Publishing a book is the standard for establishing a personal brand. I wrote an article about publishing a book before. What are the publishing methods suitable for long-term lovers? As a newcomer, when the author has the opportunity to publish a book, he actively strives for it, which is his best feedback and encouragement to the writing path.

Famous writers Mo Yan, Chen Yu, Hai Zi, etc. Their first two books were published at their own expense, and later books became better and better, so they naturally had better publishing conditions, and then they printed books at their own expense in the early stage. They own the copyright anyway.

It's just that the cost of publishing books at your own expense is too high these days. It is said that it costs 50 thousand to 60 thousand If you don't have a channel to sell, it's not cost-effective to publish a book like this.

If you feel that your writing is not mature enough, you can wait. Another way is to sign up for publishing e-books and put them online, which is also a good way to build influence.

20 17 in may, I cooperated with the platform and published my story of grassroots struggle, which was put on the shelves of douban and Amazon. At that time, the platform could contribute articles and publish e-books, which would be publicized to the authors when the books were put on the shelves, so I later had the opportunity to sign a contract.

At that time, many people who published e-books became the contracted authors of the platform, and some of them attracted the cooperation in publishing paper books because of e-books. For example, signing author Mu Cheng's "10 I bought three suites in Shenzhen" was exposed on multiple platforms through the first e-book and received in-depth cooperation from the publishing house. I was also invited by the headlines to sign a contract, with a monthly salary of 1 10,000, mainly to write about financial management.

In the last article, I mentioned that I cooperated with a company to represent publishing. If the jointly planned project is passed and signed, the corresponding commission will be deducted, and the author does not have to pay. If the commission is signed by 10%, the agency will deduct part of it, so that everyone can get a good deal. Leave professional things to professional people. Just write an article with peace of mind. Someone will help you connect to the channel and check all the links. If it's my student,

Today, I suddenly remembered how I fell in love with words at the beginning of writing. What other memorable events are there?

In 2008, I saw a lot of teacher Xue Xiaochan's words in Reader magazine, and an article wrote that the wind and smoke were clean and the Tianshan Mountains were * * *. These eight words fascinated me very much, and I felt the beauty of words. At that time, similar sentences will be copied down, read and memorized repeatedly.

Equally impressive is the Shanxi Communication written by Lin.

"Let's look at the temples rebuilt in the Jin and Yuan Dynasties and the temples rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty, and discuss the characteristics of styles and practices, the air and procedures of statues. It will get dark gradually, and I will feel thirsty and hungry, only to remember that the day is coming to an end. When I came back to lie in bed, my beautiful and vivid impression was still hanging in front of me, guiding all kinds of happy dreams. At the same time, I have rich vegetables and fruits for dinner, and our energy tomorrow will be until a big sun shines on our faces. "

An author's words can collide with our souls through time and space, and even influence a person to embark on the road of writing. This is the magic of words.

There is also Zhang Ailing's prose "Listening to the Flowers Falling", which is simply a linguistic expression of genius, full of literariness and artistry.

I still remember Zhang Ailing once said that there are three hates in life, the crucian carp has thorns, the red chamber is unfinished, and the begonia has no fragrance.

Zhang Ailing and Lin are both top-notch talented women in the Republic of China, and it seems that only they can be compared.

In 2008, I made breakfast at the gate of Liming Industrial Zone in Lucheng District, Wenzhou. On my left is a shop making mala Tang in Jiangxi, and on my right is a Fuyang person making noodles. The so-called shops are a row of tin houses and simple sheds.

I am the only one in that row who reads magazines in the afternoon, and sometimes I go to the second-hand bookstall to find some books to read.

Wenzhou, known as the "three no zones", was very chaotic in those years. I lost five bicycles a year. Once I went back to my home from the store at noon, the door was pried open and the TV set was moved away. These fragments were also mentioned in my previous article.

I saw a girl talking on the phone while walking, and a man behind her grabbed her mobile phone on a motorcycle. The motorcycle flew away and the girl reacted, leaving only the motorcycle behind.

My grandmother's pair of gold earrings was snatched from behind by two boys, and one ear was bleeding. She began to think that she was joking with an acquaintance. When she turned around, the two men ran away quickly. ...

These clips, like those in the movie, are completely true. I answered this question on Zhihu and truthfully mentioned what I saw and heard in those years, but I met three netizens who privately believed me and asked me to change the area to anonymous, saying that I was afraid of bad influence, so I changed the place name to "coastal".

I said what I remember. It must have changed a lot over the years.

It's like when we take a green leather train to Fujian, people crowded and trampled on people along the way. Once my colleagues and I were forced to throw away all the dried bacon we brought at home, otherwise we couldn't squeeze in. At that time, many people were trampled and injured.

I have seen the little things in the carriage with my own eyes. At that time, the train stopped at countless stations. We didn't get a seat ticket for another year, and we all stood. We were too tired to drink water all the way, otherwise it would be too troublesome to go to the toilet, and the corridor was full of people. ...

On another occasion, 14 fellow villagers got off the train from Fuzhou and got on the bus. Several drivers on the road insisted that each of us pay more 100 yuan. He said that whoever didn't give it would make his mouth happy and his flesh ached. We gave the money without saying anything. Two of them are locals, but they are not given by drivers, and they are placed in the middle of the mountain road.

Looking back now, it's like a past life! That is 18 years ago, it seems a long time ago. What I saw, experienced and heard became the material of my writing. I have written "The Green Leather Train in Memory" and "Injured by Thieves in Those Years".

In 2007, I worked in a women's clothing factory in Chashan University Town, Wenzhou. This factory is a domestic brand and has strict quality requirements. I'm a foreigner, and I changed this factory. I felt like crying when I started to rework.

I still remember the sentence written on the wall of the women's clothing factory, "We should race against time and care about a stitch and a thread".

There are unforgettable things in that factory. Every time the bell rings after work, a group of people rush in the direction of the canteen, just like being released from a hungry prison. Just because they go early, there will be small vegetables, and you can get more tiny tomatoes and seaweed from the big iron bucket soup.

The salary of this factory is much higher than that of my previous factory in Fujian. I get off work every night 10:30 and have a single holiday every week. It is said that the factory has stores in major cities in China and some overseas countries. It is estimated that it has declined in recent years. Daphne, Metersbonwe, Bang Wei, Bang Wei and Mason are all going downhill in recent years, and the competition in the clothing industry is cruel.

The processes I did in Wenzhou factory in 2007 mainly included sewing shoulders, wearing trousers waist, wearing shirt cuffs and so on. The most profitable process is to lead the division of family members, and others can only be greedy.

Recalling those distant past events is really rich in life experience! Why are you worried that you have no material to write? Some plots of my book The Past Ten Years were written in this factory. This article only left more than 4000 messages in the palm reading.

That summer, a middle-aged elder sister fainted from heatstroke in the workshop. The leader calmly asked someone to carry her out. I don't know how it was arranged in the end. The workshop soon resumed its working mode, as if it were a habit, or an indifferent and powerless concern.

In the first few years when we went out, we experienced sending money home by postal order, and the envelope contained money. When we checked out at the end of the year, we sewed the money in the wallet of the innermost clothes with sewing needles and tied it together at the waistband.

At that time, there was a small blackboard on the stairs of Fujian factory, which read: "Letter from Today". Colleagues will go back and forth to see if there are any letters of their own, and then experience the time of inserting a card and making a phone call. At that time, the telephone bill was really expensive If you want to say something, you have to make a draft in advance to make a long story short.

I am recording my personal memories, and I also feel the earth-shaking changes in our society over the years. It's really called leap-forward development, and it changes quickly. An article said that the development of China in these decades is unprecedented in any western country, and it may take them 200 years.

Now that communication is so developed, the telephone bill is simply unnecessary. Wechat can play video anytime, anywhere, and voice red packets can be transferred. A mobile phone can travel all over the world.

In the second half of 2004, I had the first Nokia mobile phone. It was really an era when short messages flourished. Every time I see a good message, I will write it down in my notebook. I remember sending and receiving 800 short messages a month at the peak, saving 70 short messages each time. When the memory is full, I have to delete them. Copy all the good ones in the diary before deleting them.

These are all signs of love words! That is to say, at that time, I found that words can move my mind.

There are several people in my family who are sensitive to writing. Although my aunt doesn't read much, she likes to speak some proverbs and rhymes. My aunt's cousin is also my little brother's cousin, and their literary talent is very good.

My first article "The Fragrance of Zongye" in the official WeChat account "Fan Qi Qiwei Magazine" used my cousin's QQ space diary. My cousin is now a civil servant in the county. Because he can write, he is very appreciated by the leaders.

My little cousin is about the same age as my daughter. She won many prizes in the school composition competition.

Although my grandmother doesn't know a word, she can speak some simple languages, is full of philosophical thinking about life and has an excellent memory.

Grandma once told me that my grandfather is a person who can't count 10 copper coins. My parents, grandparents, grandparents, parents, these generations are illiterate. That's because of the times and family. Just because they don't have a chance to read to them doesn't mean they don't have personality genes or other specialties in their bones.

What my grandmother said most before her death was "you can't be poor even if you die", which shows how much humiliation and harm her life has brought because of poverty!

I think grandma's life is a hard life, a hard life. Her personal fate and the fate of the times made her helpless and forced to accept her fate. She lost her father in childhood, her husband in middle age and her son in old age, and the white-haired people sent the black-haired people.

If she was born in today's era, she should be able to do something. She once chatted with us and said that when she was young, she went to the street to sell firewood, and many men couldn't beat her. In that era of material scarcity, she could only survive by strength. Maybe these clips are what she used to be proud of!

So she often tells us that she is no worse than anyone, whether doing housework or doing outside things. All I know is that grandma has good facial features.

The fate of anyone is closely related to the times. Just as we are now living in a peaceful era, if some people are born in the Middle East, their lives may be dying at any time in the chaos of war. What can an individual do in such a big environment?

I remember when Fan Deng was studying, he said that every time he went near the martyrs' garden, he should thank his predecessors for their hard work for today's peace.

No matter my mother, my grandmother, or countless similar people, there are not many choices in his environment, so we can only crustily skin of head and live, otherwise what can we do?

A few years ago, I read the autobiographical novel Hungry Daughter written by Hong Ying, a writer from Chongqing. Everyone in their family has a rough fate, full of legends and tragedies. At the age of 36, she wrote The Hungry Daughter, which was translated into more than 20 languages in the world. She has also become a famous writer in the world literary world.

Her novels are very shocking, such a bitter and difficult family, her sister and her mother have ups and downs, difficulties and hardships, but they are all strong inside.

Hong Ying fell in love with her history teacher when she was studying, and offered herself to the teacher, but the teacher ended his life in Gawain. Hong Ying didn't know she was an illegitimate daughter until 18 years old. She felt ashamed of herself and decided to leave her hometown until six years later.

She studied at Fudan College of Literature, Lu Xun College of Literature in Beijing, and then went abroad. She started writing poems at first. I read Hong Ying's autobiographical novels, thinking that everyone is ready-made, rich in good materials and touching in twists and turns. It is simply illogical for such a family to have no writers.

Every writer embarks on the road of writing, and can find some sources more or less. Everything is accidental and inevitable. I still remember a sentence, "I have never seen anyone who often laughs write any good articles."

We have a population of 654.38+04 billion in China, and the total number of authors of media and novels should reach about 50 million.

How to survive among these people not only tests our writing ability, operation ability and promotion ability, but also tests whether we can persist. If an author can write and operate well, have a high emotional intelligence and have a good interpersonal relationship, then his road will naturally become wider and wider.

People who can write for two years can beat 98% of the authors, and the road to success is not crowded, because fewer and fewer people persist. ...

Write wherever you want, to be continued. ...
