"The Goncourt Literary Prize won for "Imperial Epic", and "Seven Days of Hell" unfortunately failed."

Evening.

There was a little moisture blowing outside the window.

It's raining today, it's getting dark early, and the lights are already lit up in the nearby community and the city in the distance.

In the study again, the computer sat in front of me for most of the day.

At this time, Ji Zhuo ended today's code words, and after checking the typo,

I turned off the codeword software, and by the way, I glanced at the news.

Looking at this hot search and related news on social platforms, Ji Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief.

His loyal readers regret not regretting that Ji Zhuo does not know,

Anyway, Ji Zhuo is not sorry.

At least he doesn't have to make excuses not to attend the awards at the same time.

It can't be that last time it was the dog author who didn't participate, this time it's ABC who didn't participate.

That's not going to work.

The dog author is going to show up, and it's always a bit weak in that situation.

That's fine.

Exhaled again.

Ji Zhuo didn't click on the news anymore to see the intense, enthusiastic discussion between the readers of the dog author and the readers of ABC.

Ji Zhuo turned off the computer and stood up.

Standing in the living room,

Looking at the sky outside the window through the window, Ji Zhuo turned his head and looked at the "Star Dream" still piled up in the room,

He has signed half of the 2,000 copies in the past few days.

After a pause, he decided to eat takeout in the evening.

"Jade into a vessel, I wish the family happiness."

Holding the pen and pausing, Ji Zhuo continued to sign "Star Dream".

Although they all call him a dog author, there are several pen names under the dog author.

"Star Dream" was issued under the pseudonym of Yuchengqi.

"Jade into a vessel, wish ......"

While tirelessly, repeatedly signing the name.

Ji Zhuo was thinking about some other things in his mind at the same time,

For example, the submission of a new book, "The Ordinary and the Great".

After so many days,

In the 'ordinary' chapter of "Ordinary and Great", Ji Zhuo has written a lot,

It's about forty or fifty thousand words.

Now it's time to think about the submission.

The previous plan was to find a small publishing house in Europa,

Europa, the next thing will be the main battleground for dog authors and ABC's new book.

'I''s new book is a good place to 'take a beating'.

And he doesn't seem to know any other small publishing houses, so he has to look for them again.

So signed.

Until the delivery man delivers the takeaway.

Ji Zhuocai touched his mobile phone while eating.

Search engines use directly,

Start looking for a publisher.

……

"Hmmm......"

After searching around, Ji Zhuo paused again.

It's not that you can't find foreign publishers on the Internet.

The question is...... I can't find the kind of small publishing house that Ji Zhuo is looking for.

When I searched it out, in addition to the official websites of those big publishing houses,

It's the answer to some online posts, and what else do you need to take stock of the news.

Click in to take a look,

What are the top 10 publishing houses in Europa,

List of the most reliable publishers in Europa.

What are the best publishing houses to choose if you want to publish in Europa...... There are probably some advertisements mixed in there.

But that's not what Ji Zhuo wants.

I thought about it.

Ji Zhuo opened the map software.

A country was identified first.

Let's go to the White Flag Country.

If you choose Great Britain, what if you have any intersection with Delvin and Burt Press?

Ji Zhuo directly on the map of the capital of the White Flag Country, directly searched for the publishing house.

Now,

Ji Zhuo found the publishing house he wanted.

A whole bunch of small publishing houses, some of which I have never heard of,

Some searches, and there is an address and official website on the search engine, and you can't find any books that have been published.

But it can't be too unreliable,

Small publishing houses belong to small publishing houses, and they don't submit to the kind of publishing houses that trick people at first glance.

finally

Screened the array again,

Ji Zhuo chose a few small, but reliable publishing houses.

It's basically the kind of tepid, fully qualified, and never published a work that is too popular.

But there are also some publishers that have published works with certain achievements.

I'm not afraid of being pitted, and I won't have too many resource channels.

"Hmm...... Eyre Press. Well, that's it, let's try it first. ”

Ji Zhuo found the official website of this publishing house, gave the submission channel of this publishing house, and delivered the first tens of thousands of words of the "ordinary" chapter.

Then I went back to the living room to sign the book.

……

Eyre Press.

The editor-in-chief in the office is still working overtime.

He's been a bit anxious lately.

Their publishing house is mainly for publishing and literary works.

There are also some writers who often collaborate, although not very influential,

But with the books of these authors, you can also make a good income every quarter.

But from more than a month ago, from the 'big war' of "Imperial Epic" and "Seven Days of Hell" on the Internet,

He started to have headaches.

The main writers of their publishing house are the kind of writers who have certain achievements, but they don't have many good results.

If it sounds good, it is called the mainstay, and if it is not good, it is not up or down.

But their publishing house is also such a small publishing house, and it is already good to be able to receive contributions from these writers.

Because of this, publishing houses like theirs have been hit the hardest.

The popularity of the new book publication of the publishing house co-author is completely unsuccessful in this situation.

Naturally, they don't dare to let these writers release new books rashly.

The most he's done these days is delaying the release of his co-author's new book.

Fortunately, no writer said that the head is more iron, after all, there are many writers of the same type and level who have helped them verify the fate of the head iron.

In fact, the popularity on the Internet is only a superficial effect.

The biggest impact on publishers is actually the impact on channel distribution.

"Imperial Epic" and "Seven Days of Hell" squeezed a lot of propaganda resources from a large number of bookseller channels.

For example, if he can only put two on the homepage of an online bookseller, how can there be a place for other books.

Offline booksellers are eager to fill entire bookshelves with works by ABC and dog authors.

Not only is it squeezing out the position of other books, but more importantly, booksellers need a backlog of funds to buy goods.

I took the money to buy "Imperial Epic" and "Seven Days of Hell", so naturally I didn't have so much money to spend on other books.

In other words, if more resources are poured into this writer's book, there will naturally not be so many resources for the books of other contemporaries.

Even if the reader wants to buy it, there is nowhere to buy it.

And in the last two days,

"Imperial Epic" won the Prix Goncourt,

The heat that had been quiet was back up.

He, the editor-in-chief of a small publishing house, felt like his head was going to explode.

"Hoo ......"

appeased an anxious writer again,

The editor-in-chief exhaled,

Then I opened the submission mailbox,

Prepare to see if there are any submissions and relax your mood.

"Huh? Have a newcomer contribute? ”

Al Publishing is a small publishing house.

The frequency of submissions from newcomers is not very high.

When the editor-in-chief opened the mailbox, he saw a submission from a new, unfamiliar mailbox.

Eyes lit up,

"Ordinary and Great"

"Serious works?"

The editor-in-chief frowned, then smiled himself and said,

"I hope it's not too serious."

Don't look at some well-known serious works with high sales,

But most readers still prefer to look at something less serious,

He, a small publishing house, doesn't have any resources to operate serious works.

Generally, the published works are relatively popular.

With a smile, the editor-in-chief opened the submission.

Then he retracted his smile,

I took another breath and let myself start reading the submission as calmly as possible.

Then, after reading the first page,

The editor-in-chief slowed down his reading.

I even flipped back and carefully re-read the beginning before continuing to read.
