Today is a day worth celebrating, because Alice, who hasn't visited Bantam Book Company for a long time, is finally here to publish her new work!

Of course, no one expects a writer to be so productive. In the literary world, quality is always more important than quantity. It is actually nothing special about the interval of more than a year and a half. But for a "newcomer" who has published a total of two books and both of them are on the New York Times bestselling list, the meaning of the third work is completely different.

After all, even the mystery novel she wrote suddenly in Japan has won the most authoritative new star award in the mystery literature industry, the Edogawa Ranbu Award.

"Alice, we don't have the chance to congratulate you yet." As the senior editors gathered into the conference room, the editor-in-chief Domingo said to the protagonist enthusiastically: "Your career is really booming now. People in our company have purchased some Cisco stocks, and the chairman even bought your equipment in large quantities!"

"Oh, that's so thankful." Alice laughed and said, "It was just a month ago. The company also sent me an email saying that the nineteen buildings in Rockefeller Center were planning to strengthen the construction of the network structure in the building as our Internet development trend. This is a big order, and the business department is now in a mess."

"Yes, network construction, after all, these buildings were built in the 1930s, and you must keep up with the times at any time." Brown interrupted: "By the way, Alice, Microsoft has always been developing the Windows NT system. Will it be used here?"

"Well~ the development of that system is very long." Alice said: "After all, it has too high requirements for security and stability, but you are right. After it is produced, it will definitely be the first choice for server operating systems for major companies."

A few small talk is enough. In one or two minutes, most senior editors have already entered the conference room. Furthermore, editor-in-chief Domingo immediately invited Alice to attend, not only for her status as a publisher of two best-selling books, but also for her identity as a well-deserved entrepreneur.

"So, everyone, I have not come to our publishing house some days." Alice said after she sat down: "You have seen the emails you sent me. For the subsequent sales of the two books "Jurassic Park" and "Bloody Fairy Tales", I would first thank everyone here for their strong support. Without your continuous operation, we would not have the current sales volume."

For many new writers, sales of tens or even hundreds of thousands, this is simply an unattainable mythical achievement. In terms of emotion and reason, these editors in the industry cannot let go of continuous operation. However, for Alice, this feeling is quite subtle.

After all, she knew better than anyone else that writing was purely an amateur pastime for herself. It is normal to see other people happy for their works they can pick up easily, but to say that these works are not original, but are all copying the pinnacle works of some well-known writers. While she felt the bad taste, she still felt a little unhappy.

After all, Alice is not a person who makes a living by literary circles.

"I'm here today, I want to explain to you the future creative process."

After pondering for a moment, she said, "The precipitation over this period has led me to conceive a series of novels. This entire series of novels will be published by our Bantams. After all, they are also old partners? It is convenient for me to belong to one company."

The whistle sounded continuously, and many editors who were suddenly called to the assembly couldn't help looking at each other, but at the same time they were even more joyful. The series of novels promised by the writer is great news for any publishing house, and it is also an iron rice bowl that can bring rich performance to many editors.

Domingo said in surprise: "Series of novels? That's amazing. It's so helpful to the brand operation! So Alice, what series of novels are you conceiving?"

Generally speaking, after saying this, it is time for the writer to present the manuscript directly, but Alice was not in a hurry and said slowly: "The main plot of campus magic novels based in modern society revolves around a Scottish magic school. This school is seven years old, so my entire series will be published in the form of a seven-part series."

Another shocking news came, which made the editors present sigh. Brown almost got scalded by tea, quickly put down his cup and said, "Alice, seven novels!? A total of seven novels!?"

I really praise God. Seeing Alice smile and nodding, the entire conference room was almost boiling!

What is the concept of the Seven-partner?

It is equivalent to the publishing house and a best-selling writer who signed the distribution rights of seven novels in one go. Based on the nature of the series of novels, it has unique advantages in operation and promotion!

And it’s reasonable, there are seven pieces!

"Oh my god," said an editor sitting in a certain position, and said in emotion: "Doesn't this mean that we will have something to be busy in the next seven years?"

"Yes, yes, seven years, good guy, seven years!" Another editor also said: "Since it is such a long series of novels, from the initial publicity, to the delivery of trial reading books, to the official publication, to the readers' response, and to the promotion of the next book, the year-round cycle of a book is the best."

"Look at the specific sales volume. Of course, I believe that Alice's production will definitely be a fine product." Domingo spoke, and the audience immediately calmed down: "If the quality of each novel in this series can be on the best-selling list, then we would have invented the DC of Superman and Batman, and the Marvel of Captain America and Hulk."

There was another burst of laughter, but everyone nodded in agreement. Who among the people here grew up watching the characters created by those two comics since the 1934th century? If Alice's seven-part songs can really be the best-selling list, based on its so-called campus magic setting, as long as it has enough operation and publicity, it is probably possible to cultivate a subculture!

"Hey, hey, are you so sure?" But seeing the editors so excited, Alice was a little uneasy, although she really understood the power of this set of seven plots.

"Of course it's because we have confidence in your talent, Alice." Domingo said with a smile, and everyone smiled and nodded: "In addition to the mystery novel in Japan, as an amateur writer, you have three novels based on three types, but you have achieved many achievements that ordinary writers have never reached in your lifetime. Under this premise, you suddenly say that you want to launch a long series, so how can you not be classic?"

It makes sense to say this, and just as Brown immediately said: "And Alice, you also said that this is campus magic. If published at the pace of one work per year, it will be the growth process of a generation of teenagers. Oh... By the way, Alice, we have not asked until now, what is your series of novels?"

"You can guess very accurately in seven novels, the protagonist's age, from eleven to seventeen, can indeed directly affect the growth of a generation of teenagers." said happily, and then Alice finally opened her small leather bag.

"This is the first third of the first song I wrote. It has been divided into chapters. Who will you copy it?"

Seeing the girl's thick stack of manuscript paper, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.

Because it's really thick.

A4's paper page is full of English articles, and the so-called third of its thickness is more than one hundred pages. Brown immediately took the manuscript from Alice and said in surprise: "It seems that the content of this book is really a lot, just one-third?"

"harry-potter-and-the-philosopher\'s-stone, by-alice-wong" I don't know why, but everyone clearly saw that Alice's smile was really in a standard weird style: "Because the story took place in the UK, I wrote it in English. You can revise it according to the situation. As for the length..."

Her eyes rolled and her smile became even more strange: "The whole book looks like about 500,000 words. If all of them are printed, it will be about 400 A4 papers on both sides."

The girl said it lightly, but it was another matter to be accepted. Brown held the manuscript of more than 100 pages. Due to the fact that the chapters were divided into sections, he could see no less than ten paper pins pinned in the upper left corner. This is a really good rhythm. The first episode of the Seven-part is going to create a 400-page sixteen-page opening?

"Look, I'm right," Domingo was also stunned, a little confused and a little thankful, and said proudly: "Of course, it will take at least one novel like this for at least a year. Otherwise, if Alice's creation speed is really published too quickly, readers will not have time to digest it."

"Of course, I'll get bored if I always write a novel." Alice waved her hand and smiled very modestly: "So I'm also preparing for another magical novel series, and the two works will be published interactively. To talk about this Harry Potter children and teenagers' work, the other is purely serious adult magic."

The big news came one after another, but the editor-in-chief was not overwhelmed by joy: "Alice, you are just amateur writing after all, and you have two long series of novels at the same time? Are you sure you can get through it?"
Chapter completed!
