"Late years, please urge those thousands of authors who have stopped updating. The editor-in-chief said that some authors have good writing skills. You can't destroy their self-confidence. Chat with me privately."
Just before leaving get off work, Lin Wannian received a "kind" talk from the head of his Group 6 department.
——
Lin Wannian, who had just traveled through time, reviewed the manuscript via email in the morning according to the original owner's memory. If he thought the manuscript was good, he would send a reply email to the author.
It was the first time for him to do this, and he was a little uncomfortable at first, but typing quickly on the keyboard had become muscle memory.
I finished reviewing manuscripts in the morning with great difficulty. My eyes were sore from reviewing. I didn't even have lunch and just lay down on my desk to rest.
He hadn't slept for a while when it was time for the afternoon work. He took out a loaf of bread from the original owner's desk, tore open the packaging with the corner of his mouth, and opened QQ.
99+ messages filled the QQ interface, and there were also 99+ friend requests. Five author groups came into view, and below them were messages sent by individual authors. Lin Wannian felt his scalp tingling after reading them.
He didn’t even eat the bread. With trembling hands, he clicked on the message from the top author.
(2 books) Bunny Guaiguai: Editor, my book has passed the security review. Could you please pick up my work "xxxx"? Thank you.
(2 books) Bunny Guaiguai: Heart jpg.
Lin Wannian copied the author's book title and opened the author's backstage. He pasted the author's book title in the 20,000-word contract pool. Soon the author's book title appeared. He picked up the book and sent a short message to the author.
Switch to QQ to inform her that she has been fished out. Then delete this author on this interface and move on to the next one.
(4 books) Liangliyu: Brother Nian, hey, I have started a new book. It has been sent to the backend for review. Remember to sign my work "xxx"
(4th book) Liangliyu: Thank you for your hard work. (Bow)
Lin Wannian followed the previous steps. This platform only signs books, not people. Usually, when an old author starts a new book, as long as it passes the security review, the original owner will sign the contract.
——
(3 books) On one side: Brother Nian, my book "xxx" has too many borders and is now blocked by the system. Please enable modification permission.
——
(7th book): Brother Nian, I want to correct the typos in "xxx", please enable modification permissions.
——
(2+Big Brother) Yu Lu: Brother Nian, I found a lot of typos when I was typing, can you help me check them out?
——
(11) A dream on a rainy day: Brother Nian, writing books is so tiring. Every book fails, but I can’t bear to stop writing.
…
Lin Wannian was dazzled by all the problems, but he still helped solve them one by one. After all, his current identity was a novel editor.
A tough profession.
To be an editor at a well-known online literature platform, you must not only have the ability to identify talent, but also the passion to serve the authors wholeheartedly.
At the same time, you must have a strong mentality. If the author is depressed and complaining, you must be like a lantern to warm the author's heart and motivate him to move forward.
There are also routine weekly departmental reports on analyzing the top popular novel topics.
This is what Lin learned from the original owner's memory in his later years.
He worked all afternoon until his hands were tired from typing away. By six in the evening, when it was time to get off work, his colleagues in the department had already left, but Lin Wannian still had to deal with the matters of his own authors who had failed before leaving get off work.
When the website first started, since the books on the platform were free, you could sign a contract as long as you wrote 20,000 words.
The original owner was full of enthusiasm and frantically recruited authors on major platforms. He would sign a contract with anyone who sent him an email. This made him a model worker in the editorial department.
