Nowadays, what is the most scarce in all walks of life?

Talent.

Although the profession of writer has become more and more affordable with the advent of the information age.

Many people can lift the pen and write their own fantasies in their own space, Weibo, personal post bars, public fiction websites and other places.

But it is undeniable that there is also a threshold in this industry.

Just like drawing comics, with a little art foundation, you can draw a few good pictures.

However, in order to combine these paintings into a comic book with a story, it requires a deeper level of artistic attainment.

Su Li was not surprised that the magazine society threw an olive branch to himself.

He is confident in his writing, and has studied routines, and he is far ahead of other new authors on the threshold.

So, what to do at this time?

Su Li typed on the keyboard: Eh, can I be a newcomer? (Excited expression)

That's right, as a rookie author, you must not put any qualifications on the table and negotiate with others.

Newcomers should look like newcomers, learn to be humble, remember not to be arrogant, no matter what kind of workplace, the first impression is very important.

Yuan Yuan (paused): Teacher Crisp Pear is humble! You're not new to your level!

Su Li: However, I may only write about niche subjects......

Su Li got to the point.

Because, after all, the world is still dominated by women.

Therefore, in terms of literature, it must be more feminine.

For example, when Su Li browsed those original online novel websites before, he found that in the online text, the development of female frequency is very strong, and the main station is basically female frequency......

Completely upside down with another world.

This is also the reason why Su Li did not choose to develop online articles.

Although Su Li has written many novels, the theme of female orientation is ...... There is still a slight lack of pen power.

Su Li was a little worried about whether he would be popular with readers if he still wrote about the male themes he was good at.

Yuanyuan: (smiles) Teacher Crisp Pear is bad, there are no niche themes, only authors who can't write.

After a pause, she typed again: Even if you write a book that reverses men and women, men have become the mainstream in the book, and most of the people who bear social responsibilities are men...... As long as you can write and can depict a world that makes the reader fantasize, then you have succeeded, after all, the essence of fiction is fantasy - there are no niche stories, only authors who can't write.

At the end, she didn't forget to add: If Mr. Crisp Pear has a new work, you must consider "Fireworks on the Other Side"!

Su Li: (wiping a sweaty expression)

This editor's imagination is good, and this time it hits the heart, because there is indeed another world......

But now he was also relieved, and typed on the keyboard: I won't tell you, I do have prepared a new theme, and the estimated length is about 100,000 words, and I wrote an outline and the beginning of 2,000 words, but I haven't found a place to submit for the time being, and the protagonist of the story is a man......

Yuan Yuan immediately typed: Actor? Medium-length? It's okay, if you can trust me, send me the book and read it.

Su Li: (smiles) Okay.

He transferred the outline and beginning of "Genius Basketball Boy" to the past.

File in Transfer......

The other party accepts the document.

In the next time, Su Li waited quietly, waiting for the other party to respond.

In the world of literature, it is undeniable that there may be some disgraceful shady events, so the average writer will not easily hand over his manuscript to others.

Moreover, some people will also pretend to be editors to scam some newcomers into their manuscripts.

But Su Li believed that this stranger named "Yuanyuan" had only been chatting for a few minutes.

He has his own judgment, and the editor's words are true, and her love for fiction can be seen in her words, and such a person will not cheat the manuscript.

Ten minutes later.

Yuanyuan: The story is very ordinary.

Su Li: ......

Yuanyuan: But it's very simple, very real.

I was almost taken aback.

Su Lizhong breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, he thought he would not be able to pass it!

Yuanyuan: Really, it's hard to imagine, this is your new work! The writing technique is completely different, just look at an outline and the beginning, it's obviously a very unpretentious text, but the emotions hidden in the protagonist's heart almost made me cry again...... (exclamation emoji)

Su Li: Thank you...... (shy expression)

Yuan Yuan (suddenly typing): Teacher Crisp Pear, you should be a boy, right?

Su Li: Uh, how do you know? (Surprised expression)

Yuanyuan: You can see it! (Cute expression sticking out the tongue) There are very few girls who can write a boy so realistically.

Su Li: (a sweaty expression)

Well, this editor must be a girl.

After all, only girls have such a careful side......

Yuanyuan: This novel is okay! Teacher Crisp Pear, are you interested in investing in the novella section of our magazine?

Su Li: ......

Su Li blinked, he didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly.

Just as some comic magazines are serialized, in youth literature magazines, it is natural to set up some sections with serialization, which can improve the stickiness of readers to read their own magazines.

This type of section is generally selected for novels in the mid-length genre.

By the way, the concept of the length of the novel is popularized here.

Generally, a novel of 6,000 to 20,000 words is called a short story;

A novel of 30,000 to 100,000 words is called a novella;

More than 100,000 words are called novels.

This is a division in physical literature.

And the magazine's control of the medium-length section usually only chooses novels by old authors.

Because it is relatively short, the medium and long stories not only have to look at the writing, but also look at the control of the plot, and the new authors may have a very good writing, but in the middle and late stages, they are easy to grasp the plot, and there will be various problems such as Honkai settings, plot rampage, and hidden characters.

Not to mention, some people will serialize half of the series, and suddenly run away from the eunuch......

To be honest, Su Li also had a eunuch in his previous life, because he was about to graduate from college at that time, and he had no time to write novels again, so he had to cut a novel with a good future that was being serialized in half......

And the appearance of eunuch novels in magazines will definitely have an impact on their reputation.

Su Li: Yuan (groaned) ...... Sister Yuan, do you really want to believe me?

Yuanyuan: Although it is too stupid to put trust in a newcomer, it is ......

After a pause, she typed: I want to believe you! Anyone who can write such an innocent story will definitely be responsible for his work to the end! (Thumbs up emoji)

Su Li (silent for a moment): Thank you, Sister Yuan.

That's it.

Next, the two talked about the serialization of the novel.

Novellas are not eligible for essays, but can only be serialized in the novella section of the magazine.

In terms of remuneration, the remuneration for medium and long articles is more, about 350 yuan per thousand words, which is equivalent to a magazine buying out the novel.

At this time, Su Li has two incomes, and he can submit two short stories every month, as well as a medium-length serial.

All in all, the monthly income is about five or six thousand, and it is absolutely no problem to support yourself only by manuscript fees.

In addition, the novella also touches on a very nice thing.

Something that makes the work peripheral and IP-based.
