Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Kevin is the protagonist of tonight's banquet. There is no doubt that many people came over to toast with him with champagne in their hands at this time. Wang Kaiwen also met many seniors in the British literary world for a long time.

These seniors saw that Kevin was still so humble and kind after he won the title of poet laureate, and they were very impressed with him. At this time, they finally understood the difference between Kevin and his peers.

Jennings hadn't talked with Kevin since meeting him in Edinburgh. Taking this opportunity, he also took Kevin to sit in a corner and chatted.

Jennings already admired Kevin's talent very much, and after Kevin won the title of poet laureate, he was even more sure that he was right.

Jennings also said that after returning home, he would carefully read "The Collection of All Beings" a few more times, and if possible, he would select a few poems in it to be included in British textbooks. After all, every song in this collection of poems is so wonderful that they can be used as templates for students to learn.

Kevin is very grateful to Jennings for his importance to him, so at this time he is also chatting with the other party while toasting the other party.

Tonight, the night is beautiful, and the air is full of romance and literature. But all of this is related to a man named Kevin, because of his award, he became the protagonist tonight. Perhaps, in his 20s, he won the highest honorary title in the British poetry world. This record is unprecedented.

Kevin also deeply believes that unless there will be a person from the earth like himself in this parallel world, and he must also love literature and have a thing called a literary memory system. Otherwise, this literary achievement of mine will never be broken by anyone.

It was already late at night when the banquet ended, and Kevin returned to his room at the Prince Hotel under the arrangement of the staff of the British Poetry Association. Since he drank a lot tonight, he fell asleep right after lying down.

When I woke up the next day, it was already 12 noon. After sleeping so much, Kevin obviously felt a little dizzy. However, the immediate problem is to deal with his stomach. so. After washing up, he went downstairs to enjoy a lunch.

Kevin after lunch. I have to rush to the Royal Poetry Publishing House to sign "The Collection of All Beings". He hadn't finished signing the 1,000-volume autographed version before the banquet, so he still had to settle the matter at this time.

When Kevin walked to the gate of the Royal Poetry Publishing House, Louis waved to him with a smile.

"Kevin, you're finally here. I thought you drank too much last night and forgot about it." Louis said with a smile.

"Ha ha,

Louis, take it easy. I am not drunk. Just overslept. Oh, you want me for something else? If not, I want to go and sign the rest first. "Kevin also said with a smile.

"Of course. An important client is coming this afternoon. This matter is related to you, so we have to go there together." Louis said pretending to be mysterious.

"Oh! Customer? What kind of customer? What does it have to do with me?" Kevin asked curiously.

"It's like this. Your winning the title of Poet Laureate not only surprised the British literary world, but even some neighboring countries also reported it. Therefore, Sweden plans to translate your "All Living Beings" into their country for publication." Lewis Speaking of.

"What? You mean that "The Collection of All Beings" may be published in Sweden?" Kevin asked in surprise.

"Yes, this is such an excellent collection of poems, and they are also very interested. In the afternoon, the publishing house in Sweden will come to London to talk to us about this matter. You are the author of "The Collection of All Beings", so this matter You have to be there, too," Lewis said.

Kevin signed a sharing contract with the Royal Poetry Publishing House. According to the British law in this parallel world, the author's consent must be obtained when the publishing house develops any channels. Therefore, Louis had to invite Kevin to participate.

It is a good thing that "The Collection of All Beings" can be published in other countries, and of course Kevin will not refuse. Besides, it might also give me an extra income, so why not do it? Sweden is the place where the Nobel Prize is awarded. Maybe as I slowly open up the market, the Nobel Prize in Literature will belong to me.

"Louis. I don't think I have a problem. After all, poetry collections can be published in other countries, which is what every author hopes for." Kevin said.

"That's good. Don't go so fast to sign the autograph right now. Let's sit and drink tea in President Geraf's office first. In the afternoon, we will go to receive the arrival of the Swedish Publishing House. If possible, we will still be there by then." We need to sign a contract." Louis confessed.

"Okay, it just so happened that I drank a little too much last night, so I'll drink more tea to clear my stomach."

So, Kevin walked into the office of President Geralf with Louis, and then drank tea slowly in it. Although the tea made by the British is not comparable to that of China on Earth, it also has a unique taste in it. Kevin drank too much, and slowly got used to it.

In the afternoon, Kevin followed Geraf, Louis and others to London International Airport to receive the staff of the Swedish Publishing House. This time they came here with a total of five people, all from the same publishing house.

The name of this publishing house is Swedish Translation Publishing House, and you can tell from the name that it specializes in translation and publication of foreign works. Therefore, their translation of various language versions is quite professional in Sweden.

The Royal Poetry Publishing House has already arranged a place for everyone to discuss with each other, so after meeting and introducing each other, everyone came to the appointed place together.

"Hello, Mr. Kevin, I'm really glad to meet you in person. Your "Anthology of All Beings" is simply amazing. It is the most perfect collection of poems I have ever seen. I have lived half my life without seeing A collection of poems can be so good." A slightly older elder said.

Since the other party is from Sweden, after finishing speaking, a young female translator next to him needs to say it again. Of course, it can be seen from the words spoken by the other party that the other party can speak English. It's just that like most people, they usually don't communicate directly in English when there is an interpreter.

"Thank you for the compliment, it makes me so happy. I think I just wrote what I should write. As for whether it is good or bad, maybe God has the final say." Kevin said with a smile.

"God has the final say. Mr. Kevin really deserves to be the British Poet Laureate, and his words are different. Perhaps, your work will have a very considerable market in Sweden. I am full of expectations for it .”

With the words of the old man, the topic of foreign copyrights began to slowly open. The Swedish Translation Publishing House has clearly expressed their desire for the translation copyright of Kevin's "The Collection of All Beings", and they also expressed that they will use the most professional team to translate "The Collection of All Beings" and then publish it in Sweden.

The Royal Poetry Publishing House and Kevin have already seen each other's sincerity, and now Kevin also needs foreign markets. Therefore, they agreed to publish the Swedish version of "The Collection of All Beings".

After agreeing to the publishing request of the other party, the next step is to start talking about the manuscript fee. The Swedish Translation Publishing House has stated that they will buy out all the Swedish text copyrights of "The Collection of All Beings", which means that they will be responsible for all the Swedish market related to "The Collection of All Beings".

Of course, this is also a method chosen by many publishing houses when they publish works from other countries. After all, in this way, they can have more flexibility in the market for the work, and also have more control over the sales volume and market value of this work in other countries’ markets. Channels play a greater role. Therefore, Kevin and the Royal Poetry Press have no objection to this.

"Everyone, since you don't have too many objections to our request, maybe we should talk about the royalties for the Swedish version of "The Collection of All Beings" next." The person from the Swedish Translation Publishing House said at this time. (to be continued)
