Writing Web Novels In America

Three days after the commercial.

Lily said goodbye to her parents and returned to her position as a sign in officer.

It's just that Wang Jian feels that Lily treats herself a little differently from before.

Before the two people, the relationship is closer to running friends

Now lily is a lot more reserved and doesn't invite herself to visit gene at home.

It's just that when she worked in the community, she looked at Wang Jian from time to time with a sense of ambiguity.

This made Wang Jian feel very embarrassed.

But what's more embarrassing is that the house Wang Jian found by the real estate agent is in Lily's community.

There are only a few very well policed communities in Brooklyn, and Lily's community is one of them.

Just as Wang Jian was thinking about moving in, he received another call from the advertising agency last night.

The advertisement that oneself photograph, will broadcast formally on TV station tomorrow.

Wang Jian looks back at lily, and it happens to meet Lily's hiding eyes.

He scratched his head helplessly.

Forget it. Let's move.

After the advertisement is broadcast, who knows if his drug addict neighbor in the Bronx will knock on his door in the middle of the night.

As for Lily

After the end of community labor, we should not meet so frequently, right?

After all, there are so many people in a large community.

It's time to put an end to their inexplicable relationship.

In this way, Wang Jian spent today's community labor in his wishful thinking.

He left the check-in point and returned home.

Then, call the agency and make an appointment to move tomorrow.

After completing this series of operations, Wang Jian opened the data report on the purchasing crowd of I am the wizard sent by Tom.

Instead of looking at the previous data analysis, he turned directly to the final survey conclusion.

The conclusion is: at present, the male teenagers aged 13-19 and the low-income male teenagers aged 20-30 are most looking forward to their new books.

As a loyal purchasing power of fantasy literature, the high-income male youth aged 20-30 have no expectation of the author's new work.

Wang Jianfan looked at the conclusion of the investigation, and then looked at the first volume of arcane throne, which he had revised and sorted out. He was a little distressed.

Arcane is not very popular with fans of I am the wizard.

I can't. change your pseudonym?

But, in that case, you won't get the minimum royalty

If you don't change your pseudonym, you may not be flattered on both sides.

After much hesitation, he called Tom.

After a pleasant cooperation with Tom, Wang Jian learned about his work experience in Langdon publishing house.

This prompted him to decide to use Tom as his copyright agent.

As for how to release volume 1 of arcane

It depends on the outcome of Tom's negotiations with major publishers.

If you can get a satisfied minimum royalty with your current name, then publish it.

If you can't, change your name and pretend to be a new person

It's not like no other writer has done this in history.

After talking with Tom, Wang Jian stood at the window, looking at the night scene of the whole Bronx, and could not help sighing deeply.

Finally, I'm leaving here.

It was the best night he had ever slept in the world.

The next morning, when the sun was just shining into the shabby apartment building.

The clear doorbell rang.

Wang Jian yawned and rubbed his confused eyes to open the door.

It was Tom outside the door.

"Ha, Wang, you have a new work?" Tom said excitedly.

"I know that your age is the peak of creation. As long as you write another work like" I'm the great mage ", I promise to sell it for you at a good price!"

"The style is different this time." Wang Jian went back to his bedroom, picked up the first volume of arcane throne and handed it to the other party.

"Why not?" Tom looked at the manuscript in doubt and asked, "isn't it still fantasy literature?"

"See for yourself." Wang Jian replied, "I'm thinking about changing my pseudonym. To avoid the disappointment of fans of "I'm the wizard."

Tom stared and exclaimed, "did you write erotic novels?"

Wang Jian: "what

"A lot of famous writers have done that." Tom shrugged and said, "for fear of shame, I'll give you another pseudonym."

"But it's very profitable."

Wang Jian shook his head and said, "the focus of this negotiation is to guarantee the minimum royalty. As for the share ratio, it can be appropriately reduced."

"What's the bottom line?" Tom asked: "there is a big fire bestseller writer, the share ratio is generally 12% - 14%, too high royalties will reduce the share ratio.""Well 10 percent. " Wang Jian replied.

"All right." Tom put the manuscript in his briefcase and said to Wang Jian, "you said on the phone that you want to move?"

"Yes." Wang Jian began to take out his suitcase and put it away. "When you get to the new apartment, I'll call you to let you know your contact information."

"OK," Tom said, "I'll let you know if it turns out."

Wang Jian made a clear gesture and watched Tom turn and leave.

Then, he called the landlord again, and after the landlord collected the rent of the current month, he went to the agency with a large suitcase full of clothes and drafts.

When a single man moves, it's just so easy.

After the agency signed the rental contract and paid three months' rent in advance.

Wang Jian finally moved into his new apartment.

This apartment has only one bedroom. It's not big, but the environment is quite good.

At least, not far from here, there are police cars on patrol.

After Wang Jian informed Tom of his new contact information on his apartment phone, he turned on the TV in the apartment and tuned the TV station.

A moment later, Wang Jian saw his first screen show.

That feeling

What a shame.

Especially after I read the lines of the sand sculpture seriously.

Well

I don't know if anyone recognized himself in the afternoon community work.

He shook his head hard and threw out the idea of shame.

At this time, Tom is reading the first volume of arcane, nodding.

The pen is much stronger.

The setting is perfect, too.

However, in the early days of this book, the conflict was not as fierce as I am the great mage.

He thought about how to get the best conditions.

Suddenly, he had an idea and looked at the New York Times on the desk.

Then he found out the phone numbers of the advertising staff of the New York Times he came into contact with when he was working at the publishing house.

Then, they dial the past.

……

"Yes, I want to put an advertisement."

"It's not a traditional advertisement, it's an interview."

"It's not the kind of false interview that deceives people, do you know that I'm the grand master?"

"It's the author whose new book is going to be published. You pretend to interview, but actually publicize."

"How much? Five thousand dollars, the smallest layout? " Tom's voice burst out.

But after thinking for a moment, he said, "OK. However, the interview time is tomorrow morning at the latest. "

"I'll send you the address and questions." Tom wrote down the fax number and hung up.

Then he said to himself, "it's better to wait for them to bid than to contribute."

"See how high you can fry this time."
