For He An in this matter, the midterm exam is not his main concern now, after all, he is only talking about the first year of junior high school now, and it is still early to take the college entrance examination.

Speaking of this guaranteed place He An did not mean that he would rely on this to enter the university in the future, this guaranteed place was from Li Fengmian's state university, speaking of the state university He An actually didn't have much impression, he still wanted to go to the university in Kyoto in his heart, and this state university was at most his own alternative.

Now the most important thing for He An is to find a way to get a start-up capital, after all, it is now about to enter 99 years, and now various industries are already in a state of awakening, if you don't start now, it will be much more difficult in the future.

For him, as a student, the only way to make money is to write books, which is low-key and will not affect his learning.

Speaking of writing a book, He An has been planning for a long time, and the purpose of going to the New Concept Anthology Contest is not to guarantee the quota, but to be able to make a name for himself in this competition, so as to pave the way for writing a book later.

If you go to a publishing house or magazine to submit a manuscript in the name of a Xiaobai, even if your manuscript is good, it is very likely that you will be rejected, and now you only need to recount a new concept anthology competition at the end of the manuscript to say something like He An, the first prize of the New Concept Anthology Competition, then it will definitely attract the attention of the reviewer editor.

After the foreshadowing was done, He An began to prepare for the writing of the manuscript, and for the sake of safety, He An finally decided to do the position of the copyist. If you say that it sounds good, it is a literary thief, and if you say it is ugly, it is plagiarism!

For Wen Copy, in fact, there is some resistance in He An's heart, after all, this is plagiarizing other people's success.

But now the situation is special, and for the sake of my own safety in the future, I can't take care of these things for the time being.

Most contemporary writers start by publishing tofu cubes or short stories in magazines, after all, they are not famous, and if you go directly to the publishing house to submit your manuscript, the publishing house will not pay attention to you at all.

Although the cost of submitting an article to a magazine is not high, it can help you build up popularity. When the author's popularity reaches a certain height, the publisher will take the initiative to talk to you about publishing without waiting for you to submit.

He An is no exception, if you want a book to become popular, the accumulation of popularity in the early stage is quite important.

After thinking about it for a long time, He An chose Guo Xiaosi's first novel "Phantom City" for his first book.

Although the novel "Phantom City" is Guo Xiaosi's first book, his own unique writing style has been extremely evident in this book, and this book has caused a great sensation in society, especially on campus, as soon as it was released.

In less than a year, a total of 500,000 copies were published, and 500,000 copies were a myth in the era of rampant piracy.

Another reason for choosing this book is that the style of this book also matches my age at this time, not to mention that if a high school student writes a masterpiece like "Ordinary World", it will be ridiculous and generous.

He An's plan in the early stage was to serialize it in the magazine, He An has read the novel here in Phantom City many times, and the main line and branch content in it are very clear to remember, plus Guo Xiaosi's style is extremely luxurious, and the rhetoric is gorgeous, these are also very easy to imitate. It's not too difficult to write.

The total number of words in the novel "Phantom City" is only more than 100,000 words, which is barely a long story, which also saves He An a lot of effort.

It didn't take much effort, He An could easily write 8,000 words in line with the style of Guo Xiaosi in later generations. In this era, computers are still extremely expensive, and it is impossible for many families to install them, so the manuscript can only be written word by word.

After writing the first draft, He An made deletions and revisions, and then he was ready to choose the direction of submission.

In the 90s in China, fiction magazines had not yet been impacted by the giant of the Internet, so they were still very popular at that time.

Speaking of fiction magazines, the "Story Club" is the overlord inside. The style of the story club is mostly short, shallow and white, is its main style, after all, this is for the public, and the literary nature is not strong. There are very few serials, although its circulation is quite large, but He An still gave up the submission of the story meeting, after all, his manuscript is a small and fresh piece of literature.

Removing the story meeting, there are more novel magazines in the second category, such as "Novel Monthly", "Yilin" and "Youth Digest", which are oriented to campus literature, which is also He An's main direction.

Again, some are magazines such as "Sprout" and "Fireworks" that focus on youth fantasy.

When it comes to "Sprout", He An began to hesitate, if he submitted his manuscript there, it would definitely be no problem for him to win the first prize in the event they held, not only that, but he would even push himself. But the reason for He An's hesitation is that the circulation of Sprout Magazine is not very large at this time, and if it is serialized there, it may not achieve the effect he wants.

The highest circulation of "Sprout" in the 98s was about 30-500,000 copies, and the circulation of Youth Digest was three or even four times that of it, which had to make He An think twice.

After weighing it repeatedly, He An finally decided to vote the novel "Phantom City" to Sprout Magazine, after all, their editor-in-chief Liu Xiyao can be regarded as having a good understanding of him, so he can also do something for their magazine this time.

In the letter, He An did not write his information in too much detail, after all, adding the first prize or the like is a bit of a show.

He An just wrote He An in Yangxia No. 1 Middle School at the end of the article, just these few words, Liu Xiyao will definitely think of himself.

Then He An gave himself a pen name - Gu Nian! The reason why I gave this pen name is that I miss it, and it happens to be my mother's surname.

No matter how He An is, he doesn't want to expose himself to the spotlight completely, and making a fortune in a muffled voice is the king.

Preparing to stop for a while, He An stuffed the manuscript into an envelope, then bought a stamp, and threw it into the post office. After a few busy days, He An began to look forward to the other party's reply to the phone or email.
