Chapter 149: Writers' Guild [Ask for Subscription]
"That's right, it's the Writers' Association. In May of each year, a new batch of members will be recommended to join the list, and they can join after being voted and approved by the General Assembly. ”
Lei Hao was afraid that Qin Chuan would be resistant to the Writers' Association, so he explained: "Now many people say that the Writers' Association is useless, but in fact, it is still beneficial. At least every year, it brings everyone together to exchange information and exchange information, and there will also be invitations to internal publications and activities of the Writers' Association. The most important thing is that it can now protect the interests of our writers, and for the time being, it is still free of membership fees. In the future, as the reform changes, a certain amount of membership fees may be levied on members and new members. ”
The Writers' Association is an awkward institution that is almost forgotten by the general public, but it is often mentioned at an inopportune time.
If it weren't for the fact that someone stood up and scolded it, people would have rarely remembered this unit.
For outsiders, the Writers' Association is a dispensable, a temple of strange writers.
However, for writers, this institution is an inexplicable relationship that cannot be entered before becoming famous, and is also fought for if they do not want to enter after becoming famous.
Lei Hao and the others are trying to change all this, constantly removing the bureaucratic and bureaucratic colors of the writers' association, making it more like an organization that serves writers.
At present, it seems that the results are quite significant, at least in the past two years, there are fewer and fewer people who scold the Writers' Association, unless it is those moths who have been removed from the Writers' Association, that part of the people is really disgraced!
At present, the authority of the National Writers' Association in the world is still there, and it is the most authoritative literary evaluation organization in the country and even in the world, and it is the most professional authority.
The "People's Literature" sponsored by the Writers' Association is the crown of the top of literature, and the "Literature and Art Daily" is the most brilliant pearl on the crown!
The criteria for joining the Writers' Association are very simple, there must be at least two introducers, and have published two works that are generally recognized by the society, and there must be no plagiarism record.
Nowadays, the writers' association is becoming more and more like a writers' union, which not only provides legal protection for its members, but also maximizes the benefits of writers' remuneration and protects copyright.
In fact, the manuscript fee of Chinese writers is still a little less than that of the rest of the world, and increasing the manuscript fee of writers has always been an issue called for by various well-known writers.
Although their part of the manuscript fee has risen, there are still a large number of ordinary authors and even newcomer authors who cannot rely on the manuscript fee to live or even survive.
In January, the Writers' Association formally negotiated and held talks with major publishing companies, and raised the standard of manuscript fees, such as the minimum fee for receiving manuscripts in magazines and newspapers shall not be less than 50 per thousand words, and the copyright for publishing shall not be less than 200 per thousand words.
Even Qin Chuan was busy writing "Zhu Xian", and he had seen this news.
If you can consider the interests of writers, fight for the welfare of writers, and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of writers, the writers' association will make many writers come to their hearts!
The Writers' Association itself should be a service-oriented organization, not a right-entitlement organization.
Although Qin Chuan has joined the walker culture, if there is a writers' association as a backing, any disputes can also be brought forward by the writers' association, which can be said to be a double insurance.
Trade unions have played a significant role in helping workers win a range of rights to overtime pay, paid holidays, health insurance plans, retirement plans, and so on.
At the same time, because the heart is too big, the requirements are getting higher and higher, which leads to the bankruptcy of countless enterprises, the layoff of workers, and the economic depression.
It's really a double-edged sword, and if you're not careful, you'll lose both!
The power of the writer alone is a bit weak, and if the relevant rights are violated, it is difficult to deal with the big companies. Neither the strength nor the energy to deal with one lawsuit after another.
If there is a writers' association, at least the writer can rely on it and not fight alone.
It will also become a deterrent to companies with bad intentions, so that they know that the end of infringement will be miserable!
It's just that not every author can join the National Writers' Association, and they can only join their own local Writers' Association first.
Faced with this invitation, of course, Qin Chuan readily agreed.
He was worried that he couldn't find a suitable introducer.
The editor-in-chief of "Literature and Art Daily" is definitely a leading figure in the Writers' Association, and he readily agreed: "If I can join the Writers' Association, it will definitely be my honor." But Editor-in-Chief Lei is currently busy with a project on my hands, and I may not be able to contribute to the Literature and Art Newspaper in the near future. ”
"I understand, we don't have to rush the manuscript for us. The article is made by nature, and the magic hand is even good. It's never too late to write excellent works for us. ”
Lei Hao does not want to use the qualifications of the work follow-up writers' association as a weight on both sides of the scale.
He is really trying his best to bring in a group of fresh blood for the Writers' Association.
Qin Chuan's influence in the literary world now is actually only one "Metamorphosis", and his "People Grow and Hate Water Changdong" and "Zhu Xian" are both popular fields.
"It's not easy for you to write tens of thousands of words of "Dragon Family" every week now. ”
"Well, the first part of "Dragon Family" has actually been written. Qin Chuan inadvertently revealed a small piece of news.
Lei Hao was stunned, the magazine he got yesterday had only published the first two issues, and he had already finished writing.
"Are young people writing so fast nowadays? I'm really getting old. So you're writing another new book right now?"
Qin Chuan replied: "That's right, although not many words have been written yet, it is ready, it is a reasoning. ”
"Huh?" Lei Hao thought that his old eyes were dizzy and his tinnitus was too loud, and he heard it wrong, so he asked rhetorically, "You mean reasoning?"
"That's right, want to try this new genre. Maybe it will work wonders!"
Lei Hao suddenly didn't know what to say.
Sure enough, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.
I know that Huaxia's reasoning is a big pit, but I want to jump into it!
The head is really iron, don't hit the south wall and don't look back.
"It's a good thing to have ideas, come on! Our country's reasoning is quite deficient in terms of genre, if you can write an excellent book to fill in the gaps, let the world see that all kinds of Chinese works can be accepted. ”
Lei Hao didn't pour cold water, he didn't belong to a fire truck or a fire extinguisher.
He believes that this kind of writer must have a plan for the future and confidence in his work.
Qin Chuan was high-spirited: "Don't dare to say anything else, this book will definitely be very good!"
"Then I'll have to take a good look then. If it's not good-looking, don't blame me for making a big attack on the literary newspaper. ”
"Don't worry if you're old, if you don't look good, you can criticize it casually!"
How many writers wish to be commented on by "Literature and Art Daily", even if it is a bad review, it is better than drowning in a sea of books.
"I'm waiting for good news for you. Write well, and the Chinese language scene will depend on the young people of your generation. ”
Lei Hao's generation of writers is basically old, and it is not easy to resolutely reform the writers' association and try their best to clean up the atmosphere of the literary world, and there is almost no extra experience to create excellent ones.
Qin Chuan was a little embarrassed after hanging up the phone.
When I get old, I continue to struggle for the Chinese language scene, and I also want to find a reserve force for the new writers' association.
Although he is not a leader in the literary world, he can be appropriately inclined when creating popular literature, which can be regarded as making some contributions to the older generation of writers.
Sitting back at his desk, Qin Chuan planned to finish the new chapter in front of him.
There were a lot of thoughts in my head, and I thought I would be able to write Kawen, but it turned out to be extremely smooth to write.
It's unexpected!
The sound of crackling typing echoed through the office.
Occasionally, the faculty and staff passing by couldn't help but smile when they saw the lights inside.
They all knew that only one PE teacher would stay in the office for long periods of time.
It's not that easy to write, and the money isn't that easy to make.
Others have only seen the scenery of Qin Chuan's published books, but these colleagues know that Qin Chuan spends almost all of his spare time on writing every day.
How many young teachers can stand up to boring writing?
Anyway, they ask themselves if they can't do that.
Qin Chuan's ten fingers were flying, obviously he didn't turn on the overclocking state of his brain, but after the writing inspiration came up, he quickly wrote the first chapter of "The Devotion of Suspect X".
"It's not bad, it's finally preserved. ”
He breathed a sigh of relief, he wrote at least 10,000 words today, but thousands of words were deleted.
It's not well written, and it's too much to keep it.
Qin Chuan at least knew what he wanted to write, but he was suffering from the fact that his head and hands did not cooperate so tacitly. Many other writers don't even know what they want to write, and often delete most of the manuscript they have written, which is the most annoying.
Sometimes readers, publishers, and editors are desperately urging the manuscript, but it is not the author who is lazy.
It's possible that they've written ten numbers in order to write a good one, and they're just lying in the trash!
He saved the manuscript, then opened the browser on the computer and accurately found the official website of the Huaxia Writers Association.
I had registered an account to participate in the Young Writers Literary Creation Contest, but I was not a member of the Writers' Association, and now I am filling out the membership application form in his personal center of the account.
In addition to personal information, it is mainly the main work that is written, published or published, which must be legally published and must have the number given by the Publishing Bureau.
In the information age, the Writers' Association is also advancing with the times.
A few years ago, it was required to print the application form and find the unit to write opinions and stamp the official seal with the member unit of the group, but after the reform, it was much more relaxed, and there were not so many bureaucratic requirements.
Joining the writers' association can enjoy these treatments, but it does not mean that you can sit back and relax, if there are some creative scandals, you will definitely be forced to withdraw from the association.
"Tsk, in addition to personal literary collections, literary journals and newspapers and magazines can also be counted, and the Internet can also be counted!"
The current writers' association is the real writers' association, uniting and safeguarding the interests of all literary creators, and does not care which platform the creators are creating on.
Of course, there are drawbacks to this.
Some people who are proud of their identity as writers will naturally feel that the reform of the writers' association will affect their identity, and they just take a fancy to the identity of writers and want to use this identity to gild.
It's nothing more than a clown jumping off the beam, and it won't take long to jump.
The writer is neither noble nor lowly, but just like the other three hundred and sixty-five lines, it is just a profession!
****************
Lightning protection in advance, this is an overhead world, not the real world.
Don't use the reality of the association into the book, everything is the author's beautiful imagination.
Now the weekly recommendation is 1000 votes, if it can become 2000 votes, how about the author add a 3000-word chapter to the author?
