My Immortal Big Missy Chapter 617: Don’t be so happy…

"Wait a minute!" Zheng Yujie said in surprise, "Without the intermediate publishers, the author's income must be greatly improved?" Zheng Yujie has been an associate editor for several years. Naturally, she will not I don't know, after listening to Yang Guo's introduction, Zheng Yujie immediately caught the point.

Yang Guo nodded and said: "Yes, the author was able to get 35% of sales before, but since the year before last, this proportion has increased to 70%."

Is seventy percent high? No need to compare, anyone with a little bit of common sense knows that 70% is terribly attractive to the author! Zheng Yujie understands better, let alone the more demanding domestic publishing houses (some books are bought out without royalties, even if they are given, they are only at the level of 6%~10%), through large foreign publishers, the authors obtain The royalties are only 17.5%, which is not necessarily available to everyone!

It can be foreseen how much the 70% high-sharing model will hit traditional publishers! Zheng Yujie asked suspiciously: "If there is such a good platform, then it has broken the original market operation model, and there will definitely be traditional publishers who will unite to boycott it! How can it be allowed to develop? "

For this issue, Yang Guo is not very clear. After all, he has only learned about the existence of this platform from the side. As for the hidden commercial struggle, Yang Guo has not read relevant reports. Of course, he was not interested in it before. Get to the bottom of it.

Zheng Yujie had to speculate on its own: "There may be two situations. The first is that this platform is too strong. Amazon is already an online sales channel for many publishers that cannot be given up. They cannot kill the enemy. Baidi went to fight Amazon to kill you and die."

"Secondly, this platform does not pose a big threat to traditional publishers. Only the kind of talented authors can directly publish a book with clear logic and smooth writing without the publisher’s check and sorting. 'S books."

A foreign writer once said in his book: "The more and more often a writer writes, the better he can write. But if we write more, we don’t realize that it’s bad. So how do we make progress?" What is the role of the editor, is to read the author’s work carefully, and then give professional revision opinions, so that the final published work can make people unable to find faults, and the author will constantly Make progress in revision.

Books that are completely self-published are likely to contain a lot of errors and ills. As a reader, if you pay for a book, you are willing to buy a masterpiece. Books with mature publishers will naturally become their first choice.

Yang Guo nodded and said: "There may be both situations. Since the threat is not big enough, then there is no need to worry too much to fight for life and death."

"Yeah, don't talk like me!" Zheng Yujie slapped Yang Guo's arm and groaned. Zheng Yujie is someone who cares about these small details, and quarreling with Yang Guo is just an expression of joy and happiness.

Yang Guo scratched his head, and he said embarrassedly: "There are so many problems, is my idea just on paper?" It seems that the self-publishing route will not work!

"Who said it!" Zheng Yujie said with a smile on Yang Guo's arm, and looked at Yang Guo sweetly, "On the contrary, the idea you said is very feasible, and maybe we can rewrite the domestic The history of the publishing industry!"

"What do you mean?" Yang Guo is a little confused, "Isn't self-publishing inferior to traditional publishers?"

"Are we self-publishing?" Zheng Yujie asked rhetorically, "You forgot, what did we do in the beginning?"

"Opening the publishing house." Yang Guo felt a bit too intimate with Zheng Yujie. He blushed and pulled his arms out of the two amazingly flexible peaks.

"Yes!" Zheng Yujie didn't care about 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 routine and go halfway? What about the self-published route?"

"You mean..." Yang Guo's eyes lit up.

Yes, Zheng Yujie wants to use self-publishing channels to publish its own books as a publisher. In fact, Yang Guo thought the same at the beginning, but it was just a bit 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.

What is this business model like?

For a very simple example, Zheng Yujie opened this publishing house. It also has an editorial department for reviewing and proofreading, a technical department for typesetting, copying and cover design, and some applications and batch numbers for publishing. There are so many miscellaneous departments, but the final printing, channel communication, etc. can be omitted, because they are directly "outsourced" to Amazon International Library.

In that way, Zheng Yujie's publishing house has saved a lot of work, and while reducing the scale, it can also guarantee the quality of the books published. This is incomparable to pure self-publishing.

"But, don't be happy so early." Zheng Yujie poured cold water on Yang Guo, who was so pure and enthusiastic. "There are still two problems that we need to weigh."

"First of all, how can we sell our books, and then our publishing house will not lose money."

Since it is a self-publishing platform, I have said before that the books here are a mixture of fish and dragons. How difficult it is to stand out from the vastness of works of quality like a starry sky!

Of course~IndoMTL.com~There are also successful examples, the most representative one is Amanda Hawking. This Hawking is certainly not the physicist Hawking who exists as a god. Amanda Hawking, a young girl born in the 1980s in the United States, is like an inspirational story. At the beginning, she could only support her writing dream by doing ordinary service work (similar to community service), but she has submitted many articles. Was turned away by the publishing house.

Subsequently, in 2010, she self-published nine e-books such as "Super Power Tribe" through Amazon International Library, and sold one million copies in just one year. Among them, the "Super Clan" series is the most outstanding, and it is even known as a stunning work that combines the advantages of "Twilight" and "Princess Diaries".

The film copyright was also sold last year, and the script was written by the screenwriter of "District Nine". Speaking of it, Zheng Yujie also knows the trilogy of "Super Power Tribes", Dongxin failed to **** the old enemy Yilin Publishing House, otherwise, the translation work of these trilogy Zheng Yujie can help Yang Guo win over!
