()Modu, Puxin District, Starting Point Editorial Department

Zhang Ming, the responsible editor in charge of reviewing new book signings, was flipping through the new books that popped up in the background as usual.

After consigning more than a dozen works that did not meet the signing standards to the sidelines, he felt a little irritable and drank the chrysanthemum tea on the table while reviewing.

Then Zhang Ming was attracted by a new book.

This book has only been uploaded for less than three days, and the word count has reached [-]. The author is uploading at a speed of [-] words per day!

Coupled with the uncharacteristic title of "Sinking Kingdom", Zhang Ming basically concluded that this is another newcomer's work, and it is estimated that the author directly uploaded all his saved manuscripts.

However, he put down the water glass and opened the text, and he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

The first two chapters of the work failed to get rid of the common problems of novices. They both talked about the background setting in a large space, and the subject matter was also the combination of magic and science fiction, ancient civilization and modern technology.

But after reading the whole article, the author's ingenious narrative style does not make people feel redundant.

And starting from Chapter 3, the whole article began to develop towards a keynote, that is, "realistic" and "hot blood", and the background overview in the early stage has also become the tip of the iceberg, attracting people's attention to read.

Whether it is from the setting or the content of the story, it is completely different from the popular online articles today, but it seems that the author is telling the story of his own experience, and it makes people want to stop for a while.

After reading these, the only thing Zhang Ming can think of is - this author must have a strong solid writing foundation!

Looking at the data of this book again, there are only 100 clicks in total, but the number of favorites has reached 40, which is less than three to one.

Although such data is suspected of cheating, judging from the writing quality of the work, it is not surprising that the high income ratio is not surprising.

But in the face of such an alternative style of work, even Zhang Ming, who has four or five years of editing experience, still hesitates, not sure whether such a work has commercial value.

After thinking about it, Zhang Ming, the editor, did not submit the contract directly, but sent a message to the author asking him to add himself as a friend.

He planned to chat with the author first, and then decide whether to sign the work. After all, once this non-mainstream work is signed, the website will be responsible for all aspects of its operation, and the risk of losing money is still relatively high.

...

Ishikawa City, male dormitory of University of Science and Technology.

Today is the third day of uploading. According to the information collected by Li Mo himself, after a novel is uploaded to [-] words, an editor will review it to determine whether it is signed or not.

If there is no editorial notice, then you can only wait until the 20 to [-] words to apply for a contract.

After two days of thinking, he has already figured it out. If he really can't sign a contract to earn money after reaching 50 words, he will sell this 200 million-word book as a scrap manuscript, so that he can at least earn back seven or eight dollars. Let yourself lose a little bit.

After school at noon, he returned to the dormitory with the food he bought from the cafeteria. Out of habit, Li Mo went to his online store to check first. There were only two recharge orders in the morning.

Then he clicked on his starting point author background, intending to upload another [-] words as the second update today.

However, when entering the author's background, a prompt popped up, "You have an unread message, please check the author's message box"

Li Mo was a little curious and opened his text message box

"Hello, I am the responsible editor of the starting point group, please add qq1*****, thank you for your cooperation"

Seeing this sudden text message, Li Mo was a little confused.

In the past two days, whenever he is free, he will find some information related to online articles to popularize science for himself. This is not like the text message he has seen inviting him to sign a contract.

But since the other party is the starting point editor, Li Mo will naturally not miss this opportunity casually.

With a curious attitude, he opened QQ to check. After indicating the title of the work "Sinking Kingdom", Li Mo applied to add the other party as a friend.

"Drip drip"

Immediately, Li Mo's friend application was approved, and the QQ dialog box flickered.

Zhang Ming: Hello, I am a group of responsible editors, is this the author of "Sinking Kingdom"?

Li Mo: Yes, what's the matter?

Zhang Ming: Do you have an outline for your article?please send me a copy

Li Mo: Uh, no, I don’t know how to write an outline…

Zhang Ming: ...Have you ever had writing experience in other fields?Like physical books or magazines?

Li Mo: I haven’t written a composition since graduating from high school. This is the first time I have written a composition for the Internet.

Zhang Ming: ...Can you tell me about the story in your novel?

Li Mo: Uh... I don’t know too well. The plot of the story is in my head. If you want to read it, I can send you the [-] words I have already written, is that okay?

Zhang Ming: ...

Looking at the dialog box on his computer screen, Zhang Ming, an editor, was completely speechless.

It was the first time he had seen such a weird contestant, who had no outline and no writing experience, yet had such strong writing skills and a weird style of writing...

He was also a little tangled for a while, and some doubted whether he should continue to sign this wonderful work written by a wonderful author.

Probably aware of the editor's thoughts, Li Mo, who was eager to get a contract, did not forget to quickly put forward his own advantages, "I can write [-] words a day now, and if I have enough time, I can also write [-] to [-] words, and the quality is guaranteed, so there is hope. Do you sign a contract?"

The moment he saw this sentence, editor Zhang Ming felt like he was going to petrify.

There is no outline, and it is impossible to tell the outline of the story, but you can update [-] to [-] words every day with quality and quantity... This is something that even a sharpshooter can't do!

What's more, this is still a work that has no contract and no profit.

Then Zhang Ming replied: That’s it. This work is indeed interesting. It’s okay to sign a contract, but it doesn’t fit the current style of online writing. Slant soared into the sky.

Seeing the editor's explanation, Li Mo was determined: Then I would like to trouble the editor to sign the contract. I want to give it a try.

In this regard, the editor Zhang Ming did not explain too much, adhering to the idea that "sometimes diligent and updated authors are more worthy of cultivation than capable but always constant TJ authors" and replied:

"Okay, please pay attention to receiving background information. Also, it is enough to update five or six thousand words every day before it is put on the shelves, and the extra manuscripts can be saved for emergencies."

Now that the other party is full of confidence, Zhang Ming plans to give this work a test recommendation to see the situation. If it doesn't work, he can only guide this strange author with sharp and updated writing to try other popular themes.

...

After chatting with the editor, Li Mo refreshed the background again and received a traditional signing text message.

"Hello, your work has been submitted for signing, please add signing editor x (qq number 1******) as a friend through qq, and discuss the contract matters..."

Perhaps because of his character, Li Mo didn't encounter the complaints of other writers about not being able to add the contracted editor qq, or adding q to ask questions and no one responded. Li Mo added the contracted editor as a friend easily and smoothly.

After filling out the contract according to the other party's instructions, and registering the bank card and other information, Li Mo printed out the electronic document with ease and mailed it out by courier.

Although I am still a little uneasy about the results of this alien novel, this is at least the first step towards success, with an official recommendation and a chance to put it on sale.
