Xu Mingxia swallowed a mouthful of chicken and said: "The column fee is the highest, and you can get 700 Hong Kong dollars per thousand words. However, it is difficult to publish columns, and generally only manuscripts from famous or senior writers are accepted."
"For martial arts and fantasy novels, Ming Pao can charge HK$50 per 1,000 words. Xiangjiang Daily is more expensive, offering HK$100 per 1,000 words."
"Ming Pao" has high sales and great reputation, and there is no shortage of authors to submit articles, so the price is low.
Although Heung Kong Daily is a long-established newspaper, it has only started publishing serialized novels in recent years. Its readership base and stability are not as good as those of Ming Pao, so the fee is higher to attract authors to contribute.
By the end of the meal, Jiang Yao had found out most of the information she wanted to know.
She decided to go back and sort out the outline of the novel and the first 100,000 words, and then submit it to the two newspapers that Xu Mingxia mentioned.
After dinner, Jiang Yao wanted to go to the dormitory to visit. It happened that Xu Mingxia and others were also going back to the dormitory, so they all gathered together for the same journey.
It was also a coincidence that when Jiang Yao found her dormitory, she found that she was in the same dormitory as Xu Mingxia and the others!
"Oh, this is called fate!" Xu Mingxia sighed.
They moved to this new four-person dormitory at the beginning of the semester, and there was an empty bed that no one occupied.
Zhou Meiyi and Ma Jiaqi also laughed and said, "I never expected that such a beauty could live in our dormitory. I feel like I'm not living in a dormitory, but on a movie set."
"Yes, it's hard to feel bad when you get up every morning and see beautiful women."
Several people praised Jiang Yao to the point of being embarrassed, "You are also very beautiful, each with his own style."
That's true, Zhou Meiyi and Ma Jiaqi are both beauties at first glance.
Zhou Meiyi has small and delicate facial features, an oval face, light makeup on her face, and shoulder-length wool curly hair. At first glance, she looks like a modern girl who often pursues fashion magazines.
Ma Jiaqi has a round face, delicate and gentle facial features, wears round-framed glasses, and has a bookish air.
As for Xu Mingxia, she has short ear-length hair and bright facial features, giving people a very open feeling. It just so happens that she has the same personality, she is carefree, informal, and can chat with anyone.
After initial contact, Jiang Yao had a good impression of the three roommates in the dormitory.
This also gave her some hope for dormitory life. At least here, she would have companions she could get along with, and her life would not be too lonely.
After coming out of the dormitory, Jiang Yao raised her hand and looked at her watch. It was already close to five o'clock in the afternoon, and she would have to catch up with the evening rush hour. She hurried out of the school to meet Azhong.
Fortunately, she came out in time, and Azhong hurriedly hurriedly arrived home before the evening rush hour.
As soon as she got home, Jiang Yao dove into the study and entered her own space.
Her home in later generations also passed through with her. There was her personal computer in the study room, and the novels she wrote in her spare time and the inspiration she recorded were all stored in the computer.
However, most novels only have the first few tens of thousands of words and an outline, and I have not yet written a complete novel.
Jiang Yao planned to choose a suitable notebook from among them, continue to expand and complete it, and try to submit it for publication.
But which one to pick?
Martial arts is currently the most popular type of serialized novels in Hong Kong. It combines family and country, heroes and morality, love and hate entanglements... It’s no wonder that both male and female readers love to read it.
However, older women generally don't like to watch these, and prefer the romance type.
During this period, there were also romance novels written in Xiangjiang, such as Yi Shu. The style of the work is elegant and ethereal, the emotions are delicate, and the words are eloquent. The literary nature is indeed high, but the reader group it covers is not broad.
Jiang Yao checked the demographic data of Xiangjiang during this period. Women over 30 years old accounted for a quarter of the total population, which is a considerable proportion. If you can firmly capture this group of readers, you can make money. All difficult.
After analyzing the reader market, Jiang Yao plans to open up a new novel track in Xiangjiang!
