Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

After more than ten days of hard typing, Kevin finally typed out all the text of "Jane Eyre". Looking at the thick stack of printed manuscripts, he was very excited.

"I want to be a literary hero here." A voice shouted in Kevin's heart.

After Kevin spent a week of living expenses to print out the manuscript, he planned to take it to the local Deyun for publication.

Dehai Publishing House is not only an outstanding publishing house in Edinburgh, but also one of the most prestigious publishing houses in the whole of the UK. All this is related to the fact that the publishing house has published many best-selling books in the UK in recent years. Augustine's father's book has been signed and cooperated with Dehai Publishing House for a long time.

In the entire publishing industry, when it comes to Dehai Publishing House, it is also well-known. Therefore, this is why Kevin chose to give him the manuscript as soon as possible.

The address of Dehai Publishing House is near Princes Street, which is the most prosperous street in Edinburgh. It is also the transportation hub of the whole city, and almost all bus routes pass through here.

Princes Street stretches straight, with the new city on one side and the old city on the other, all the way to the foot of the castle. And it is also known as "the street with the best view in the world". It is connected to Calton Hill at the east end, and the hill is not high. It is the best place to overlook the city and Edinburgh Castle. During the Edinburgh International Arts Festival, entertainers wearing traditional Scottish kilts play bagpipes in Princes Street Garden from time to time.

Of course, the most famous thing on Princes Street is not these flowers and plants, but the world-renowned Scottish clock, whose main structure is located underground. This clock was built in 1803. The minute hand is 2.4 meters long, the hour hand is 1.5 meters, and the clock face is 3.5 meters in diameter. It is said to be the largest and most unique flower clock in the world.

After Kevin was reborn here, he couldn't help but marvel at the uniqueness of this clock. If it were in China, such an ancient relic would probably not exist long ago.

Kevin's current location is still a little away from Princes Street, so he can only choose to take a bus there. Although the UK is one of the most developed countries in the world, consumption is not particularly expensive. A one-day bus pass is usually £2.20.

After Kevin bought the £2.2 pass, he could take a bus anywhere in Edinburgh for a day. However, Kevin is not in the mood to play now. When he reached Princes Street, he got out of the car. Then came to the door of Dehai Publishing House.

Kevin held the folder containing the manuscript of "Jane Eyre" in his hand, feeling speechless. At this time, he could already imagine how surprised the editor of Dang Deyun Publishing was when he saw the manuscript of "Jane Eyre"; he could already imagine going to Dang Dehai Publishing House to put "Jane Eyre" in the library How hot the market was at that time; he can already imagine that he has become one of the ranks of British writers with "Jane Eyre".

But things didn't go as smoothly as he had imagined. When he walked into the hall of Dehai Publishing House, a young woman with blond hair came over.

"Hey sir, who are you looking for?"

"Hello, ma'am, I'm here to contribute. I have a work that I want to show to your publisher." Kevin said politely.

Hearing that she was here to submit a manuscript to the publishing house, the blond-haired girl looked at Kevin with strange eyes. Although she couldn't find a trace of writer and literati in Kevin, this was England, a country that valued politeness.

So the girl with blond hair is still smiling and talking to Kevin, but the smile is a smile,

There was always a tone of suspicion and sarcasm in the words.

The blond-haired girl said: "Sir, are you sure you are really here to contribute to us? You must know that our Dehai Publishing House is well-known throughout Scotland, and even the entire UK."

The other party's words are very clear. As one of the famous publishing houses in the UK, Dehai Publishing House naturally has high requirements for manuscripts. For a novice like Kevin, the probability of being selected is almost the same as the concept of being struck by lightning.

But Kevin, who has the memory of the previous literary giant, doesn't think so. He believes that when the editors see the text of "Jane Eyre", they will definitely sign the publishing rights of this book without hesitation. After all, "Jane Eyre" was on the earth in the previous life, so it was very popular.

So, Kevin said confidently: "Of course I know the reputation of Dehai Publishing House. But I have a very good manuscript in my hand, so I would like to trouble you to show it to your editor. Perhaps, they will need it."

At this time, in the editorial office of Dehai Publishing House, a 10-square-meter hut, a 32-year-old young woman was worrying about the goal of the publishing house.

"God, what a terrible quarter, and I can't find a good manuscript. How do I account for it?"

The troubled young woman is Zela, the editor of Dehai Publishing House. Zela's daily task is to review manuscripts. As a well-known publishing house, Dehai Publishing House naturally has a set of management requirements, that is, it must deliver an excellent work every quarter. But there are still two days left in this quarter, and Zela has not found a manuscript that can make Dehai Publishing House famous, which is why she is troubled at this time.

The weather was already hot, and when I was anxious, sweat began to slide down Zela's forehead and cheeks.

Back in the reception hall, after some requests from Kevin, the blond-haired girl finally agreed to help Kevin deliver the manuscript to Zela editor for review.

"Okay, sir, then please give me the manuscript, and I'll help you get it to editor Zela. She's the only one on duty today." The blond-haired girl said.

"Okay, thank you. I think God will make you lucky." Kevin said wittily.

Suddenly there was a knock on Zela's door. She put down the pen in her hand and said, "Please come in."

The blond-haired girl opened Editor Zela's door gently, and then saw the sweat on Zela's forehead, and asked with concern: "Dear Editor Zela, what's wrong with you? If it's too hot, are you completely You can turn on the air conditioner."

"No, my heat is not caused by the environment. It's something about work. This is really a bad season." Zela wiped the sweat on his forehead with a tissue at this time.

"Oh, how do you say that?"

"You know, our company has a goal every quarter, which is to have at least one popular work, but there are still two days before this quarter will pass, so far, I have read all the submissions, There isn’t an excellent article. So, I’m bored.” Editor Zela said helplessly.

As a front desk clerk at Dehai Publishing House, the blond-haired girl had naturally heard of the company's goal. But in the past, there were so many writers who submitted articles to Dehai Publishing House, and this goal became very simple. I don't know why, but this quarter has become so difficult. Perhaps the requirements of Zela's editor have become higher.

When it came to the manuscript, the blond-haired girl just remembered something, and then handed the manuscript in her hand to Zela's desk, and said with a smile: "Zera, someone came to our company just now with his manuscript , said it was submitted to our publishing house. Maybe you can take a look, maybe it will allow you to complete your goal for this quarter."

"Manuscript? Which writer is it? Harden? No, Harden's work was finished only a month ago. According to his habit, it takes at least half a year to write a work after finishing it. Could it be Waiters? Yes , It should be Waiters, you know Waiters hasn’t started writing for half a year, besides, he is used to bringing manuscripts to our company in person. Hurry up, I will go out and meet him in person.” Zela heard that there was a manuscript After the news, there was finally a look of surprise on his face.

"No, no, editor Zela, I may have disappointed you. The person who came was not the great writer of Waiters. If it were him, I would definitely call you in person." The blond-haired girl hurriedly explained.

"Oh, who is that writer?" Editor Zela looked at him with big curious eyes, his mysterious figure looked particularly sexy.

"It's a young man who looks like a student."

Zela was indeed disappointed when he heard the news. I thought it would be a well-known writer to contribute, and then I just happened to be able to solve the target requirements for this quarter. But now that he heard that the other party was just a teenager, and possibly a student, there was no surprise on his face for a moment.

"Okay, you can put the manuscript here, maybe I will read it when I have time. However, a newcomer's manuscript, it is far from allowing me to achieve this quarter's goal." Editor Zela said casually.

Zela is also one of the well-known editors in the British publishing industry, and his vision is also very unique. The works unearthed in the past few years have been selling well in various reading libraries in the UK. Therefore, there are a lot of people who come to her to contribute articles every year, including well-known writers and unknown newcomers.

Zela has reviewed the works of countless newcomers, and the image given to her is immature, and the articles are not new. Therefore, for the newcomer's work that the blond-haired girl said, she didn't give up hope at all.

"Okay, Editor Zela. Then I'll go out first."

After finishing speaking, the blond-haired girl turned around and gently closed Zela's door, and then returned to the company's lobby.
