Chapter 16 Sky-high Manuscript Fees and Initial Royalties

Yoichi Igarashi looked in the direction of Miu's fingers and found that the TV in the living room was still stuck at the same TV station that was about to show the anime that his novel had changed, and he didn't expect Aya Uesugi to be such a die-hard fan.

No wonder Miwa Ide would know that Aya Uesugi was a fan of Yoichi Igarashi, and it was also guessed that Yoichi Igarashi would not hide Aya Uesugi for too long.

"It's quite unexpected." Yoichi Igarashi was very direct about how he felt right now.

"I'm really happy to have such fans, so in order to be able to have more fans like this in Neon, Mr. Igarashi, I hope that the purpose of my coming today can be realized." Miwa Ide said to Yoichi Igarashi.

"Let's talk about your sincerity, I believe that you will not be the only publisher interested in me in Neon."

Yoichi Igarashi sat down, and Miwa Ide sat down with her.

As for his ability to write novels, Yoichi Igarashi has no doubts at all.

Although it was because of his sister studying in Neon before, Yoichi Igarashi had no intention of developing in Neon, after all, the domestic market is also very objective.

However, his sister Yozuki fled back to China and had to deal with the follow-up in person, coupled with meeting fans like Aya Uesugi, so that Yoichi Igarashi had to pay attention to his development in Neon.

"Yes, indeed, but I can guarantee that our Immortal River Bookstore is the most sincere of all the publishing houses, and it is also the first to take action, and the change in animation speaks for itself." Miwa Ide also has her self-confidence, and what she says is the truth, and there is no exaggeration.

"I don't have the slightest doubt about this, but Miss Ide, you're the new editor of the Immortal River Bookstore, can you really run my new work well?" I don't have any doubts about the platform.,Now it's time to ask Miwa Ide about his ability to work.。

"I really need Igarashi-sensei's new work to open the way for my career, but it's a win-win situation for us, and I hope Igarashi-sensei can trust me for once."

It's true that the new editor doesn't have any achievements, but Miyu Ide, who was able to come here to visit Yoichi Igarashi, must have ambitions in her heart, and Yoichi Igarashi's new work is her "weapon".

"Tell me about the treatment you can get." Since the other party had such ambitions, Yoichi Igarashi didn't feel anything wrong and began to think about his own interests.

"Neon's manuscript fee is relatively fair, but in view of Igarashi-sensei's grades in your country, the manuscript fee that can be given to you here is 6,000 yen per manuscript." Miu Ide introduces the situation of the manuscript fee for Yoichi Igarashi.

After hearing this, Igarashi nodded, this price is still a little different from the domestic one.

However, when I was in China, Igarashi Yoichi stayed up for a long time to have this kind of manuscript fee. And in Neon, for a new author who has never published an article or participated in a novel competition, such a manuscript fee is basically a sky-high remuneration.

Moreover, this is only the manuscript fee, and Igarashi has not said anything about the other piece of Ide Miyu that he saw at night.

Miyu Ide saw that Yoichi Igarashi didn't speak, and knew that Yoichi Igarashi didn't take the manuscript fee too seriously.

"I'm sorry, but I can't help you much with Igarashi-sensei in terms of royalties, so if the novel is published normally, the royalty is 12%."

Miu Ide was able to get a price of 6,000 yen for a manuscript for Yoichi Igarashi, a writer who is a novice in the neon novel world, in terms of manuscript fees, which is already very benevolent.

It's just that royalties are not something that a newly recruited editor like Miyu Iride can decide, but it depends on the results of the novel's publishing.

Now Igarashi Yoichi's new work has not been decided.,It's still a bit too early to set a high royalty.。

"Where's room for improvement?" After wanting to publish a novel in Neon, Yoichi Igarashi still learned about the situation in the neon novel world. The 12% royalty is only the most basic in the original category, but what Yoichi Igarashi wants to know is where the upper limit is.

"500,000 copies is 14 percent, 1 million copies is 16 percent, two million copies is 18 percent, and then it's the top 20 percent." Miwa Ide is very detailed, but such a vector is not easy to achieve.

Because neon is different from the country of Igarashi Yoichi, the population base is too small, and Japan is not only developed in the light novel industry, but also in the manga industry.

So, apart from those top writers and cartoonists, there are very few new authors who can become gods in one book.

"Is it 20% after two million copies? It's still a little bit difficult. "If Miwa Ide gave a top-notch royalty as soon as he came, then Yoichi Igarashi had to consider whether the environment in the neon novel world was suitable for him to develop.

"Mr. Igarashi, I'm full of confidence that you can get the top taxes."

"Now that I have the editor's affirmation, I am also full of confidence."

"I don't know when your new work will have a beginning, Mr. Igarashi, but our publishing house also wants to read the article." After deciding on the manuscript fee and royalties, Miwa Ide began to perform the duties of an editor and began to urge the manuscript.

"When what I need comes, the beginning that your publisher needs will be able to write it quickly."

Since Yoichi Igarashi promised to do so, Miwa Ide didn't continue to urge, and she didn't ask what she needed to wait for to start writing, after all, everyone needs to have a secret.

"Well, I'm looking forward to it with the publisher."

At this time, Aya Uesugi, who was in charge of the family's three meals a day, came over and said to the two of them, "Lunch is ready, it's time to eat." ”

Lunch was actually made by the tenants here, which was a bit unexpected by Miwa Ide, but she didn't come here for lunch today. And seeing Igarashi Yaichi like this, he didn't have any intention of going out to eat, so he said: "I don't need it today, I have to go back and prepare for Igarashi-sensei's work to publish novels, and I'll invite Igarashi-sensei to dinner when I have time in the future." Of course, the same is true for Miss Uesugi. ”

"Skipping meals?" I thought that Miwa Ide, the editor, would stay, and Aya Uesugi's lunch was a bit too much.

"Thank you Miss Uesugi for your kindness, I'll take my leave today, goodbye." I've basically negotiated with Yaichi Igarashi.,It's really going back to prepare.。

After Igarashi Night sent Miwa Ide away, he came back and said, "Two people can eat a little more." ”
