Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Chapter 130 Controversy (5 more today)

Kevin has promised Principal Harden to be the editor-in-chief of "Youth". These days, he is reviewing the manuscripts sent by the editors while attending classes. Let's be honest, it's a tiring job. Because after Kevin went back, he had to write "Robinson Crusoe". His two pairs of eyes have been spinning around the words these days.

"Youth" has five editors and two chief editors. In addition to Kevin, there is also an editor named Omron. Omron is a black man in his forties from Kenya. When he heard Principal Harden say that Kevin came to be his colleague, although he was surprised, he was not dissatisfied. After all, he is an optimistic person. And he himself advocates giving more opportunities to young people.

"Hi. Dear Kevin, it's a pleasure to work with you."

"Dear Mr. Omron, please give me your advice."

"You are too polite. I have read "Jane Eyre" you wrote, and it is very good. I have to say that you are a talented writer. Perhaps, you will make "Youth" go to a different height." Omron sincerely Speaking of.

"Thank you for your approval. You are the pillar of "Youth" and have always been my respected editor-in-chief." Kevin said politely.

"Okay, dear Kevin. Let's stop the mutual compliments. You know, we don't like that. Oh. Here's the manuscript for this issue. You're the editor now, and it's up to you to review it." gone."

After speaking, Omron put some manuscripts on Kevin's desk. Since the former editor-in-chief left, most of the manuscripts are reviewed by Omron. Now that Kevin is here, his job is much easier.

Of course, Principal Harden has already explained that Omron will take care of Kevin at work as much as possible in order not to affect Kevin's studies.

"Dear Mr. Omron, I would like to ask, can I just be responsible for reviewing the manuscript?" Kevin asked studiously.

"Yes. You can take a look at it, and if you think there is nothing wrong with it, just sign and agree to publish it." Omron explained patiently.

"Okay, thank you, dear Mr. Omron."

then. Kevin began to review the manuscript of this issue. In my previous life, I was used to writing articles on the earth, but now I suddenly play the role of a literary referee. Kevin couldn't help but feel a sense of joy in his heart.

There are not many manuscripts, only four. It took Kevin 20 minutes to read the first two articles, although the writing and plot were not particularly outstanding. But it's not too bad. Therefore, Kevin has no opinion on their publication.

It's just that when it came to the last two articles, Kevin had some opinions. Because this article is all about the ideal. Although young people are suitable for talking about the topic of ideals,

But if there are two articles about ideals in the same period of work. That would be boring to watch. Therefore, Kevin felt that it was necessary to remove one of them.

"Dear Mr. Omron, I feel that the views of these two articles are a bit repetitive, so I plan to remove one of them." Kevin said to Omron who was on the side.

Upon hearing this, Omron took a look at the article Kevin said, and then said: "It can be removed, you can see which article to remove first, and then see which editor is responsible for this article. After the article is removed, I have to add one more article. The editor will always have a spare manuscript in hand. You can ask him to send it to you for review at that time."

"Okay. Thank you for your guidance."

So, Kevin read these two articles about ideals seriously. The titles of these two articles are "About the Ideal" and "People Should Live in an Ideal State".

Although in the previous life, he was on the street on the earth. But Kevin's reading volume is still quite large. He can still distinguish the good from the bad of an article. He read it carefully twice, and felt that he could leave the article "People Should Live in an Ideal State".

Because this article talks about how important ideals are to a young man, and how a person's spiritual level will change in an ideal state. The other party has a delicate and authentic writing style, which is most suitable for publication.

On the other hand, "About Ideals", although the writing style is not bad. But the point of view is too old-fashioned. If you send it out, you may not be liked by your classmates.

After making a decision, Kevin followed what Omron said to see which editor pushed it. At this time, he saw Kosnovic's name.

Kevin didn't know anything about Kosnovic, he only knew how to do things according to the process. So, after making a decision. He asked the editor-in-chief of Omron to help Kosnovic over.

Kosnovic thought that the editor-in-chief of Omron had something to do with him, so he came over when he heard the call. But when he came to the office, he found out that Kevin was looking for him, and he was very upset.

"Dear Mr. Kosnovic. I read the two articles you posted, and I think I can only keep one of them." After seeing Kosnovic appearing, Kevin said to him.

"You said "About Ideal" and "People Should Live in an Ideal State"?" Kosnovic asked.

"Yes, the views of these two articles are a bit repetitive. The University of Edinburgh is an innovative environment, and "Youth" should also take a new approach. I don't think they should be published at the same time." Kevin said about himself idea.

"But these two articles have reached the level of publication. I don't think there is any problem. I have been in this industry for many years. I know more about the market than you do."

Kosnovic didn't want to listen to what a student who was twice his age taught, after all, in his eyes, Kevin was just a student.

"Dear Mr. Kosnovic, let me ask, if you are a reader and you see two articles with the same opinion in the same publication, don't you find it a bit boring? Can you still arouse your interest in it?" Kay Wen immediately retorted.

"If these two articles are good enough, I don't think there is anything wrong. You must know that this is a country that loves literature, and students are not against those excellent literary works." Kosnovic also said immediately expressed his own point of view.

Kevin did not expect that the decision he made on his first day as the editor-in-chief would be opposed by the editors below. It seems that this editor-in-chief is not easy to be. Fortunately, I am not a rookie.

Kevin immediately retorted: "But I read these two articles carefully, and I think only one has reached the level of publication. So, Mr. Kosnovic, I am really sorry. I hope you can submit another article Come up."

"Then I would like to ask, which one was eliminated by you?"

"This one---"About Ideal", I admit that his writing style is not bad. It's just that the views are too old-fashioned. I think in this place full of youth, we don't need those works that are old enough to go into the coffin." Kevin pointed to the manuscript of "About Ideals" and said. (To be continued.)

PS: Thank you for your support. On the first day of the launch, it is temporarily planned to be updated five times. If the results are good, I will consider updating more. Thank you and wish you all the best.
