Alice didn't expect that the bantams would come so quickly. After all, although the express delivery should only take one or two days, who knows when the editor can review her manuscript, let alone make up his mind to contact her.

When I learned from Brown that editor-in-chief Domingo hung up more than a dozen calls at home but no one answered them, Alice checked the call records and there were really many missed calls.

"I'm so sorry, because we really don't have the habit of leaving incoming calls and messages. No one was at home all day that day. But Mr. Brown, your efficiency is really fast. I really didn't expect you to be able to contact us so quickly."

Alice recalled it and knew what day it was on the other end. According to the records, just when Domingo hung up the first call, the whole family had just temporarily solved Mariana's affairs and had a meal in Chinatown!

"Then Miss Wang, I will confirm it myself now. Did you really write this novel?"

Not to mention anything else, when Brown saw the author of the manuscript, Alice Wang, who was really just a twelve-year-old girl, had a surprise in his heart that made him say this no matter what.

After hearing his question, Sophie, who was sitting beside him, smiled proudly, and Hannah looked at her sister with admiration, which was Oscar or a slut, and insisted on looking at Alice with a disdainful expression.

"You mean the source of inspiration and the knowledge used in the book."

Alice smiled and said, "If you go into my bedroom, you will understand that there are many books with very difficult subjects in my bookcase, which are not something that people of my grade can read. But I can understand those books, so naturally I have a very rich accumulation of knowledge."

"Really? What books are there? I can't help but want to read them when you say this."

Brown was naturally surprised when he heard Alice say this, and said with a smile: "Can I visit your bedroom?"

"Walk into a little girl's boudoir to visit?"

Suddenly, Brown's secretary Leanna interjected: "Mr. Brown, please pay attention to your gender? Or are you planning to go to Thailand for surgery? Well, the price is not cheap. I wonder if your meager salary, which has not been paid for a long time, can you afford it?"

In an instant, Brown's smile was still on her lips, but it completely frozen.

With a puff, Hannah was the first to laugh out loud.

"Uh, ahem, let's get back to the topic."

Alice couldn't help but laugh at the beautiful secretary. She was in her twenties and had a very good figure. She had never said a word before, but just a sudden sentence was so choking...

"If you have any doubts about the authenticity of this book, you can ask me a question on the plot of the book on the spot. If this is OK... Mr. Brown, I believe you came all the way to hold a tea party with us, this book has been confirmed to be published?"

"Good guy, your girl's thinking ability is amazing!"

After only five minutes of conversation, Brown fully realized Alice's unusualness. Although many children with superior family environments are also mature, he has not seen many people who can talk like Alice in so many years.

“We are indeed interested in publishing your work, kid, congratulations.”

Brown naturally threw out a reassurance first, which was also a big bomb. However, he immediately saw that Alice was still very calm, and her family members were almost the same. At most, Hannah couldn't help but scream, and was happy that her sister's work could really be published.

In the next hour, Brown gave a detailed explanation of the publishing process of the new writer's works.

First of all, although Alice's works are indeed very excellent, editor-in-chief Domingo and a number of editors are very optimistic. But even if they are insiders, they cannot represent the taste of all readers. Therefore, the promotion of new books is of course an indispensable part,

"The company has many publicity channels, and the most basic ones are naturally questionnaire and three-fold manuals. In fact, every time the new book promotion period is the publication period, any publishing house will distribute such objects like the majority of users. There are leaflets distributed on the street by the promotion specialist and directly mailed to residents in the area in batches. These leaflets, questionnaire and three-fold pages have introductions to the new book, as well as surveys and feedbacks on user expectations. This... I believe Mrs. Wang is the most clear about it, right?"

Sophie nodded, Alice also knew about these things. Just a few days ago, Hannah had just cleaned up her email address, which was stuffed with various questionnaires and three-fold pages, such as the "favorite cake" questionnaire at a large dessert takeaway store.

"After obtaining a certain amount of survey results, we can determine the reader market for the new book. Then, our editors determine the publicity intensity based on the predicted market size, including rolling bags and poster production..."

"If it is a serialized in a magazine, you can promote it on the magazine's advertising page."

Alice suddenly interrupted, "Is there no such step in publishing physical books like me?"

Brown smiled approvingly because the question Alice asked was really in-depth: "This is easy to deal with. As long as you have reading experience, you will find that no matter what type of magazine it is, there will be a lot of advertisements included. In fact, for many magazines, this kind of advertising revenue itself is a large part of their total revenue."

"As the top publishing house in the United States, Bantam Book Company has a partnership with many types of magazines, especially literary magazines. Even if your book is not serialized in some novel magazines, as long as we are willing to pay for advertising, they are certainly happy to add a physical book advertisement to the pages. This is not a problem."

“It’s a matter of cost.”

Alice laughed and said, "And, it seems that new people like me are not qualified to hold a new book launch conference yet, right? I mean, do sales signing conferences like those well-known writers?"

Brown pondered for a moment, and in the short conversation, Alice's every sentence reached the point, which greatly increased his favorability for this mysterious Asian girl. So, after Alice threw another question, just as every teacher liked top students to ask questions, he was really happy to answer his questions.

"This depends on the author's own wishes, and it doesn't matter to the publisher."

"For most new writers, in order to further increase their popularity, they will basically stay in a bookstore on the first day of new book sales, which is fine. The difference is that if they are really a newcomer or a writer who is not famous enough, they just sit down most of the time during the signing ceremony, which is not as bad as a popular writer's signature and signing in."

After the laughter of the whole house came to an end, Brown continued: "So, in principle, you are willing to do so as to whether Miss Wang plans to hold a signing meeting. Of course, taking part in person will definitely increase your popularity. This is the same for any writer."

Of course, Alice should have a good understanding of how to promote these things, but to be honest, she is actually a little interested in this matter.

After all, even the hot-selling world-wide such as Harry Potter, it just brought Rowling hundreds of millions of dollars in wealth. Alice really looked down on the income brought by writing books. As for fame, it was indeed a icing on the cake.

After all, even if she no longer tries to other things, relying solely on Cisco, she can bring herself a worth of 10 billion yuan after it develops, and the company itself is the foundation stone of the Internet. In comparison, what is a mere "Jurassic Park"?
