Not to mention places far away, in Chengdu itself, there is a youth writer named Song Chan. The sales of her originally published novels were mediocre, but this year they were reprinted and put on the market.
The new waistband's slogan is "A masterpiece by the first-prize winner of the 7th New Concept Writing Competition."
Zou Weijun knew this so clearly because Song Chan's book was handled by the publishing department where Zou Weijun worked from the first edition to the second edition. However, the book was in the charge of Zou Weijun's colleague, and Zou Weijun himself did not handle it.
Wen Ying hadn't expected to hear Song Chan's name from Zou Weijun, so she casually asked, "Is her book selling well after the reprint?"
"It's definitely better than before. With the title of first prize winner of the New Concept Essay Competition, some readers will recognize it."
This is also the reason why Zou Weijun asked Wen Ying whether she wanted to use her real name.
Zou Weijun has read Song Chan's book and found it lacking in originality. Even so, the reprinted editions have sold better than before, demonstrating the value of the New Concept Competition.
But it would not be wrong to say that the reprinted version sold very well. Song Chan was unlucky. The reprint of her novel coincided with the hot sales of "Hush, Little Secret". Although the two books were of completely different genres, they were both published by the same publishing department. When "Hush, Little Secret" was reprinted again and again, the publishing editor responsible for the reprint of Song Chan's novel was also transferred to Zou Weijun's team to help.
In short, after Song Chan's novel was reprinted with a new slogan, sales increased, but not as good as initially expected. This is a typical example of a lack of strength and a failure to sell no matter how much promotion is done. Unfortunately, it happened to coincide with the release of "Hush, Little Secret".
Wen Ying didn't say anything after hearing this, she just said that she needed to think about it.
A pen name has its advantages, and a real name also has its advantages.
If Wen Ying doesn't care about the halo of New Concept, it would be best to use a pen name. She feels especially safe wearing a vest!
"Please let me think about it."
