The aloof Random House has taken a liking to a science fiction novel from China, which is equivalent to adding a ladle of water to this science fiction desert. In their view, this should be a natural thing, and the other party cannot even refuse.
There are many books on the new book sales list where "I, Robot" is currently on the list. Amazon basically ranks them according to sales volume, and no matter how many books a person buys, they will be counted, making it easier for many opportunistic people to operate.
This calculation result further strengthened Chen Jiaxuan's idea. She muttered: "Since the electronic version is selling so well, the English publishing rights cannot be sold casually. We have to plan carefully how to get more publishing rights." The Society found us.”
According to Lin Han's 70% share ratio, he can get hundreds of thousands of dollars in income, and there is no need to sell the novel copyright for tens of thousands of dollars.
“Are the people at Random House trying to pick up the pieces?”
Lin Han has also been deceived by such large-scale publicity. A novel called The-Alchemist (Fantasy Journey of a Shepherd Boy) was advertised as "top of the New York Times bestseller list for 240 consecutive weeks", but read Later I realized that it was a bit exaggerated. Although this is a classic, I always felt that it missed something.
Back to the topic, currently, since "I, Robot" does not have an English physical version, it is not included in the bestseller lists of the "Wall Street Journal" and "The New York Times". This is not only a potential business opportunity for publishers, but also a publicity that Lin Han missed. position.
Of course, this only guarantees that they will enter the top 100, and it will not directly land them in the top 10 or even higher. The book advertising benefits created through listings allow more books to become bestsellers, and bestsellers have great market influence.
What more could a Chinese science fiction writer ask for? Being able to publish an English version of a novel is the greatest reward for a writer. If you want more royalties, you have to produce more valuable works.

As a staff member of a publisher, many well-known writers outside have to be kind to themselves, and it is not easy to publish novels in English.

According to Lin Han's 70% share ratio, he can get hundreds of thousands of dollars in income, and there is no need to sell the novel copyright for tens of thousands of dollars.
Lin Han searched carefully in Amazon's rankings. He found that his book had actually been placed in the novel recommendation catalog by Amazon. Because the more novels sold, the more money Amazon could receive, so the sales volume Only then could it quickly increase to 180,000 copies.

Random House has always refused other people's voluntary submissions, and it is rare for someone to offer an olive branch and be rejected by others. This was originally just a business matter, but it touched a sensitive area in Qin Jun's heart.
As a staff member of a publisher, many well-known writers outside have to be kind to themselves, and it is not easy to publish novels in English.
Such rankings are very interesting even to authors, and everyone from publishing companies to the general public stares at these rankings. If you are an author of fictional works, after being listed on the list, you will receive a steady stream of invitations for manuscripts, and even more books will be printed continuously, which can also drive the sales of old books in the past.
It is almost cost-free to publish novels in the Amazon online bookstore, and Lin Han has left the publishing house before and signed an agency agreement with Amazon in his own name. The sales of these 180,000 copies are real, and there is no organization to help fill in the water. .
Lin Han waved his hand, took the tablet over, opened the official website of Amazon's US version, and said: "I don't know what they think. My income from the English version of e-books sold through Amazon has almost exceeded that in China. If we really promote it, sales will definitely increase.”
If you are an author of realistic novels, you will be invited to participate in various speeches, trainings, and consultations after being listed. This ranking can increase higher exposure and higher reputation.
The monthly sales volume is 180,000 copies, ranking 8th on the new book sales list, not far behind the previous sales. Ranked first is "All the light we cannot see" (All the light we cannot see). This book was widely praised by critics as soon as it came out, and is even expected to win this year's Pulitzer Prize.
On the novel sales list, "I, Robot" is inferior. Other types of books have very high sales, even hundreds of thousands of sales. But in the category of science fiction novels, it stands out, directly ranking 10th on the science fiction sales list, second only to those science fiction masters.
As a staff member of a publisher, many well-known writers outside have to be kind to themselves, and it is not easy to publish novels in English.
The novel "I, Robot" has saved the publisher the time of translation. Other types of books still need to be translated. The novel translated directly by the original author is both accurate and a publicity stunt. No matter how you look at it, it is more than $50,000. number.

Lin Han was also confused. Is Random House really sincere in seeking cooperation? I just wanted to buy that many copyrights for 50,000 US dollars. Although I can participate in the share later, the ratio is too low, and it is simply a charity.
According to Lin Han's 70% share ratio, he can get hundreds of thousands of dollars in income, and there is no need to sell the novel copyright for tens of thousands of dollars.
It stands to reason that such good results should be able to prove one's potential, but no one except Random House is interested, and Random House's conditions are also so harsh.

Although the combination of Random House and Penguin Group is the largest, there are also many competitors. No matter which country the book is from, as long as it can make money, these publishers will not let go of the opportunity.
There are marketing companies in the United States that specialize in book "listing" business. They work with people in the publishing industry to plan and find ways to get new books onto the bestseller list.
Chen Jiaxuan thought for a long time before coming to such a conclusion, but have they really carefully checked Amazon sales? Obviously, after passing the double test of word-of-mouth and sales, "I, Robot" has become a popular hit.

At present, the total sales of Amazon novels have entered the era of millions. Only books with cumulative sales of more than one million single e-books can truly become best-sellers, such as Swedish writer Stieg Larsson's trilogy "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" ", "The Girl Who Played with Fire" and "The Girl Who Came to the Beehive" have all entered the million-dollar era, as well as a series of novels such as "Here Comes the Spider" and "The Kiss of Death" by James Patterson, the king of American thrillers and mystery novels.

Lin Han waved his hand, took the tablet over, opened the official website of Amazon's US version, and said: "I don't know what they think. My income from the English version of e-books sold through Amazon has almost exceeded that in China. If we really promote it, sales will definitely increase.”

Lin Han was also confused. Is Random House really sincere in seeking cooperation? I just wanted to buy that many copyrights for 50,000 US dollars. Although I can participate in the share later, the ratio is too low, and it is simply a charity.
"I have calculated that with the current sales volume, you can get an income of 500,000 US dollars after tax! This is too high. We worked hard in China and only got a few hundred thousand yuan in royalties."
