I can't say that I hadn't invented stories and worlds before, but it was then that, limited in external contacts, I had to immerse myself in my own imagination. Since that period, I have no legacy left, but it was then that I learned to immerse myself in imaginary worlds and invent characters and plots.
But it was more of a foundation. The second key moment for me was getting to know another person who wrote books. It happened when I was a student, and the guy's name was Sergei Dorosh. Some may know him from a number of fantasy novels published before the war by Alpha Books.".
And here I want to return to your words about our writers and about the party. The party decides. And if we're talking about the present, then things are getting a lot easier with hangouts now. We have social networks, we have numerous platforms, no less numerous contests and many more things, which in fact have already to a certain extent created not just a basis for the integration of authors into the environment, but also made several separate niches, certain enclaves, into which the brothers of scribblers have split.
There are those who are set up for paper publication. They bombard the mailboxes of publishing houses, create author's publications on the networks and repost them to various near-literary communities.
There are professional contestants. They are mainly featured in short fiction contests, are constantly present at certain venues, and also have a certain fame there. Sometimes collections are published based on the results of contests. Sometimes they even have success and recognition.
There are indies grazing on sites with potential monetization (of which there are dozens, if not hundreds already). Some of them fundamentally reject the prospects of cooperation with traditional publishers, since they have a certain income from donations on those sites that exceeds the potential benefits of a paper edition.
Somewhere near them, in a dark corner, there are fanfiction authors, of course.
DW: I have two sub-questions here. First:
You didn't bombard publishers' boxes, you wrote with an eye on a specific publisher, didn't you?
VK: Yes.
DW: Apart from understanding the specifics, tastes and preferences of Alexey Zhupansky, what gave you confidence that this is where your idea is being realized? Did you just decide to jump to the top level (by high, I mean the most suitable in spirit), and in case of failure, would you send it to other publishers?
