One of the most important work abilities of an editor is to urge manuscripts. If this task is not done well, she is already prepared to be criticized.
Who knew that as soon as her name was called, Susan received the message.
The editor was very happy.
"Nine times out of ten, it's Jiang Yang."
The editing teacher at Stony Brook was convinced that there were not many authors in charge of Susan, most of them were old authors, and their schedules were very stable. Only the ones who were in the limelight could be so sudden.
"Tsk, tsk."
The editor who was about to be criticized was a little envious, "Boss, this is really a sweetheart."
Jiang Yang's books sell well and bring great economic benefits to the publishing house.
In addition, it also makes the work of copyright editors in their publishing houses much easier. The important work of copyright editors is to establish and maintain good cooperative relationships with foreign publishing houses, book companies, authors, and copyright agencies.
Now their publishing house is also one of the companies maintained by those companies.
When publishing editors contacted me in the past, the other person answered the phone. After self-reporting their identity, they would always call "Yi Ke Ke You Zi Mi" and ask again which publishing house they were. Now when I call them, the other person on the other side always says "Ah, Little Prince Publishing".
society".
This is called status.
The editing teacher at Shixi told the editor not to be envious, "Go and rush the manuscript, otherwise you won't be able to escape today, and you won't be able to escape tomorrow."
The editor was helpless, so she stood up and said, "I'm going to block his door right now."
The editor teacher took Shi Xi back to work.
Shi Xi is still an intern editor, mainly learning some basic things from the teacher. Just when she was busy with the work at hand, and she didn’t know how much time had passed, Shi Xi saw her boss coming back. The boss looked around the editing room and said hello
Shi Xi's editing teacher came back after a while and gave Shi Xi a task: to proofread Teacher Jiang Yang's new book.
"ah."
Shi Xi was surprised.
Can she, a trainee editor, still receive such an important job?
Of course Shi Xi knows Jiang Yang, one of the most popular authors and one of the authors that their publishing house has recently been popular about.
As an editor about to enter the industry, Shi Xi has read all of Jiang Yang's works, whether he likes them or not.
Her favorite is "The Little Prince" by Jiang Yang.
From a professional point of view, this book has the potential to become a bestseller. A bestseller is not a bestseller. A bestseller is that after ten years, twenty years, and thirty years later, this book is still selling a lot.
Good. However, now it seems that this book has the potential to be a bestseller and a regular seller. From this, it can be seen that the editor was not joking when he said that Mr. Su had discovered a hot potato.
From a personal point of view, besides "The Little Prince", Shi Xi likes his "Worry-Relief Grocery Store" the most. It is quite healing to read, and then there is the setting of the mailbox traveling through time and space, which is quite amazing.
As for the rest of the books, she also thinks they are good.
It may not have affected her to a great extent, but she will definitely have some feelings after reading it.
In order to get an internship in a publishing house, she, who was born in a small county town, also studied Jiang Yang. During the interview, she used Jiang as an example many times, and Jiang Yang was indeed an author who challenged editors.
.
Because his books are sometimes in the sky and sometimes underground. Yesterday they were fairy tales, today they are mysteries, and tomorrow they are about romance. One day he writes horror novels, and the other day he writes science fiction and heaven. It is not surprising to Shi Xi.
This means that the editor must also be involved in these types of novels. Otherwise, Jiangyang Dashen's science fiction will be full of hard-core vocabulary, and the editor will be confused and will not understand anything. This is terrible
what to do?
Shi Xi guessed that their publishing house couldn't handle Jiang Yang, otherwise why would the mystery novels not be included in the collection?
Now.
Why did such an awesome and challenging author let her do the proofreading?
The teacher thought that Shi Xi thought the task was difficult and patted her shoulder, "Everyone has work at hand, you just need to do some basic proofreading. This is a good thing. You are the first person to see Teacher Jiang Yang besides the big devil."
The people of this novel.”
"Okay, okay."
Shi Xi nodded and agreed, even feeling honored to be connected with his idol.
But compared to the honor, to be honest, she was a little nervous.
She was under a lot of pressure as she had just taken on such a big project as an intern.
She took the manuscript, sat at her workstation, and took a deep breath.
She said during the interview that as Jiang Yang's editor, one must be prepared to open blind boxes.
She adjusted herself and opened the manuscript.
Then--
Shi Xi finally knew why he was asked to proofread. The punctuation, the "property", and the unexpected typos were all really basic proofreading work. No, this manuscript was too
I'm worried, why does it look like a draft?
Shi Xi wants to cry, Teacher Jiang Yang, the filter is broken.
She used to think that the boss was very lucky to have discovered such a high-quality and best-selling author like Jiang Yang. Now she apologized for her previous thoughts. The boss was really awesome at discovering such an author, and it was admirable.
Because of this kind of manuscript, some editors are likely to be killed after reading the beginning.
besides--
Shi Xi finally knew why she stood out among a group of outstanding interns and was hired by the boss. Because what she said during the interview was true, Master Jiang Yang’s book is about opening blind boxes, and now she has opened a realistic book
Theme novels.
A teacher was about to die. He looked out the window and recalled, describing the poverty of the village. The fields were as big as a palm, and he could not earn back the oil money for farm machinery. The student's gambling father almost beat his son to death; the female student's mother was a chopper.
The madman who set fire to the house; built a temple and demolished the school building in the village, broke the teacher's ribs, and then the teacher was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. It could have been cured in the early stage, but he had no money...
Depressed! Heavy!
Although the writing style is not as painful as the serious novel author's Ling Chi, as a student from the countryside, Shi Xi can easily empathize with these heavinesses. She was the only classmate whose mother also had mental problems. She forgot why, and once she went to
I went to my classmate's house to look for her, and then I saw her mother on the bed in the low, dark room.
She would never forget the weird smile on her classmate's mother's face in a room with poor lighting.
This female classmate also got married early.
Her academic performance is not good.
In many stories, children with poor family conditions often study very hard and have very good academic performance. This is true, but there must be a couple, at least one parent who knows the importance of knowledge, otherwise the child will need great wisdom.
Only in this way can people get out of it. Because the environment is so subtle, people can easily become numb and get used to it, and learning slowly is simply not part of the plan.
Everything changes with a dull knife.
Shi Xi was able to come out of the village because she had parents who knew how to study well and make money.
Of course, teachers are also important.
She really started to learn well in the sixth grade. At that time, the village school changed a couple to teach the main subject of the sixth grade. The man taught Chinese and the woman taught mathematics. The couple played TV for them after studying and talked about their ideals. They were not scientists.
Such empty ideals do not mean that after earning money, you can buy two bowls of soy milk and drink one bowl after another to become rich, but that you can tell them about the beauty of the outside world.
For example, waiting for a bus at a bus stop, buying a ticket and going wherever you want to go, buying a book if you want to, going to a movie if you want to, going to a park if you want to -
