My Lady Fairy

Chapter 617

the following is "my fairy Miss 617. Chapter 617 don't be happy so early" - please enjoy it!

&Nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp "wait a minute!" Zheng Yujie said in surprise, "without the middle publisher, the author's income must be greatly improved?" Zheng Yujie has been the deputy editor in chief for several years. Naturally, she won't be unaware of the small Jiujiu of the publishing house. After listening to Yang Guo's introduction, Zheng Yujie immediately grasped the key point.

&Nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp Yang Guo nodded and said, "yes, in the past, authors were able to obtain 35% of sales, but this proportion has increased to 70% since the previous year."

&Nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & is 70% high? There is no need to compare. Anyone with a little common sense knows the terrifying attraction of 70% to the author! Zheng Yujie knows better, not to mention the more demanding domestic publishing houses. Through large foreign publishers, the author gets only 17% royalties. 5%, not everyone can get this proportion!

&Nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp it can be predicted how much the 70% share model will hit the traditional publishers! Zheng Yujie asked suspiciously, "if there is such a good platform, it has broken the original market business model, and there will certainly be traditional publishers unite to resist it! How can it be allowed to develop?"

&Nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp for this problem, Yang Guo is not very clear. After all, he has only learned about the existence of this platform from the side. As for the business struggle behind it, Yang Guo has not read the relevant reports. Of course, he was not interested in getting to the bottom of it before.

&Nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp Zheng Yujie had to speculate by herself: "there may be two situations. The first is that this platform is too strong. Amazon is already an online sales channel that many publishers can't give up. They can't kill thousands of enemies and lose 800 to fight with Amazon."

&Nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp "second, this platform is not a big threat to traditional publishers. Unless it is a gifted author, he can directly launch a book with clear logic and fluent writing without the check and sorting of publishers."

&Nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & a foreign writer once said in his book, "the more writers write, the more frequently they write, the better they can write. But if we write more and don't realize that we write badly, how can we make progress?" What is the role of the editor? It is to carefully read the author's works, and then give professional suggestions for revision. Only in this way can the final published works be faultless, and the author can make progress from continuous revision.

&Nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp the books published by yourself are likely to have a lot of errors and disadvantages. As readers, paying for books, of course, is willing to buy a good work. In that way, books with mature publishers will naturally become their first choice.

&Nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp Yang Guo nodded and said, "there may be both cases. Since the threat is not big enough, there is no need to fight to the death with too much worry."

&Nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp "ah, don't talk like me!" Zheng Yujie patted Yang Guo's arm and said coquettishly. Where is Zheng Yujie who cares about these small details? Quarreling with Yang Guo is just a manifestation of joy and happiness.

&Nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp Yang Guo scratched his head. He said with some embarrassment, "there are so many problems, is my idea just on paper again?" It seems that the route of Self Publishing will not work!

&Nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp "who said that!" Zheng Yujie smiled and hugged Yang Guo's arm, looked at Yang Guo sweetly and said, "on the contrary, the idea you said is very feasible, and maybe we can rewrite the history of domestic publishing!"

&Nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp "what do you mean?" Yang Guo was a little confused. "Doesn't it mean that self publishing can't compare with traditional publishers?"

&Nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp "are we self publishing?" Zheng Yujie asked, "did you forget what we were going to do at the beginning?"

&Nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp "open a publishing house." Yang Guo felt a little too intimate with Zheng Yujie's action. With a red face, he pulled his arm out of the two mountains with amazing elasticity.

&Nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp "yes!" Zheng Yujie didn't take care of Yang Guo's little action at this time. She smiled brightly, "we are traditional publishers, but since we don't have a better choice, why can't we break the Convention and take the route of semi Self Publishing?"

&Nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp "you mean..." Yang Guo's eyes lit up.

&Nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & yes, Zheng Yujie wants to publish her own books with the help of Self Publishing channels as a publisher. In fact, Yang Guo thought so at the beginning, but he was just confused by the two modes of Self Publishing and traditional publishing that Zheng Yujie said - after all, he is not a professional in the publishing industry.

&Nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp how is this business model?

&Nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp to take a very simple example, Zheng Yujie opened this publishing house, which also has the editing department for manuscript review and proofreading, the technical department for typesetting, edition matching and cover design, as well as some miscellaneous departments responsible for publishing applications, batch numbers and so on. However, the final printing, channel communication and so on can be omitted, because they are directly "outsourced" to Amazon International Library.

&Nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp in that way, Zheng Yujie's Publishing House saves a lot of work. While simplifying the scale, it can also ensure the quality of published books, which is unmatched by pure self publishing.

&Nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp "but don't be happy so early." Zheng Yujie poured cold water on Yang Guo, who was so pure that his blood was boiling. "Now there are still two problems that we need to weigh."

&Nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp "first of all, how can we sell our books, and then our publishing house will not lose money."

&Nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp since it is a self publishing platform, as I said before, the books here are a mixture of good and evil people. How difficult it is to stand out from the vast works of general quality like the starry sky!

&Nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & of course, there are also successful examples. The most representative is Amanda? Hawking. This Hawking is certainly not that God like physicist Hawking. Amanda? Hawking, a young girl born after 1980 in the United States, was like an inspirational story. At the beginning, she could only support her writing dream by doing ordinary service work, but she was rejected by the publishing house for many times.

&Nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp subsequently, in 2010, she published nine e-books such as "super tribe" through Amazon International Library, and sold millions of copies in just one year. Among them, the super clan series is the best, and it is even known as an amazing work that combines the advantages of twilight and princess diary.

&Nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp the film copyright was also sold last year, and the script was written by the screenwriter of District 9. Speaking of it, Zheng Yujie also knows the trilogy "super tribe". Dongxin failed to win over his old enemy Yilin publishing house. Otherwise, Zheng Yujie can help Yang Guo win over the translation of this trilogy!
