"Oh, if this novel was delivered ten days and half a month earlier, it would be the top spot."

Chen Haodong was very regretful. Among so many fan works, his favorite was "Shelmes' Will", but now with "Detective Sherlock", he immediately left his old love behind.

Liu Qiao is also very sorry that such a good work cannot win the prize, and the prize of hundreds of thousands is a total income of one year or two for many authors. If they can get it, at least they will have no worries about their creations in the near future.

If the author of "Detective Sherlock" thought that his novel was of poor quality, wouldn't he give up on creation?

When Chen Haodong thought of this, he quickly reminded Liu Qiao in front of him and said, "Xiao Liu, call the author to explain the situation. We will publish his works next issue and encourage him to continue to create. If the quality of the subsequent manuscripts of "Detective Sherlock" is so good, we will increase the remuneration standards."

No matter how much verbal encouragement is, it is not as practical as increasing the royalties.

Liu Qiao quickly agreed, she didn't want to miss this potential author.

You can tell by looking at the writing style that this author named Zhang Chu should be considered a newcomer, or a little transparent person who has never published several works has great growth potential!

If he is tied to the big ship of time reasoning, there will definitely be considerable rewards in the future.

After coming out of Chen Haodong's editor-in-chief's office, Liu Qiao returned to his desk with a smile on his face. He immediately found the submission email he had received before, which contained Zhang Chu's name and mobile phone number.

"Sister Liu, what did Teacher Chen say just now?"

Wan Yuan, a young editor who was recruited last year, immediately sneaked over to inquire about information. He also saw "Detective Sherlock" before.

Liu Qiao raised a curve on her lips, and she said domineeringly: "It's very exciting, it will probably be the main theme of the next issue. Now I want to ask the author if the content behind can also be serialized in our magazine."

"This is also the case. If the contents in the future are well written, maybe there may be a publisher willing to publish them." Zhou Ling, a short and chubby editor, said with a smile. The mystery detective novels that can be published these days are very rare, and even if they are published, the sales will be very unsatisfactory!

"This is also our bargaining chip, and the temptation to publish a book should be quite big." Liu Qiao was full of confidence.

At this time, a middle-aged man who was as tall as a bamboo pole suddenly appeared. He asked in confusion: "You just said that the next issue of the magazine will change its main theme? Didn't you agree that it would be Wu Hua's "Angel of Sin"?"

This is an old man from the magazine since its founding. Li Yuanqing always likes to show off his qualifications. He recommended the original "Angel of Sin" by him, but now his face is a little unpleasant.

Liu Qiao and others didn't want to meet him, so they could only say vaguely: "I haven't confirmed it yet, and no one knows which article will be the main theme of the next issue."

"No, I have to go and ask Lao Chen."

After Li Yuanqing threw away Zhang Xiao's face, he walked towards the editor-in-chief's office, and his aggressive appearance seemed to be looking for trouble.

Wan Yuan and others quickly sat back to their seats, looked at the editor-in-chief's office with their eyes open, their ears high, high, erect, and wanted to hear something.

Even a small magazine editorial department is still inevitable in internal struggle.

...

Zhang Chu, who was lying at home, did not realize that his reputation had stopped growing, had increased insignificantly. The two editors in the Time Reasoning Magazine praised him and were about to praise him as hope for Chinese detective novels.

He is using his mobile phone to view the book works in this world. Because the copyright protection is particularly well-off, literary works are extremely prosperous and developed, book sales are high, and the status of writers is also very high.

However, in the past decade, fewer and fewer new books can impress readers, most of which are sold in the past classic books. More and more people realize that the literary market may be in a dynasty!

Just as he was checking the authoritative book sales list of Xinhua Bookstore, the mobile phone page suddenly turned into a caller ID page, and a strange phone number came over.

After Zhang Chu answered, he asked, "Hello, who are you?"

Liu Qiao looked at the number he dialed, and it seemed to be right. Why did he feel like a middle school student when he heard the sound? "Are you Mr. Zhang Chu, the author of "Detective Sherlock"?"

"Oh, it's me, what's wrong?"

Zhang Chu's heart was in his throat. He was a human being in his two lives. This was his first time submitting to a magazine. He had no idea what the process of submitting was like.

But if you think you don’t want to call me if you reject the manuscript, at least your father Zhang Bowen will reject the manuscript every time he rejects the manuscript, the manuscript will be returned from the email.

"I am Liu Qiao, the editor of "Time Reasoning" magazine. After discussion in our editorial department, your novel "Sherlock" has excellent quality and will be listed in the next issue of the magazine. After the magazine is published, it will automatically be shortlisted for the rematch of Sherlock's fan essay contest."

Although he was expecting it, after hearing this, Zhang Chu still stood up from the sofa excitedly, and he did it!

Liu Qiao continued: "Is this manuscript your original work? Have you contributed articles to other magazines before?"

"No, I just wrote this soon."

"Then we will sign an agreement to publish a work with you. You are not selling the copyright to us, but just using the right. The level of the manuscript fee is 500 yuan, 1,000 words before tax. Do you think it can be accepted?"

Zhang Chu had known this level for a long time. He simply calculated in his mind that his short story had 35,000 words, but if he calculated it, he actually had more than 17,000 manuscript fees, which was quite cost-effective.

"That is, if I want to publish a book in the future, you don't need to agree or not, right? If that's the case, then there's no problem."

There are so many stories behind "Detective Sherlock". Now Zhang Chu has just taken one story out, but he is not going to hand it all over to Time Mistakes Magazine. After all, this is still a little bit niche.

"I will send the agreement to your email later. This electronic agreement requires your ID card scanner, bank card number and account opening bank information. Please fill it out as soon as possible and hand it over to me so that the financial side can transfer the royalties to you."

Zhang Chu quickly agreed, "No problem, I'll go scan it later."

"Okay, I wish you a happy life, goodbye!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Chu clenched his fists excitedly, and was so surprised that he could earn more than 17,000 by writing more than 30,000 words?

I opened a bookstore in my previous life, and I didn’t have that much money even if I was tired.

"Sure enough, there is a golden house in the book. It is easy to write books, profitable, and can become famous!"
