Chapter 20 Publisher signs a contract

Fukukawa Book Library This is a publishing house that An Yilun also recommends to Kenichi Hasegawa

When Kenichi Hasegawa took the tram to the Fukukawa Library, almost two hours had passed. The place where he lived was not close to the Fukukawa Library.

Do you have an appointment? The beautiful front desk lady asked in a gentle tone

Yes, my name is Kenichi Hasegawa, and I have made an agreement with the editor Ms. Machida Yuanko

Miss Machida? Well, there is indeed an appointment, and it is almost the same time. Miss Machida is now in the editorial department on the fifth floor. Her name is in her office. Just go straight up.

Thanks!

Take the elevator and go upstairs directly. According to what the front desk lady said, Kenichi Hasegawa found the door with a Machida Yuanzi sign hanging

Tap it gently

Please enter

Hello, editor Machida, I am Kenichi Hasegawa, and I was also introduced by An Yilun. After Kenichi Hasegawa entered the house, he said very politely

At the same time, Kenichi Hasegawa also looked at Machida Yuanzi. She looked around thirty years old, and her capable short hair had just covered her ears. Not only did she have a hairstyle, but she also exuded a capable atmosphere. Just one glance, you can tell that this is a strong woman who is absolutely serious about her work and should be more responsible.

Hello, I am the editor of the Fukukawa Library, Machida Yuanko Machida Yuanko stretched out her white and tender right hand and said to Kenichi Hasegawa. At the same time, she was looking at Kenichi Hasegawa, a high school student who looked ordinary, would never be found in the crowd, and it was not noticeable at all.

However, Kenichi Hasegawa has a little special temperament

After a very polite manner, Kenichi Hasegawa handed over a printed manuscript to Machida Yuanko: This is "Tokyo Ghoul" written by me, please read it

An Yi strongly recommends Hasegawa's works, so I am looking forward to Hasegawa's works. After all, generally speaking, the quality of works that can be recommended by An Yi is relatively good.

Machida Yuanko looked at the manuscript handed over by Kenichi Hasegawa

Look directly

As an editor, when she read the manuscript, she usually read it roughly, first make a rough evaluation of the manuscript, and then determine whether it is worth reading it carefully. After all, the editor's work is relatively busy. If it weren't for An Yilun's recommendation, she wouldn't pay too much attention to it.

Machida Yuanzi opened the manuscript and originally planned to read the content of the manuscript according to the management, but as she looked, her reading speed began to slow down.

To be honest, the writing style of this novel is not very outstanding. Of course, it is still very good if it is compared with the average high school student's writing skills.

This did not go beyond Machida Yuanko's expectations

However, the content of the novel made Machida Yuanko feel amazing

To be honest, Machida Yuanko is not responsible for many novels of this type, but she is responsible for more daily novels of youth love

However, she also has a high appreciation of other types of novels, which is one of the reasons why An Yilun recommended Machida Yuanko to Kenichi Hasegawa.

In about two hours, Machida Yuanko put down the manuscript in her hand, and her eyes were filled with excitement: Hasegawa, no, Hasegawa, your work is really good. Although the writing style is not gorgeous, it can use simple writing style to draw a cruel and complex world. A society composed of human-eating ghouls and humans...

Thank you for your praise. A smile appeared on Kenichi Hasegawa's face, which was praised by the editor. This is definitely a very happy thing for a novel creator.

The editors all agree with it so, so there should be no problem with publishing his novels

Kenichi Hasegawa quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Although due to the system, Kenichi Hasegawa had a certain confidence.

But in fact, I was a little nervous

Now, the stone in my heart is about to be put down

After some conversation, the novel was finally confirmed to be published. Machida Yuanzi, a senior editor, directly took out a publishing quota in his name. However, because Kenichi Hasegawa is a newcomer, the publishing house gave Kenichi Hasegawa not high, with an 8% share.

In other words, if a book is sold for 500 yen, then if you sell it for a book in Mei, Kenichi Hasegawa can get forty yen

This guy is not very high, but for newcomers, it is a relatively ideal price

Moreover, this is because Machida Yuanko is more optimistic about the book written by Kenichi Hasegawa, so the price is slightly higher.

Kenichi Hasegawa doesn't care much about these things either

Although Kenichi Hasegawa hopes to make money, he has never thought about how much he wants to make

At the beginning, Kenichi Hasegawa just wanted to earn his own living expenses, if possible, plus the tuition for school

If possible, send some money to your family

So, as long as you write it, you can make money, and he doesn't care much about how much you make, how much you make, he doesn't care much about it.

Especially when he was writing this novel, his writing skills had just reached level 3, and his level was not very high.

Kenichi Hasegawa thought about it and after the first volume was sold, if the score was good, it would naturally get more royalty shares in the next volume.

Moreover, even if the sales of the Tokyo Ghoul he wrote were not good, even if it was cut in half after two or three volumes, Kenichi Hasegawa didn't care much. With a systematic approach, his writing skills will continue to improve, and the novels he wrote will get better and better. It's not difficult to make money later.

Of course, if the publisher gives more money, he doesn't mind

But Kenichi Hasegawa is quite accurate in positioning his identity. What else do you want to do if a newcomer?

Some writers in novels can copy all the books they have read at will, and when the novel is serialized or published, the publisher tries to increase the price. How could such a thing happen in reality

Signing the contract, Kenichi Hasegawa can publish it after waiting for the novel to be corrected, arranged illustrations and other processes.

The specific publication time of the novel is about one month, or even less than one month.

At the same time, according to the contract, this novel will be printed about 10,000 copies for the first time it is published.

In other words, Hasegawa Ken will get a royalty of 400,000 yen when he codes together.
