Chapter 435: Title of the book
After a period of tossing and hard work, Miyuki Kitagawa finally finished rectifying her own work. With the careful assistance of Masami Nagasawa, she realized that she had many shortcomings in her writing. As a result, his secondary two disease did not continue to worsen, but was cured to a certain extent.
"There are three cover images here, you can choose one." Masami Nagasawa, who had entered the finishing stage of the work, personally placed the computer-printed renderings of the three book cover covers in front of Miyuki Kitagawa.
Miyuki Kitagawa, who was sitting across from her, looked intently at the three book cover pictures on the round tempered glass tabletop. Soon, she had a tendency in her heart, and her right index finger pointed to the cover of the book cover in the middle and said, "I chose this one to be the cover of my first work." Not only does it look like it's a good fit for our age, but I really like the simplicity and sophistication it gives it. β
Masami Nagasawa, who is also inclined to this picture in her heart, has no doubt about her taste, after all, she grew up in a scholarly family, and the children in the upper elite families will be completely different from the children who grew up in the blue-collar class. Nodding her head, she expressed her approval, and smiled: "Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed." As your responsible editor, I'd like to give you two last points. First, your work is positioned as a popular novel, so don't be too subtle and literary in the name, and go straight to the topic. For example, "My National University Writer Father Mr. Takeshita Kusaoke". Although the title of the book is long, you can tell what is written in the book at a glance, and it also completely points out the selling point. The second is to let Mr., that is, your father, write a preface to your book by himself, and it will be perfect in front of the content. β
Miyuki Kitagawa, who lowered her head slightly, silently recited the title of "My National Writer's Father Mr. Takeshita Kusaoke" in her heart over and over again, which was so cheesy that she really couldn't accept it. She made up her mind, but did not accept the title, and proposed to make a change: "Sister Masami, I really can't convince myself to use the title of "My Father, Mr. Takeshita Kusaoke", a national writer. Kindness...... How about changing the title of the book to "Growing Up"? β
Judging from many years of experience in the industry, such a title belongs to Masami Nagasawa, who is not bright enough and cannot attract readers at once, of course, she knows that the word "growth" is too vague and too general, after all, anyone will grow, and everyone's growth is different. If you give the reader the illusion that a new writer is writing about a personal upbringing, it will be troublesome, after all, they will not care about the private lives of unknown people, but only about the private lives of celebrities.
Masami Nagasawa, who had been silent for a while, very seriously and responsibly put forward the need for a rectification: "Miyuki, your book does not belong to the category of Yan SΓΉ literature. So, the first priority is to consider the sales volume. In order for you to be an instant hit, we have to come up with something that can capture the hearts of readers at once, so that they can not only see your book at a glance, but also remember what the title of the book is. Only after arousing the reading ** in their hearts will they be prompted to pay for books. β
After a pause, she said thoughtfully: "Since you don't want to use the title of the book I told you, then don't force it, after all, it's just the direction of thought." Here, I would like to suggest that you do not use the title of "Growth", but change the title of the book with outstanding highlights. You're making your debut as a budding author, not as a well-known author, so no reader knows what you've done before this or what other work you've published. If you don't have die-hard fans and loyal followers, at the current age of fourteen, it really feels hard to trust. We first have to dispel a preconceived notion in our readers, then convince them that your writing is good and worth reading, and finally you are slowly building up a personal support group of supporters. β
Miyuki Kitagawa, who was not obstinate and self-serving, listened carefully to every word she said to herself. She listened to the other party's advice, on the one hand, she really wanted to prove her writing talent and talent, and on the other hand, she really didn't want her book to sell. Even if you don't want money, you have to save face.
Miyuki Kitagawa, who doesn't want others to say that she can't do it, of course understands the meaning of Masami Nagasawa's words is to let herself use the fame of her father's national writer. However, she was entangled in her heart, but she didn't want to use her father's aura to shine, so as to show her strength in a dignified manner to win recognition.
"Miyuki, that person is your father, and it's not someone else's name to fake the fox. Many writers want to pull the tiger skin and pull the banner, but they can't. If you have a ready-made one, then it's a complete waste. Moreover, readers are not stupid. If you can't write well, they won't buy it after they read it. Only if you write well will you eventually motivate them to make a purchase. Borrowing the name of Mr. is just a legitimate means to attract readers first. As for whether to buy or not, it still depends on the quality of the work. Masami Nagasawa, who thought she didn't understand her true intentions, said it very bluntly on the one hand, and on the other hand, she was extremely persuasive.
"Sister Yami, I listen to you. As for the title of the book, how about changing it to "My Dad"? I believe that she won't harm her Beichuan Miyuki, but she feels that she is reasonable, so she makes a big concession.
"Okay. The title of the book was set as "My Dad", and the subtitle was, Mr. Takeshita Kusaoke, our national writer. For this, you have no objection, right? Masami Nagasawa, who knows best where the selling point of this book is, continued to ask for her opinion.
Miyuki Kitagawa, who nodded, but didn't make a sound, although she was reluctant in her heart, had to accept it. Thinking about it for myself, I was relieved a lot. As Masami Nagasawa said, her appearance as a 14-year-old rookie writer who has not published any novels is really hard for readers to trust that she can do. With the help of the title of father, it will be completely qualitatively changed, so that the reader has a preconceived awareness of a tiger father without a dog girl. (To be continued.) )
