Chapter 061: The Charm of the Rebirth Stream
Zhou Yun is the preliminary editor of Kyushu Reading, 22 years old she just graduated, she studied book editing in college, although the Hunan University of Science and Technology is also a good university, but it is not the main reason why she can enter Kyushu as a preliminary editor just after graduation.
As mentioned earlier, Kyushu Reading and Tianxia Books are the second largest publishing houses (in the novel world) after Oracle, and such large publishing houses generally do not recruit fresh graduates as editors.
The most important reason why Zhou Yun can enter Kyushu to study is that her aunt is an editor-in-chief of Kyushu Study, but even so, Zhou Yun, who has just graduated less than a year ago, can only be a preliminary editor.
The editing system of Kyushu Reading is the same as that of most publishing houses, which is divided into preliminary editors, review editors, and final editors, and the final editors are generally served by the editor-in-chief of each editorial group.
In the afternoon, Zhou Yun went to work as usual, and the first thing she did at work was to log in to her email address and refresh it every few moments.
Sure enough, Zhou Yun only refreshed it a few times, and then saw more than a dozen new book manuscripts in the mailbox.
Zhou Yun opened the manuscripts of the dozen or so new books one by one, first putting the manuscripts without the author's contact information into the trash, and then putting into the trash the manuscripts that were not attractive in terms of titles and introductions.
There are six manuscripts that look legitimate.
Zhou Yun looked at the titles of these six manuscripts, one "Ugly Swordsman", one "Meteor Sword", one "Sword Like a Dream", one "Jinghua Martial Arts", one "Gun", and one with a relatively long title "Rebirth Dacheng Sword".
Judging from the title of the book, Zhou Yun felt that the first five books should be able to pass the review, as for the long title of the book "The Great Adult Sword of Rebirth", Zhou Yun frowned, he didn't know what the title of the book meant, what the hell was rebirth? What is the Dacheng sword?
Cast a mist before somebody's eyes!
Zhou Yun frowned, judging in her heart. If it weren't for the fact that the author's information of this book was relatively complete and the introduction was written relatively smoothly, Zhou Yun would have put this book into the trash just now.
"Let's try this first! Take a look at the first chapter! ”
Zhou Yun muttered to himself and began to review "The Great Adult Sword of Rebirth" first. This is a habit of her review, first reviewing some manuscripts that she is not optimistic about in the shortest possible time, and then slowly reviewing those works that she feels are promising for publication.
Title: The Sword of Rebirth
Genre: Martial arts
Author: Iwami
Introduction: It has been many years since Liu Ruosong died under Ding Peng's knife, Wansong Villa has long disappeared, and the descendants of the Liu family have only Liu Wuwu, he is the grandson of Liu Ruosong, who has been miserable since childhood, but he is determined to take revenge and restore the glory of his ancestors Wansong Villa! For more than 30 years, while secretly inquiring about the news of Ding Peng's descendants, he visited famous teachers all over the world, learned a variety of superior martial arts, and even obtained the secret of the supreme treasure book "Dacheng Sword" of practicing qi warriors, but unfortunately, he had not found Ding Peng's descendants, nor had he practiced the Dacheng Sword on the secret book, so he met with the leader of the Demon Sect and died under the Sunflower Treasure Book.
But death is not the end!
Liu Wuwu found that he had returned to his childhood, his father had not died, and his mother had not taken him to remarry, and his life could be remarried! He can start practicing the Dacheng Sword from a young age!
The former enemy, the beauty who once missed for revenge, he will not let go again!
……
After reading the introduction, Zhou Yun blinked, and became more interested in this manuscript, "Death is not the end", "Back to childhood"?
Can you go back to your childhood and start over after you die?
Zhou Yun somewhat understood what the word "rebirth" meant in the title of the book, and finally understood what the hell "Dacheng Sword" was, it turned out to be a particularly powerful martial arts secret.
"The profile is not bad!"
Commenting softly, Zhou Yun's review attitude became a little more serious, and he began to read the first chapter of this manuscript.
She had planned to sentence the book to life and death after reading only the first chapter, but after reading the first chapter for a few hundred words, she was attracted by the novelty of the book.
The writing is not outstanding, but the reading is quite smooth, but the creativity of a generation of masters who were reborn into their childhood really attracted Zhou Yun.
For a manuscript of about 50,000 words, if Zhao Yan wants to be creative, he has to rack his brains to write an outline, and he has to consider what style to use and where to start the first plot, and then he has to write, delete and delete day after day, and after he writes, Xiao Mengyue has to help him revise it again. It took more than a month of thought and time.
But Zhou Yun, as a review editor, read it all in less than an hour.
That's the difference between writing and seeing!
After reading it, Zhou Yun was still immersed in this novel story for a while, frowning slightly, sitting in front of the computer with one hand on his cheek, his eyes a little scattered.
Judging from the writing, the standard of this book can only be regarded as average, and the words used in the writing are all vernacular that cannot be more white, just like a person sitting next to you and telling you a story in everyday language, talking about the rise, and occasionally bursting out a sentence or two.
Zhou Yun picked up the ballpoint pen at hand and wrote "Writing: 6 points" on the manuscript paper.
Write "creative" again:
After thinking about it, I hesitated to write down a 9 after the word "creative".
Then he writes "Storyline: The plot is smooth, engaging, and readable!" Can't stop reading it! 8 points. ”
After writing these comments, Zhou Yun bit her lip and thought about it for a while, and finally made a decision to send a copy of Zhao Yan's manuscript to her aunt's mailbox, and then suddenly got up with the manuscript paper and walked quickly to her aunt's office.
"Knock knock!" Knock.
"Enter!"
Zhou Yun unscrewed the office door and walked in quickly.
"Auntie!"
There was only her aunt in the office, and Zhou Yun called her aunt directly, not like she called Editor-in-Chief Zhou in front of outsiders.
Aunt Zhou Yun looks like she is in her early forties, she looks ordinary, but she is very bookish, wearing a pair of tortoiseshell glasses, when Zhou Yun enters the door, she looks at a manuscript on the computer, and when she sees Zhou Yun coming in, Zhou Xiaoyun smiled.
"It's Xiaoyun! Is there anything going on with my aunt? ”
Zhou Xiaoyun took off his glasses and stretched out his hand to signal Zhou Yun to sit.
Zhou Yun didn't sit down, but went directly around the desk, came to her aunt's side, put the manuscript paper in her hand in front of her aunt, pointed to the comments on the manuscript paper, and said quickly: "Aunt! I just discovered a very creative new book! The writing is average, but the creativity and storyline are fantastic! I've sent the manuscript to your mailbox, and I want you to review this manuscript first! If you think it's okay, I suggest we sign this manuscript as soon as possible! ”
Publishing houses of all sizes have always stated that they refuse to submit more than one manuscript, but in fact, they also know that few authors will submit their manuscripts one by one, and they usually submit their manuscripts to several publishing houses at once.
For this reason, if an editor finds a high-quality manuscript, it is generally recommended that the editor-in-chief give priority to the review, in order to get the final review result as soon as possible and sign the high-quality manuscript before other publishers.
Zhou Xiaoyun laughed when he heard this.
"Really? Little rhyme! How many times have you recommended this to me? The manuscripts you recommended in the first few times have a low approval rate! ”
Zhou Yun's face turned red when she heard this, she is a newcomer studying in Kyushu, and like many newcomers, Zhou Yun is also eager to show her talent as soon as possible, and prove her vision of reviewing manuscripts to her colleagues and above.
"Auntie! This time, the idea of this manuscript is really amazing! Just look at it! I'd like to give this manuscript a 10 for its creativity! Based on my experience in reading books for so many years, I have never seen such a novel idea! Aunt! Just take a look! I promise! As soon as you read the synopsis and the first chapter, you'll love this book! ”
Zhou Xiaoyun was a little surprised, Zhou Yun had recommended the manuscript to her before, but she had never given so many beautiful words.
Zhou Xiaoyun was finally aroused.
"Alright! You're right! Just look at the synopsis and the first chapter! If you can't impress me, you won't be allowed to continue bothering my aunt! ”
Zhou Yun's mouth opened slightly, and she suddenly realized that she seemed to have said the wrong thing just now, but thinking of the novel idea of this new book, she had confidence again, nodded heavily, and said, "Okay!" Just look at the synopsis and the first chapter! ”
