Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Chapter 5: be rejected

   In the lobby, Kevin is sitting on the sofa and waiting, looking a little bit irritable.

"Sir, I have handed over your manuscript to the editor of Zella. A result will be given when she reviews it. However, I have to advise you not to have too much hope for certain things." The blond-haired girl Speaking to Kevin.

   "Dear madam, thank you for your help. Oh, I think the Zera editor you mentioned should be the result soon, why not, I will wait here for a while." Kevin said.

   Kevin is thinking that even if the editors see the previous chapter, they will be impressed by the delicate and mature text, and they will quickly make a decision.

   But he wouldn't know that Zela didn't mean to read it at all at this time, she just opened the manuscript at will, and then glanced at the title.

"Jane Eyre, huh, he is indeed a young man. As soon as I read the title of the book, I know it was written for a girl named Jane Eyre. It is a good thing to write a book for love. But such stories are too old-fashioned. Now. As the most avant-garde in the UK, Dehai Publishing House, how could it be possible to publish these old stories."

   After finishing speaking, Zella didn't even have the idea of ​​looking down, so he put it aside.

   Kevin here has been waiting for more than an hour, and he has to go back to school in the afternoon, so he doesn't want to wait any longer. I plan to go and find this editor Zela personally.

But the blond-haired girl stopped him, and then said, "Sir, editor Zera may be busy. Would you like to come back in a few days? There should be news in a few days. Besides, it's not in your manuscript. Have you left your contact number? If it is reviewed, we will contact you by phone."

   Kevin heard it and thought about it, the other party also made sense. He simply left Dehai Publishing House, and then took the bus back to the University of Edinburgh.

   After Kevin returned to school, he saw many classmates gathered together, it seemed that something happened. When he came closer, he realized that it was Augustine's father who came to the school to give a speech today. Before the speech, some classmates were asking for autographs around Old Augustine.

   These classmates who asked for autographs also included Kevin’s best friend Kovani, and Kevin doesn’t blame him. After all, everyone has the right to choose an idol. Besides, he has no prejudice against Augustine's father.

   It is a good thing that a writer can get so much welcome here, and it also allows Kevin to see his future self. Perhaps, when he publishes the works of those British writers on the earth one by one, the person asking for autographs will be several times, dozens of times bigger than this scene...

   Augustine also walked with his father, including Linda. For a while, this family seemed to have become the core of the entire University of Edinburgh. Some students who were reading books in the library also ran over to autograph the books published by Augustine's father.

   Maybe this is the result Linda wants. Countless people surround her. In the future, she may come into contact with the film and television circles and play a role in Augustin's script.

   Kovani saw Kevin's figure, and then stepped out of the crowd.

   "Hi, Kevin, do you know? Augustine's father is coming to our school to speak today? Oh, sorry, maybe I shouldn't talk about this person in front of you." Kovani remembered something at this time.

   "It's okay, I also like his writing style." Kevin said.

   "Really? I thought you would hate this family because of Linda."

   "No, I'm not that kind of person. Go ahead, do what you should do. I'll check the information in the library and listen later." Kevin said.

   "Man, you are amazing. This is the Kevin I know."

   After that, Kovani went on to ask for the autograph of the author in his heart. And Kevin is thinking about how to quickly become a writer, how to become the protagonist in today's lively.

   Augustine’s father, after signing his classmates, walked into the lecture hall of the University of Edinburgh under the arrangement of the principal. This is one of the most advanced lecture halls in the world. You must know that this school has produced countless celebrities and elites. Naturally, many people are invited back here to give lectures. Therefore, the school made the hall very large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

   Augustine’s father just told about his literary creation experience on it. By the way, he also promoted the possibility that his novel might be made into a movie. It should be promoted in advance.

   Due to his father's relationship, Augustine has always been a key training object of the University of Edinburgh. The principals and teachers also believed that Augustine would become a famous writer like his father in the future, and could even win the Nobel Prize in Literature, becoming the pride of the University of Edinburgh and even Scotland.

   This is in stark contrast to Kevin. During the days when Kevin's father owed debts to avoid his enemies, Kevin had not been in the mood to attend class, and almost slept in class. It was at that time that Kevin was regarded by some teachers as one of the most promising students at the University of Edinburgh. Except for the class teacher Collison, almost no other teachers think that he will have a future in the future.

  Three days later, Kevin felt that the time should be almost too, he really didn't want to wait any longer. Therefore, he plans to go to Dehai Publishing House to ask about the results.

   After class, he took the bus to Dehai Publishing House again. The receptionist sitting in the lobby was still the girl with blond hair. After that day of communication, Kevin knew that this girl was called Alice.

   "Hi, beautiful Alice, very happy, we meet again." Kevin greeted each other politely for the first time.

   "Hello, I am also very happy, we meet again. Oh, the purpose of your coming this time is..."

   "There is no news about the articles I submitted to your publisher a few days ago, so I want to ask about the results." Kevin directly stated his purpose of coming here.

   "Well, I'll go in and ask the editor Zela for you. Maybe she is too busy to forget about this." Alice said.

   "Well, I will trouble you."

  Waiting is a particularly tormenting thing. Kevin ate up this kind of torment when he wrote articles on the earth for submission. And often there is no reply for one month after submission.

   But this is in the parallel world of Britain. The "Jane Eyre" he submitted is a masterpiece. It stands to reason that the other party shouldn't hesitate for so long.

   is still the editor Zela with the 38E hood. She is reading the manuscripts submitted by some writers. After hearing the knock on the door, she said softly: Please come in.

   "Alice, what's the matter?" Zella looked up and found that it was the front desk clerk of the company, so she asked curiously.

   "Zera, the man with the manuscript is here again the other day. He wants to ask you how you review his manuscript?" Alice asked.

   Actually, Alice had already guessed that Kevin’s manuscript would be dropped. But because of Kevin's perseverance, she decided to help ask questions.

   "Which person? Which manuscript? We at Dehai Publishing House receive a lot of manuscripts every day. I really don't know which one you are referring to?" Obviously, Zella has forgotten about this.

   "That's the student-like teenager I told you that day. It seems that his manuscript is called "Jane Eyre"." Alice reminded.

   At this time, Zella thought of something, and then said: "Oh, that manuscript is too immature and does not meet the requirements of our publishing house at all, so you go back and tell the other party and ask him to practice his writing before submitting it."

   In fact, Zella has never read anything in "Jane Eyre", but he is embarrassed to say that he has not read it. After all, as an editor, the main responsibility is to review the manuscript. If you openly say that you don't read some of the manuscripts, your reputation will not be very good when you spread it out. Therefore, I just randomly compiled a reason for the naive writing.

   Alice just came over to ask, but Zella said no, she had to go back and tell Kevin the result.
