The word "publishing a book" sounds very far away from ordinary people, but since Zhang Chu has decided to take the road of literature, it is closely related to him.

Today, two important things were solved in one go, and Zhang Chu was really relaxed.

At that time, he just wanted to study economics or something, and not go to the departments of mathematics, chemistry, physics, and medicine, which needed to test his true science level.

His time is too short, even if he uses the system to connect the thinking of several teachers, and uses complementary functions to enhance his knowledge in science, he usually reads a lot of books.

However, it is still very difficult to improve the science score to the top of the college entrance examination in two or three months.

Zhang Chu didn't want to go to school by himself, so he still asked the system for help every day, whether it was on or off the field, it was putting the cart before the horse.

It's good to go to college to learn things, improve your abilities, and learn more about the world.

The regrets of the previous life are slowly made up for in this life!

If you want to be the savior of the Chinese language world, it is one aspect to carry classic literature, and another aspect to make yourself worthy of these classic works.

It is much easier to enter the Department of Chinese, although what to learn modern Chinese, ancient Chinese, and ancient and modern literary history, etc., are closely related to his creation.

In fact, many works have a corresponding contemporary atmosphere in terms of language style, and if they are to be changed to the present, they need to be modified accordingly.

Even if you are a sewing maker, you have to have a level to do it, and you don't dare to do it without two brushes.

Here in the Chinese department, everyone is almost from the same starting line, and the gap is not too obvious.

"In my free time before I went to university, I didn't know what to do. ”

Zhang Chu was lying on his sofa, turning on the TV and looking aimlessly, none of these TVs and variety shows could attract people, and the final picture was still fixed on the sports channel.

Look at the NBA, those unfamiliar players in it also made Zhang Chu a little withdrawn, so that he didn't know which team to support!

At this time, an unfamiliar phone number on the mobile phone called, and 11 digits jumped on the screen.

"Hello, is it Zhang Chu? I'm Gu Xinxue, the editor of the mystery novel category of Nanhai Publishing Company, and I finally told us your phone number. ”

An unfamiliar bass came out, sounding neither fast nor slow, explaining his origin in a word.

Zhang Chu immediately sat up straight and replied, "Yes, it's me." I heard you want to publish my book?"

"The quality of this "Sherlock" is very good, and it is very popular with old readers, and you have probably seen the evaluation on the Internet, which is quite good. I don't know how well you know about our Chinese reasoning community, our Nanhai Publishing Company is a publishing giant in the reasoning industry, and it has the ability to help you sell this book better. ”

In fact, Zhang Chu gnawed at the old in his own bookstore in his last life, and he has a certain understanding of various publishing houses, for example, this Nanhai Publishing Company is indeed a giant in the field of mystery novels, and its marketing methods are very superb.

In the previous life, Keigo Higashino's works such as "Anxiety Relief Grocery Store" and "White Night Walking", Miyuki Miyabe's "Train", Matsumoto Kiyohari's "Dots and Lines" and "Zero Focus", as well as domestic writer Cai Jun and so on.

There are not many writers in the Nanhai Publishing Company, but each of them has weight, especially Keigo Higashino, who has transcended the boundaries of mystery novels, is included in the command, which is when it sits firmly in the position of the first brother of domestic mystery fiction publishing.

Now there is no figure of Keigo Higashino in this world, but Nanhai Publishing Group is still outstanding!

"I've heard about your company, but I haven't finished Sherlock yet. And it's going to be serialized in the Mystery of Time magazine, do you think it's a problem?"

Zhang Chu used to be just a book reader, and he didn't know the inside story of writing and publishing, so he asked in hindsight at this time: "In addition, Sherlock Holmes is a character written by Mr. Conan Doyle, and I have now recreated it, how should this copyright be calculated?"

Gu Xinxue was not bored, he said: "According to the provisions of the Copyright Law, a work is only public property after a period of publication. In the UK, it takes 70 years after the author's death for the writer and his heirs to own the copyright to the work. In the U.S., on the other hand, the copyright is 95 years after publication, and in China it is 50 years. As long as it's not Sherlock Holmes-related in the United States, it doesn't matter. ”

The last of the Sherlock Holmes novels was published in 1927, which means that in most countries, the character of Sherlock Holmes, his series of stories, and related novels are already public property!

"I see, my "Sherlock" shouldn't be that tough. Zhang Chu was reassured, anyway, he didn't think about it that long-term at all, and exported the novel to the United States.

"Who can say for sure, anyway, under the operation of our company, your book is likely to become a dark horse in this year's mystery novel sales list!" Gu Xinxue was full of confidence, "Now that almost all the mystery book counters in the bookstore are occupied by foreign novels, the author and work of you who have attracted attention will have different repercussions." The domestic mystery novel world needs a writer like you!"

Even if Zhang Chu didn't know much about speculative novels, he was still made enthusiastic by Gu Xinxue's words, and he couldn't wait to roll up his sleeves and crack 30,000 words.

"Later, you can give me an email address, and I will send it to you after I finish writing, and then see if there is any need for revision, and discuss the issue of manuscript fees." ”

However, Gu Xinxue obviously didn't want to let go of this potential stock, so he said: "Normal submissions only need to start with tens of thousands of words, so that we can talk about the contract, and then hand over the follow-up manuscript after the contract is negotiated." ”

Now that "Sherlock" is popular among the Internet and reasoning enthusiasts, Gu Xinxue is worried about long nights and dreams, so it is better to settle down as soon as possible.

Now it's empty talk about nothing without works, after Zhang Chu finishes the college entrance examination, he has enough time and energy to code words!

For authors, choosing a publishing house is like marrying a girl, you have to be cautious.

Familiarize yourself with the strengths of this publishing house, but also be aware of its weaknesses.

Nanhai Publishing Company can see from this name that it is different from traditional publishing houses, it is already an authentic company, with the responsibility of making money, and its marketing methods are quite superb.

This is a company that is quite good at hype, and this time it has been hyped up as "if you haven't read this author's book, you're embarrassed to say that you are literate; if you haven't read this book, you won't have the face to greet people".

However, this is not a derogatory term in modern society, and what they hype up is not necessarily bad, if there is no Nanhai Publishing Company, how much excitement should readers miss?

If it weren't for such subtle hype, where would so many people read the same book?

For authors, a publishing house that can sell books is a good publishing house, and it just so happens that Nanhai Publishing Company is such a company that has the ability to sell books!

Now there are only 15 people rewarding, and the third watch is estimated to come out, so I beg the book friends to give a wave!
