It doesn’t matter if the royalties are not much. Compared to making money by writing, the dream of being a writer is more noble.
If the magazine does not proactively propose a price increase, the author will rarely bring it up.
Those who value royalties more than their dream of becoming a writer are full-time authors.
Full-time authors have to make a living by writing. If the royalties paid by "Aige" are too low, they will write for other magazines and will not rely solely on "Aige".
What's more, the author's pen name is free. Authors who can contribute to "Aige" will also have their manuscripts accepted by editors of the same type of youth magazines.
Therefore, in order to have a stable supply of high-quality manuscripts, magazines will retain some authors.
If a person only contributes articles to Aige under a pseudonym, his royalties will definitely increase.
Wen Ying had never received such treatment before. "Teenage Idol" broke through the siege among a number of youth romance novels, and each issue became more popular than the previous one. Wen Ying, the new author, finally caught the attention of Editor-in-Chief Han.
Han Qin glanced at Wen Ying and suddenly smiled:
"Xiaoyu, you and Editor Zou are acquainted, right? I don't care how you two met or how close your relationship is. I just want to tell you that your future holds endless possibilities. Don't be fooled by petty gains, and don't blindly trust other people's promises. Your editor, Xiao Niu, is very optimistic about you and has repeatedly recommended you to me. I also think it's time for Teen Idol to plan a stand-alone book. Your book is well-written, and your writing is valuable. We've decided to increase the Teen Idol manuscript fee to 240 yuan per thousand words, starting with the June issue. What do you think?"
Han Qin didn't have the ability to see through others' eyes, so she knew that Wen Ying and Zou Weijun were familiar with each other.
Instead, based on his own social experience, he believed that Zou Weijun arranged the conversation in the office of Chengdu Publishing Group in order to help "Teenage Idol" raise the publishing conditions!
This was to put pressure on the magazine and ask Han Qin to provide better publishing conditions. Han Qin did not want to be led by others, so she did not talk about the publication of "Youth Idol", but about the serialization during the "Aige" period.
——"Teenage Idol" is about to be serialized to the sixth issue. Based on the 300,000 words, it is only halfway through. It is very important to publish a single volume, and the magazine serialization must continue!
