Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

"Dear Mr. Wall, it's time to select the gold medal writer again. May I ask which writer you recommend to participate in the selection?"

Wall was reading the newspaper in his seat when suddenly his colleague came over and asked.

As soon as Wall heard it, he remembered that it was time for Time Magazine to select the gold medal writer again.

"Time" will select a gold medal writer, a silver medal writer, and a bronze medal writer every four years. Gold medal writers mainly refer to people who have made great contributions to Time Magazine, such as popularity or sales.

In addition to a cash prize of £50,000, the winners will also receive a gold medal writer's trophy. Of course, honor matters above all else for many writers. After all, being able to become a gold medal writer in a well-known newspaper is a representative of strength + talent.

This is an award established by Paul Lawson, the founder of Time Magazine, before his death. The purpose is to inspire and attract more outstanding writers to contribute to Time Magazine. After all, he deeply knows that an excellent writer has a huge influence on a newspaper. It is also under the encouragement of Paul Lawson this award that "Time Magazine" can come to where it is today.

Wall heard it, and then said: "I think it should be Kevin. Although he has published articles in the newspaper for less than a year, the popularity and sales he brought to our newspaper are obvious to all. So, I think this time I recommend him as a gold medal writer."

"Okay, then I'll put Kevin's name on it."

Wall's colleagues are responsible for counting the writers recommended by each editor, so after hearing Wall's recommendation list, he turned to ask other colleagues.

The selection process for gold medal writers is that each editor recommends a writer, and then puts them on the Internet. In addition to allowing readers to vote, the leader of the newspaper has to make the final review. so. Every year, the colleagues in charge of this matter will go to count the list.

Usually, the writers recommended by the editors are those who have published articles in Time Magazine for a long time and have a stable readership. For example, Bogut et al.

But Wall felt that since Kevin published an article in "Time Magazine". Let "Time Magazine" into the minds of many readers, and won a lot of praise. so. Although Kevin has not published many articles in this newspaper, and the time is not very long. But he still recommends it.

Wall felt that it was necessary to tell Kevin about this. After all, after he recommended it, the readers had to vote in the end, and the one with the most votes would have the chance to win the title of Gold Medal Writer.

So, after drinking a cup of tea, Wall called Kevin,

And told him about the election of the gold medal writer.

"What? Mr. Wall. You said you recommended me to be selected as the gold medal writer of "Time Magazine"?" Kevin said in surprise.

"Yes, since you wrote a column in our newspaper, you have brought a lot of sales and readers to our newspaper. I think such contributions can be selected as gold medal writers." Mr. Wall said.

"But as far as I know, not everyone is eligible for the title of your gold medal writer. It must be a writer who has published articles in newspapers and periodicals for a long time and has received certain praise. Although I have received a lot of praise, but I published in your newspaper The time of the article is not long."

Kevin has seen the selection news of "Time Magazine" gold medal writer, so he has some understanding of some of the situation.

"Don't worry, there can be exceptions to everything. Besides, with your current grades, who else is more suitable to be a gold medal writer than you."

"But…."

"Dear Kevin, don't be. Believe me, you can be called a gold medal writer. You are the best."

This is the confidence that Kevin once told him. Now Wall has conveyed this belief back to Kevin.

"Okay, thank you for taking me seriously."

"Well, I'll let you know as soon as the voting starts. I believe your readers will help you become the top voter."

This is why Wall decided to tell Kevin the news in advance, because he believed that Kevin's huge readership would be willing to register as a member of "Time" for him, or spend money to vote for Kevin. In this way, it also helped "Time Magazine" increase its popularity a lot.

But as soon as Wall hung up the phone with Kevin, Laven Dorff, the vice president of Time Magazine, asked him to come over.

Laven Dorff is in charge of the selection of gold medal writers, when his subordinates bring up the list of writers recommended by each editor. He looked at it roughly. When he saw that Wall recommended Kevin's name, he curiously asked Wall to come in.

"Hi. Dear Mr. Raven Dove, I heard you called me?" Wall said after knocking on the door.

"Yes. Come in. I have a question that needs your answer." Laven Dorff said to Wall.

So Wall walked into Raven Dorff's office and sat down.

"I don't know what questions Laven Dorff has? Is it about my recommendation of Kevin as the gold medal writer this time?"

Wall already had a premonition that Laven Dorff called him in for this matter, so he asked in advance.

"Yes, the standard for our newspaper to select this gold medal writer has always been a writer who has made some contributions to the newspaper and has published articles in the newspaper for a long time. But Kevin has only started publishing articles in our newspaper in the past few months. I am afraid it is as high as Not meeting this requirement." Laven Dorff expressed his thoughts.

"Dear Mr. Laven Dove, I naturally know this rule. Although Kevin has not published articles in our newspaper for a long time, his articles have won us a lot of readers and sales. And he wrote " "Ode to a Nightingale" also ushered in historic attention for our newspapers. I think with these, he can win the title of gold medal writer." Wall explained.

After hearing Wall's explanation, Laven Dorff seemed to feel that it made some sense. After all, he also knows that the sales of newspapers and periodicals have been at their peak recently. All of these results are also due to Kevin's column, which has attracted many readers.

Laven Dorff thought for a while, and then said: "Alright then. Let's recommend Kevin to the top. As for whether he can qualify for selection in the end, it depends on the votes of the readers."

"Of course, everything is left to the readers to judge. This is also the purpose of our newspaper. Oh, thank you, Mr. Raven Dorff."

When Wall heard that Laven Dorff finally agreed with his point of view, his face was also full of smiles. After all, he believes that as long as Kevin can be selected, becoming a gold medal writer will become very simple. (to be continued)
