The manuscript of "Twilight·1" was sent to Stic Publishing House seven days ago, but as the largest teaching aid publishing house in the beautiful country, hundreds of novel manuscripts and teaching aid materials are sent every day.
The novel "Twilight 1" was only scheduled for review three days ago, which is already within the "green channel" speed.
For ordinary manuscript submission, the response time is at least half a month to three months.
…
In the R and literary world, novels also have a lot of attention on a global scale. Compared with the blooming of the Internet in the L-level literary and artistic world, a larger part of this world is still at the level of paper books, magazines and newspapers.
Publishing paper novels is still the most mainstream channel, but in this world, the circulation speed, or in other words, the influence of paper novels is far better than the L-level literary world.
Susan Miller is one of the editors-in-chief of stic Publishing House and the editor-in-chief of the entertainment editorial department and fiction department.
She opened the manuscript of the novel "Twilight 1" just the day before yesterday after receiving a strong recommendation from the editor below. As the editor-in-chief, she also needs to review a large number of them, select high-quality ones, and make decisions.
But the name of this novel made her stunned, followed by the author of this novel, Stephanie Xia.
"A new writer? Why haven't I heard of him?"
The main reason is that the manuscript of this novel has a "green channel" label, which means that even if it is not recommended by someone under her command, this novel will appear on her desk in the afternoon according to the procedure.
Moreover, there is a "green channel" label, which must be reviewed no matter what.
The editor's red eyes and compliments made her a little more interested.
But just a little.
As one of the largest teaching aid publishing houses in the beautiful country and the editor-in-chief of the novel department, Susan Miller has read too many novels.
After working in the industry for more than ten years, there are many novels that have been reviewed and approved by her for publication, and have become popular all over the world.
Among them, Susan Miller's favorite themes are science fiction and fantasy, because these two themes are so charming.
Science fiction novels are wild and unconstrained, giving all science fiction fans more imagination about the future time and space.
Magical novels are satisfying. Fans of novels are fascinated by the infinite reveries of the magical world - mysterious witches, ancient magic kingdoms, dragon worldviews that combine the medieval and magical worlds, etc.
But in the past two years, as more and more novels have been published, most of the elements have been used extensively!
As a result, these two types of novels have gradually entered a barrier zone, or in other words, a bottleneck period——
Susan Miller has grown tired of reading the novel submissions sent to Stic's novel department in the past two years.
These two themes have been poorly written.
And most of the works, even those sent by the "green channel", have very attractive names and opening chapters, but as soon as you read on.
Just like, “potato po-tah-to.”
(Change the soup without changing the dressing.)
Most of her works will be passed away unless you are willing to pay for their own publication and promotion.
Therefore, in the past two years, Susan Miller has shifted her focus to other genres. For science fiction and fantasy works that are not "green channel", basically they are jointly reviewed by the editors below.
She will only read it if all the joint examinations pass.
But the appearance of "Twilight 1" really made Susan Miller's eyes shine. Her daily workload is fixed. She not only needs to read one book, but especially the "Green Channel" book review must
Within seven days.
Therefore, Susan Miller worked painfully while trying her best to endure it. Finally, she spent three days and stayed up late in the middle of the night. She was once attracted by "Twilight 1" and almost stayed up all night for two days in a row!
The last time I was so obsessed with a novel was the "Deep Sea Dreamland Series" that I started three years ago and is still unfinished.
The first book in this series, after a few weeks of fermentation, jumped onto the best-selling list of Beautiful Country, and stayed on the list for forty-nine weeks, four of which topped the list. And "Deep Sea Dream Series" has undoubtedly become a best-seller.
The best-selling champion of the year!
The popularity of "Deep Sea 1" also allowed "Deep Sea 2" to achieve better results when it was published in the second half of that year.
The publication directly topped the best-selling list, and it was also the publication of "Deep Sea 2". In the last seven weeks from November to December of that year, "Deep Sea 2" dominated the top list, resulting in "Deep Sea·1" failing to retain the top spot.
The publication of "Deep Sea 2" has been on the best-seller list for fifty-four weeks, including a total of eleven weeks at the top of the best-seller list!
But the bestseller of "Deep Sea 2" was eventually defeated, not by other books, but by "Deep Sea 3".
"Deep Sea 3" had an initial print run of one million copies, and its sales exceeded 100,000 copies on the first day it was released.
It has been on the best-selling list of Beautiful Country for 56 weeks, beating the best-selling record of "Deep Sea 2", and it has been on the best-selling list for 17 weeks!
As for "Deep Sea 4", there is no news yet. Susan Miller contacted the author and it is said that it is already in preparation.
And it was after "Deep Sea 3" that Susan Miller never encountered a novel that could make her forget about food and sleep.
When she saw "Twilight", what Susan Miller thought of were several elements——
Werewolf, witch, black magician, vampire.
Werewolves, this is an element that has emerged in the past two years because of "The Secret of the Werewolf". In the past two years, there have been several books about werewolves with relatively new themes, but - to be honest, they cannot surpass the beautiful drama "The Secret of the Werewolf", and not only
There are few elements that can be borrowed from.
Susan Miller frowned when she realized that this was a story about vampires.
The story of vampires has long been cliched and was written badly a few years or even ten years ago.
But when she frowned and opened the novel, she slowly realized that her evaluation was too early.
It all came down to the novel. There was indeed a charm that made her read it involuntarily - a seventeen-year-old mixed-race female high school student with albinism met Edward Cullen, a muscular, handsome and charming man with an angelic face.
, the story about vampires revealed from the perspective of a young lover? A magical love story?
This suddenly opened up Susan Miller's curiosity - "love + magic + handsome vampire?"
"Oh my God, this author named Stephanie Xia is a genius!"
"Why didn't I think of that? Who said that fantasy-themed novels must be about male protagonists? Heroism? Why can't it be about love? It can't be about a girl's magical journey? A girl's magical journey, why?
Can it just be a witch?"
It has to be said that in every woman's heart there is a girl's heart of "hero saving beauty" and "sacrifice herself for hero".
