..."

　　 "If it is a serialization in a magazine, it can be promoted on the advertisement page of the magazine."

　　 Alice suddenly interjected: "Is there no such step in the publishing of physical books like me?"

Brown smiled approvingly, because Alice’s question is really a point of entry: “This is easy to handle. As long as you have reading experience, you will find that no matter what type of magazine, there will be a lot of advertisements in it. In fact, for For many magazines, this kind of advertising revenue itself is a large part of their total revenue."

“As the nation’s top publishing house, Bantam Books has a cooperative relationship with many types of magazines, especially literary magazines. Even if your book is not serialized in some novel magazines, as long as we are willing to pay for advertising. , Of course they are also happy to add a physical book advertisement to the page. This is not a problem."

　　 "It's a matter of cost."

　　 Alice took the conversation and laughed: "Also, newcomers like me shouldn't be eligible for a new book launch, right? I mean, do autographs like those well-known authors?"

　　 Brown pondered for a moment, and in the short conversation, Alice cut to the point every sentence, which has greatly increased his affection for this rather mysterious Asian girl. UU reading www. uukanshu. com Therefore, after Alice threw another question, just like every teacher likes to ask top students to ask questions, he is really happy to answer his questions.

　　 "This depends on the author's own wishes. The publisher does not matter."

"For most newcomer writers, in order to further increase their popularity, they will basically settle in a bookstore on the first day of new book sales. This is not a problem in itself. The difference is that if they are really newcomers or writers who are not well-known, Most of the time during the signing ceremony was just sitting around. It’s like a signature signing hand of a popular writer."

After the laughter of the whole house came to an end, Brown went on to say: "So, in principle, you are willing to hold an autograph meeting for Miss Wang. Of course, going to the battle in person will definitely increase your popularity, no matter which writer it is for. It's all the same."

　　 Of course, Alice should have a good understanding of how to propagate these things, but to be honest, she is actually a little lacking in interest in this matter.

After all, even if it is popular in the world such as "Harry Potter", it is nothing more than bringing hundreds of millions of net worth to Rowling. Alice really looks down on the income from writing books. As for fame, It is indeed an icing on the cake.

　　 After all, even if she doesn't toss about other things, a single Cisco alone can bring herself tens of billions of worth after development. The company itself is the concept of the foundation stone of the Internet. In contrast, what is a mere "Jurassic Park"?

　　 If it weren't for the stimulation of Cici's words, I guess she wouldn't spare this time.
