Hearing this evaluation, Xiao Fei first went to observe Teacher Dai's face. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The look on her face did not seem polite.
According to Xiao Fei's understanding of Teacher Dai, she is not the kind of person who is vain, she has one thing to say, and she is the most sincere and refreshing.
"Teacher Dai, do you think they will want this long article if it is submitted to the harvest?" What Xiao Fei wants to know most is this.
Dai Houying was silent for a moment, brushed his hair with his hand, and said, "What do you say?" The harvest on this book is more than enough, but now so many famous people in China are staring at this magazine, unless it is a particularly famous big-name writer may not have to queue up, the manuscript can be sent over, but for the general author, if the editor thinks that the novel is not particularly good, the general author does not enjoy this treatment, even if the editorial department finally thinks that it can be published in the magazine, then it is estimated that you have to wait in line, the waiting time is long and short, the long one or two years may not be able to go up, and the short will have to wait at least half a year. ”
Xiao Fei naturally heard what Dai Houying said, and he was mentally prepared.
There are so many writers in China who are not squeezing their heads to harvest, but the harvest is only this bi-monthly magazine, which can only be published every two months.
Generally speaking, there will be a long story, two or three novellas, a number of short stories, literary criticism, essays, and so on. And the content in the first phase of the harvest is only 400,000 words.
I really can't publish the works of a few writers.
Wolves have more meat and less meat! The competition is so fierce!
A young writer like Xiao Fei, even if his work is good enough, the editor will hesitate again and again in the face of this 300,000-word long article.
The difficulty is not ordinary, that's for sure.
Xiao Fei thought about it himself, and felt that it was quite difficult, and his hope was very slim.
But if he gives up because of difficulties, it is really not Xiao Fei's character, he thinks, he has to give it a try anyway, if he wants to become an instant hit, he can only use the platform of harvesting.
He thought about it, and suddenly something came to mind.
That is, the current harvest has not yet begun to publish a special issue of novels.
In the previous life, the harvest was to launch a special issue of novels in 2001, and publish one issue each year in two volumes, spring, summer, autumn and winter.
There will be three or four novels in each issue.
The novel special number has formed a sub-brand of harvest in the previous life, and it is still very popular with literature lovers.
Well, is it now possible to tell the editorial department about the idea of publishing a special issue for a novel? By the way, I will solve the problem that it is difficult to publish a long story in the harvest.
Thinking of this, Xiao Fei was sure in his heart.
Dai Houying, who was on the side, looked at Xiao Fei pondering, feeling that she couldn't help this talented young man more, and she was a little ashamed.
"Xiao Fei, if you want to make a long story in the harvest, the difficulty is indeed a bit big, you see, let me recommend it for you, if it can be published in "SH Literature", how about it?" Dai Houying asked.
"Actually, it's not impossible to go directly to the road of publishing house, SH Literature and Art Publishing House, Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House, I also have friends I know, these are all big publishing houses, and I can help you get in touch."
Even if a novel is published in a large literary journal, it is necessary to find a publisher to publish a single book.
In fact, publishing a single book sometimes seems to be a little more lofty than publishing in a journal.
But if Xiao Fei is allowed to choose, Xiao Fei still wants to try his best to be on the big platform of harvesting, shake the literary world first, and then choose the best publishing house to cooperate with a single book, at that time, driven by the sensational effect, the book will sell better and have a greater influence.
"Teacher Dai, I still want to try the harvest." Xiao Fei said with a smile.
"You kid, you're really a bit stubborn, but Harvest is indeed a good platform, try it if you want to, tomorrow is Monday, I can take you to their editorial office to visit Editor-in-Chief Xiao." Dai Houying tapped Xiao Fei with his finger and said helplessly.
That's what the two of them said.
It was already past six o'clock in the evening.
Teacher Dai's younger brother and sister-in-law heard about what happened in the afternoon at their house, and they also hurried back, they heard that it was Xiao Fei who saved their daughter, and they said a lot of words of gratitude to him.
Dinner was eaten at Dai's house.
After dinner, Dai Houying called Xiao Fei to the study and talked for a while.
At almost 9 o'clock in the evening, Xiao Fei said goodbye and left.
Early the next morning, Xiao Fei had breakfast and went to Teacher Dai's house. When I walked downstairs to her house, I met Dai Hui coming downstairs.
It turned out that she was instructed by Teacher Dai to go to the hotel where Xiao Fei lived to find Xiao Fei to come over for breakfast.
"Xiao Fei, it's quite a coincidence, I was about to ask you to come to the house for dinner, and you came over." Dai Hui still has gauze wrapped around her neck and face, but her spirit is much better.
"I just ate outside, Dai Hui, you're going to feel better, right?"
"Well, it's much better."
The two went upstairs, and when they arrived at Dai's house, they were humble again, Dai Houying heard that Xiao Fei had already eaten, and he was quite angry: "You kid, didn't I tell you last night?" In the future, they will come to eat at home, and the food outside is unhygienic. ”
When Dai Houying had eaten, it was only past 8 o'clock in the morning. The two took the bus and rushed to the harvest editorial office repeatedly.
Yesterday, Dai Houying had already called a Cheng editor of the magazine to pass the gas, which was considered to have been booked in advance.
When Xiao Fei followed Dai Houying to the downstairs where the editorial office was located, Editor Cheng was already waiting there, and when he saw Dai Houying coming, he hurriedly came over and shook hands with her warmly.
"Hello Mr. Dai, what a rare guest."
"Teacher Cheng, I'm bothering you today."
"Hey, what did Mr. Dai say, I look forward to you coming over every day, how is it, is there a new work recently? If you have a good work, don't forget to vote for the harvest. ”
When the two were greeting, Xiao Fei was watching from the side.
Editor Cheng is of medium stature, with a loud voice, hearty and enthusiastic, and when he was talking to Dai Houying, he also nodded and smiled at Xiao Fei, and his eyes took care of everything.
"Teacher Cheng, this is Xiao Fei I told you on the phone yesterday, this young man is really amazing, the sketch prose is written first-class, he has written his own unique style, and the novel is also very good, the narration skills, character portrayal, story telling, and ideological elucidation are all refined." Dai Houying did not hesitate to praise Xiao Fei and promoted Xiao Fei to Editor Cheng.
Editor Cheng shook Xiao Fei's hand and said with a smile: "Teacher Dai doesn't praise people easily, it seems that you must have something truly outstanding, I am looking forward to your work." ”
As Cheng entered the office, he sat down on the sofa.
Cheng editor Zhang Luo took the tea, and then sat down with him, he looked at Xiao Fei, and said quietly: "Xiao Fei, I have seen your works, and I have also seen Mr. Dai's comments on your prose sketches, and your prose is really well written." At the age of 19, if you can write such thick prose, your future prospects are limitless. (To be continued.) )
