Writing Web Novels In America

Before he knew it, Neil Gaiman read the latest chapter of the book.

He closed his eyes and thought about it.

In essence, this novel is an old-fashioned story in which the protagonist defeats many senior characters with his special ability.

But

The background of the story, the special ability, really have some ideas.

Plus the rhythm is very strong.

Although it is not as complete as arcane.

However, the book's performance will not be bad.

Neil Gayman wanted to complain about the disordered structure of the novel, but he thought about the speed of Wang Jian's creation.

So he swallowed the words of his mouth.

And Greek mythology

Ladies and gentlemen

Neil Gayman holds his own outline in his hand and compares it to the extreme.

There is no sword and magic, and it also involves a lot of gods.

He looked at the message area of "the devil of heaven".

There are a lot of reader comments here.

Although there are some criticisms, most of them are praise and urge.

Well, there should be a market for this type of novel.

He picked up the phone, called his copyright agent and asked for the opinions of the major publishers.

As a writer who won the "World Fantasy Literature Award".

He has the privilege of directly contacting major publishers to know whether his ideas can be published.

Neil geiman, though, feels a bit constrained by this privilege.

Half an hour later, the agent sent the information back to Neil geiman.

"In addition to Candlestick publishing house is willing to give 8% royalty, other publishing houses still refuse to publish."

"Even..." The publishing agent muttered.

"Even what?" Neil asked.

"Even some editors call your creativity a miracle."

"Wonderful flowers?" Neil Gayman asked.

He tried to take a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

Then, he told the copyright agent, "go and get in touch wangwen.com And see what they're going to offer. "

"Do you want to post it on the website, too?" Exclaimed the copyright agent.

"Not necessarily." Neil Gayman took another look at the devil and said, "go and get in touch first."

"All right."

The copyright agent hangs up.

Neil geiman went back to his computer and checked it carefully by clicking on the "instructions for uploading works" on the website.

When he saw "works not signed, the copyright belongs to the author himself.". The author has the right to delete the work at any time.

Neil Gayman took the cup and drank the coffee.

Then, pull out the keyboard and type a few words on the web page.

American gods.

Synopsis: do you think it is the people who dominate the development of the United States?

No, never.

But gods, gods from all over the world.

But human belief also determines the power of God and even life and death.

So the old gods, such as Odin, rocky, and the goddess of resurrection, were unwilling to lose their believers, and they came to the United States one after another.

They fight for faith with new gods such as the God of high technology, the God of media and the God of automobile.

So what happens?

With these inputs completed, Neil geiman stood up and decided to wait for a message from the copyright agent before deciding whether to start importing the works as well.

At the moment, Wang Jian was just out of the codeword state.

He took out a piece of gum and chewed it while he began to search for the materials needed for the adaptation.

But all of a sudden, he saw the number of works under the fantasy Catalog: 2.

Someone uploaded fantasy works?

As soon as Wang Jian was pleased, he quickly checked.

This work is called the American gods, written by Neil Gayman.

Neil Gayman?

It's that, Neil Gayman?

How can this great God come to this small temple?

Wang Jian wondered if anyone had the same name.

Then his cell phone rang.

"Wang, Neil geiman's copyright agent, asked us what conditions we could give if he published his work on the website."

"It's Neil Gayman? Are you right? " Wang Jian asked in surprise as he looked at the computer.

"I confirmed that." "Because I've heard too much of a new idea," he said. All publishing houses are not optimistic, so the conditions are not good. "

"That should be why Neil geiman came to our website to publish his work."

Too bold an idea?This

For the cost of publishing works on the website, which is close to zero, this is not a disadvantage, OK?

"You talk to the other party, the bottom line I accept is 20% of the electronic royalty and 10% of the surrounding copyright."

"As long as it doesn't exceed the bottom line, we should keep the other party on our website anyway."

"All right." Tom replied.

After Tom hung up, Wang Jian began to read the brief introduction called "American gods".

He wanted to see what kind of wonderful ideas led to the failure of writers of Neil geiman's level to obtain good publishing conditions.

A moment later.

Wang Jian rubbed his eyes hard.

This idea

He thought for a moment, and finally said two words from his mouth: "wonderful."

Out of curiosity, Wang Jian is leaving a message to the work: then, who is the God from China?

I don't know whether it's because of Wang Jian's fame or just one message.

Neil Gelman quickly replied: "it is an important role in the famous Chinese mythological novel Journey to the west, and it is also the only human God."

Journey to the west?

Human form gods?

Then it can't be the first elder martial brother and the second elder martial brother.

Tang Changlao?

Is he a God?

It can't be that "elder martial brother is right" or "second elder martial brother is right", younger martial brother Sha?

Just as Wang Jian was going to continue to chat with each other, Tom's phone call came back.

"30% of the royalty, 10% of the surrounding copyright, the other side is not willing to give in."

Wang Jian thought for a moment.

At present, the site in addition to their own, but also need to have several anti beam role.

The general best-selling author, in fact, is more willing to cooperate with the publishing house.

Neil geiman's ideas are so wonderful that they are hard to come by.

So, Wang Jian replied, "yes, sign the contract as soon as possible."

"All right." Tom replied, "finally, Congratulations, you're Neil geiman's boss. At least, for the time being. "

When Wang Jian recalled "I am the great mage", he only took 7% of the royalty.

And now I'm going to share the royalties with Neil geiman.

He couldn't help but feel like a dream.

At the moment, Neil geiman has also received a message from the copyright agent.

"70% of electronic royalty, 90% of peripheral copyright. Moreover, it does not affect the distribution of the physical book of the work. "

Neil thought about the royalties given by the publishing house, and compared the royalties given by the website. He thought it was OK.

As for the surrounding copyright

Star Wars is already the cutting edge technology.

And the film and television difficulty of his "American gods" is several times that of "Star Wars".

When it comes to film and television, I will probably die long ago.

And the American gods has become a public copyright.

So he said, "yes."

PS: the difficulty in publishing the American gods is a fact, not a fiction.

Even now, this book has become a wonder in Europe and America.

Of course, if you throw it to the starting point
