The next day.
But before that, the day before he had been late for his work and Ana had made a fuss. Liam apologized saying that he had finished the novel. Ana was enthusiastic about the novel and Liam took it off, he began to read it was surprised by the amount of sheets that had, when starting to read the novel fascinated, it seemed that he was very fanatical fantasy genre novels. After a few moments Ana told Liam to forgive him and to go to work.
That same day I had sent some emails to the publishers to give me an appointment for the next day, to present the novel.
[Present]
Liam, had woken up early to go to the editorial, had chosen 12 publishers, first began visiting one of the largest was called PublishAmerica. Upon entering the building, he told the receptionist that he had an appointment with the editor. The receptionist very politely told her that she was going to the editor's office. Afterwards, kindly accept their offerings, she guides him towards the editor.
Upon arriving at the editor's office, he told Liam to wait a few minutes before the editor would arrive. Waiting for a moment at last, the editor approaches. The editor was a middle-aged man wearing a very elegant black suit.
"Oh, I'm sorry I made you wait." My name is Sam Warner.
"My name is Liam Baltimore." Liam responds, while shaking hands.
"I heard from my secretary that you have a great novel, can you let me take a look first?"
"Of course."
The manuscript arrives and begins to read it. He looks very serious when reading the novel and over time began to immerse himself in the world of my novel.
After reading the novel, he let out a big sigh, then looked at Liam a few seconds, while he seemed to think about something.
"Liam, the novel is interesting, you have an idea very well captured in the book, we would like to buy you the copyright, we will give you 20 thousand dollars".
Upon hearing this, Liam thought "This old man thinks that because I am still young he will cheat me, this novel with a broken sales record in my previous world, think that because I am a teenager I am hungry for money".
"Well, is that all the company can give me?"
"Do not worry, we'll give you 1% of what your novel generates."
Liam to see how this man, he practically wanted to steal, he got up grabbed the novel and left without saying goodbye, leaving the editor surprised.
That same day, Liam continued visiting 3 more editorials, but it seemed that they had agreed with the previous editorial that I visited, for all they offered the same. He realized that in this world these companies practically stole people who just dabbled in the literal world.
Liam sent the manuscripts of his novel to the other publishers, to see if he would be lucky to find a decent publisher.
The next day while he was working, the other publishers called him, but they only offered him 3% of the income that the novel could generate.
While Liam was thoughtful about what he was going to be about the novel, suddenly begins to ring his phone.
"Hello." Liam asks the number that called him did not have it registered.
"Hi, I'm communicating with Liam Baltimore." He answered Liam a manly voice.
"Yes, with whom do I speak?"
"Well, Mr. Liam, my name is Michael Wender, a friend of an editorial to which you sent your novel, he told me about your novel and when I started reading I loved your novel a lot, I would like to publish it in my editorial" Michael Wender answered.
When Liam heard this, he was stunned for a few seconds, then he responded quickly. "Mr. Michael, I am now working, at 5:00 p.m. it is my turn to leave, you can come to the French restaurant" Provence Bistrot "on the commercial street. of Fresno ". Liam said.
Michael: "Mr. Liam, it seems that I have interrupted you while you are at work, maybe we can find a place to talk, I know a cafe that is near the restaurant where you work the coffee is called" Coworking & Café ", that you it seems if we are in that place after your work ".
Liam got a little excited and answered: "Sure, Mr. Michael, when we leave work we meet, goodbye".
When he finished talking Liam was excited, when the other party is the one that is interested, that makes it easier to negotiate, I look at the time of his cell phone, it was 2:29 p.m., it was only less than 3 hours before the meeting, he calmed down and went to work.
