Chapter 96: Liu Zelai's letter
ps: The author has been working hard to change more, so that now the manuscript can't be saved, and book friends please support me a lot! Thanks.
"Huh? Whose letter is this? Huang Wenfeng glanced at the harvest magazine and the letter from the Z City Evening News in Li Tangqiu's hand, and asked.
"Xiao Fei's letter." Li Tangqiu replied with his eyes fixed on the envelope sent by the harvest.
"Could it be that Xiao Fei contributed to the harvest?" Huang Wenfeng asked again.
Harvest is one of the few well-selling pure literary magazines in China, and there is no other literary magazine in China that can match it in terms of circulation and retail sales, except for the monthly novel.
The monthly novel is still an anthology, not an original.
There are almost no young people with a little literary temperament in this era who have not been edified by harvest. Huang Wenfeng naturally read and harvested.
He also knows the weight of the harvest in the domestic literary world. That's why I walked over after looking at the harvested envelope.
"I don't know." Li Tangqiu said, "However, Xiao Fei's article level can't be harvested, right? Xiao Fei is now writing some small pieces of articles such as feelings and essays, and the harvest is all novels, all of which are works by domestic literary masters and literary rookies, and the quality is a little worse. ”
Of course, Li Tangqiu doesn't believe that Xiao Fei's works can be on the big platform of harvesting, isn't that against the sky? In the entire Heyang County, except for a few writers who go out, is there anyone who can harvest?
No!
Many writers in this province have worked hard all their lives, and there are many who want to gain but can't.
Li Tangqiu thought to himself, it must be Xiao Fei who sent a letter of suggestion to the harvest as a reader or something, and the editorial department pulled it out from thousands of letters and gave a reply.
That's it, it's already rare.
"Oh." Huang Wenfeng walked away and said no more.
Li Tangqiu looked at his watch at this time, it was already the end of the second class, and he only had to hand over the task of distributing letters to the students in the class, but now, he decided to go to the class in person.
Li Tangqiu took the letter into the class and distributed it.
After sending out the other students, he took a look and saw that Xiao Fei was still sitting in his seat, talking to Yan Zhang, so he walked over and said with a smile: "Xiao Fei, there is your letter." ”
As he spoke, he placed the two letters on the table.
When Yan Zhang saw Li Tangqiu coming, he sneered and walked away from Xiao Fei, similar to a mouse who had seen a cat.
Xiao Fei picked up the letter on the table and looked at it, and saw that it was sent by Harvest and Z City Evening News, and that Harvest sent it was still an urgent registration, and thought, Bacheng told me that the news of my work was to be sent.
What is this evening newspaper?
It is by no means a sample report, if the sample newspaper will not be so thin, it is estimated that Liu Zelai wrote a letter to himself for something.
Xiao Fei wrote a letter to Liu Zelai when he was about to repeat his studies at school, and changed his mailing address, and what he left for Harvest was simply the address of Heyang No. 1 Middle School.
I didn't expect to receive the letter so quickly at the new address.
"Let's see what this letter says." Li Tangqiu put down the letter and did not leave, but urged Xiao Fei with a smile.
It seems that he has no intention of leaving until his curiosity is satisfied.
Xiao Fei tore open the letter, took out the letter inside, read it, and found that it was exactly what he expected, that is, the news that the work was about to be published.
This is an official notice.
It also means that if there is no irreversible factor in the near future, it is already certain that he will be on the harvest twice in succession.
Xiao Fei breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
"What are you talking about? It must be a good thing, right? Look at you so happy. Li Tangqiu said on the side.
This matter can't be hidden from Li Tangqiu and others, and when his work is harvested and published, it is estimated that everyone will know that Xiao Fei has no intention of hiding it, and it is not interesting to hide it.
He was just about to speak, but Li Tangqiu spoke again.
"Huh! You must have written to Harvest before, with some advice, and then they wrote back to you, right? Li Tangqiu said what he thought.
As soon as Li Tangqiu said this, Xiao Fei changed his mind again. Since he said so himself, then don't take the initiative to say it yourself, so as not to be suspicious of showing off.
He nodded vaguely, sort of coping with it.
When Li Tangqiu saw Xiao Fei nodding, he smiled proudly: "Hahaha!" I think that's the case, Xiao Fei, you are really lucky, the editorial department receives hundreds of letters every day, and you can be replied to, which is more difficult than winning the jackpot! ”
Laughing, Li Tangqiu, who satisfied his curiosity, walked away.
Xiao Fei put away the received letters, and thought about writing a reply to Editor Cheng to express his gratitude after the meeting.
He tore open Liu Zelai's letter and pulled out the contents inside.
Liu Zelai's letter said that the Literature and Art Publishing House of Hexi Province (later H Province will be directly called Hexi Province, and Z City will be called Zhongyuan City) took a fancy to Xiao Fei's prose column published in the Central Plains Evening News and wanted to publish a collection of essays for Xiao Fei.
Liu Ze said that the Hexi Literature and Art Publishing House attaches great importance to the publication of Xiao Fei's prose collections, and in early September, his classmate from the publishing house took him to Heyang to meet Xiao Fei for a while, and if possible, then immediately signed a publishing agreement.
If you can't negotiate, then it's okay, let's make friends together.
However, Liu Zelai still persuaded Xiao Fei to hand over the collection of essays to the Hexi Literature and Art Society for operation, which is also beneficial to Xiao Fei's future growth and development.
Hexi Literature and Art Publishing House has promised that if the collection sells well after it comes out, it will hold a seminar on Xiao Fei's works and invite famous domestic critics to participate in the discussion.
This will attract the attention of the domestic literary world to focus on him.
Xiao Fei closed the letter and was very grateful to Liu Zelai. It's trying to push yourself out.
Hexi Literature and Art Publishing House is the only large-scale publishing institution in Hexi Province that specializes in the publication of literary works, but compared with publishing houses in other provinces in China, its current situation is not very good.
The main reason is that there have been no important works launched in recent years, and the economic benefits have declined sharply.
For the operation of his works, Xiao Fei has more ambitious plans for the future, but it is not impossible for this collection of essays to be handed over to Hexi Literature and Art Publishing House.
Let's take a look at the market with a book first.
Also, make friends with Hexi Literature and Art Publishing House, and when you implement your own package in the future, I am afraid that there are still many places to borrow from others.
However, the actual situation now is that his essays have only been published more than 30 so far, which is not enough for a book, and a collection of essays like his 1,000-word essays has to be combined into a book of 180 essays to look like this.
I can't care so much, I'll talk about it when they come over.
