Kodi muli ndi lingaliro lililonse? Kodi ndife amwayi bwanji kuti anthu ena amatenga udindo wolemba buku? Ndiwo amene amafunitsitsa kuyang'ana pazenera lopanda kanthu—kenako amadzaza ndi MAWU. Ndi mawu ena. Mawu okwanira kwa inu ndi ine kuti tithe kuwawerenga kwa maola ambiri.

Philip Roth Nkhaniyi inalengezedwa chaka chapitacho kapena kuposerapo. Anali mu cafe ku New York pamene loya wachinyamatayo anabwera kudzamuuza kuti nayenso, akuyembekeza kulemba mawu abwino kwambiri tsiku lina.

Yankho la Roth...m'mawu ambiri: MUSACHITE! Kulemba mawu ndi JEHOVA! Kudzawononga moyo wanu!

Posachedwapa ndapitako Kukambirana kwa gulu la ofalitsa mabuku ku Hachette komwe woyang'anira anayamba ndi nkhani ya Philip Roth. "Kodi mukugwirizana ndi Roth?" adafunsa olemba atatu omwe adalemba nawo. "Kodi kulemba ndi njira yankhanza?"

Joshua Ferris anali m'modzi mwa omwe adapereka ndemanga,* ndipo amalemba mawu abwino kwambiri. Kudzukanso pa Ola Labwino, buku lake lachitatu, linasankhidwa kuti lipambane mphoto ya Man Booker Prize ya 2014; lachiwiri, Kenako Tinafika Pamapeto, adapambana Mphoto ya PEN/Hemingway ya 2008.

Ferris analankhula za vuto loyambitsa buku: kupanga zisankho zovuta zokhudza amene akufotokoza nkhaniyo ndi momwe iyenera kukonzedwera. Analankhula za kukhazikika pansi kuti alembe masamba 100 oyambirira a bukuli. Kudzukanso. Kenako ...

Ndiyeno ... anazindikira kuti SINAGWIRA NTCHITO, palibe chilichonse. Choncho anataya masamba onse 100. Iye anati ululu wa zimenezo unali "wopweteka kwambiri." Sikuti mawu okha, anatero, kapena ngakhale khama. Inali nthawi, nthawi yonseyo yochotsedwa pa moyo wake, nthawi imene inatha.

Nanga bwanji kuchita zimenezo? N’chiyani chimachititsa olemba ngati Ferris kulemba buku lachiwiri...ndi lachitatu? Kapena pankhani ya Philip Roth ya 40? Sitingadziwe, ndithudi, koma ndikuganiza kuti ndikofunika kupanga zenizeni zosiyana, kufotokoza malingaliro a dziko, kapena kungofotokoza nkhani yabwino.

Chilichonse chomwe chili, dziko lathu ndi malo abwino chifukwa cha kukakamizidwa kumeneko kodabwitsa. Olemba amalimbana ndi mawu, ndipo ife ndife opindula. Ndiye mwayi umenewo ndi wotani?

Kwa makalabu owerengera mabuku:
Kodi pali mamembala ena omwe adalembapo kapena kuyesa kulemba nkhani zongopeka—kaya nkhani yaing'ono kapena nkhani yaifupi. Kapena mwina adalembapo nkhani yokumbukira...kapena ndakatulo yolembedwa? Kodi kulemba n'kovuta bwanji?

Momwe timawerengera, ndipo zomwe timawerenga, zakhala zikudutsa mu kusintha kwakukulu. Popeza ofalitsa akuyang'ana kwambiri zomwe zimapangitsa kuti mabuku azigulitsidwa kwambiri, mabuku ambiri osangalatsa komanso odabwitsa akusiyidwa m'malo mwa mabuku ena odula ma cookie. Kodi wolemba ayenera kuchita chiyani?

Kupeza njira Polimbana ndi zopinga izi olemba ambiri omwe akutuluka kumene, komanso olemba ambiri omwe adasindikizidwa kale, akugwiritsa ntchito njira zina kuti ntchito zawo zifalitsidwe. Chofukizira, mabuku omwe adasindikizidwa okha adawona kuwonjezeka kwa 59 peresenti kuyambira 2011 mpaka 2012. Ndipo chiwerengero chimenecho chikupitirira kukula.

Ndi olemba ambiri Pofunafuna njira ina yabwino yotsimikizira kuti ntchito yawo yafika pamaso pa owerenga, lingaliro limodzi likuoneka kuti likukopa chidwi cha anthu ambiri—Osalephera.

Chinthu chatsopano chatsopano Njira yofalitsira ntchito yolemba, Unbound imapatsa olemba odziwika bwino komanso atsopano mwayi wopita mwachindunji ku gwero akamafunafuna ndalama zofalitsira mabuku awo—owerenga! Mofanana ndi masamba ena ofanana. Kickstarter ndi GoFundMe, Unbound imalola olemba kuti apemphe anzawo, otsatira ndi anthu omwe ali ndi chidwi kuti alonjeze zopereka kuti ntchitoyo ithe.

Osaganiza Ntchito yonseyi ndi yogwirizana! Kulonjeza ku ntchito kuli ndi ubwino wake kwa woperekayo. Kutengera ndi ntchitoyo ndi ndalama zomwe mwavomereza kupereka ku cholingachi, woperekayo aliyense ali ndi mwayi wopeza mphoto monga buku losindikizidwa, kapena misonkhano ya maso ndi maso ndi wolembayo.

Njirayi ndi yosavutaMukalembetsa akaunti, mumakhala ndi mwayi wopeza makanema olemba omwe akufotokoza za polojekiti yawo yotsatira. Kuchokera pamenepo mutha kusankha mabuku omwe mukufuna kuvomereza komanso kuchuluka kwa ndalama zomwe mukufuna kupereka. Wolembayo akalandira ndalama zonse, ntchito yawo imayamba kufalitsa. Ndi zophweka kwambiri.

Mpaka pano, Unbound yathandiza kufalitsa mabuku 54 ndipo yasonkhanitsa ndalama zoposa £1 miliyoni kuchokera kwa ogwiritsa ntchito. Mu kuyankhulana ndi wolemba Jason Hesse wochokera ku Forbes.comWoyambitsa Unbound, Dan Kieran, anati, “Ogwiritsa ntchito athu amakonda kutenga nawo mbali pa ntchitoyi komanso kukhala ndi chidwi ndi zomwe akufuna. Si ogula okha - ndi makasitomala ang'onoang'ono.” Kwa ife zikumveka ngati mwayi wabwino kwambiri wothandiza kuti mabuku omwe mukufuna kuwerenga afalitsidwe.

Mukuganiza chiyani za kupatsa mphamvu zofalitsa mabuku kwa owerenga? Kodi mukufuna kusankha mabuku olembedwa ndi kufalitsidwa? Tipatseni ndemanga ndipo mutiuze maganizo anu!

Ngati mukufuna kuti muwerengenso zatsopano...koma simunakonzekerenso kuwerenga kwina kwa nthawi yayitali, komwe kukuchitika (muli ndi nkhawa pang'ono ndi nkhani yanu yayikulu yomaliza?), kenako pitani ku nyuzipepala ya pa intaneti Latté yeniyeni.

Zopereka za tsamba lawebusayiti, lolembedwa ndi olemba osindikizidwa ndi osasindikizidwa, limapanga kuphatikiza kwabwino kwa zolemba zakale, ndakatulo, ndi zaluso. Zonse ndi zazikulu zokwanira kuti zikulitse chilakolako chanu—monga kumwa cappuccino yopangidwa mwaluso.

Kuyamba koyamba mu 1994 Monga magazini yosindikizidwa, Literal Latté inafalikira kwambiri m'masitolo ogulitsa mabuku ndi malo ogulitsira khofi ku New York City. Njira yake yatsopano yopezera mabuku inakopa chidwi cha owerenga kwa zaka pafupifupi khumi.

Kenako mu 2003 Magaziniyi inafalitsa buku lake lomaliza losindikizidwa. Pofuna kukulitsa kufikira kwake—ndi kugawana olemba ake ndi omvera ambiri—Literal Latté inasamukira pa intaneti, komwe idakali malo ofunikira kwa owerenga ndi olemba mpaka pano.

Kwa okonda zosangalatsa ndi owerenga ozindikira (inu, sichoncho?), ndi mwayi wopeza china chatsopano komanso chosangalatsa. Kwa olemba omwe ali pachimake pa ntchito yofalitsa mabuku, Literal Latté imapereka njira yogawa ntchito yanu kwa omvera oyamikira. (Pitani kuno kuti mudziwe zambiri za njira yotumizira.)

Kotero ngati muli ndi mphindi zochepa zopuma, pitani ku Latté yeniyeni ndipo yang'anani mozungulira. Onetsetsani kuti mwatiuza ngati, monga owerenga, ngati inu apezeka nkhani yomwe mumakonda kwambiri kumeneko...kapena, monga wolemba, inu ndi nkhani yomwe yawonetsedwa pamenepo.

Khalani okondwa Okonda Margaret Atwood, sangalalani kwambiri! Wolemba wotchuka wa bukuli Nkhani Yopangira Nkhanza ndipo buku la The MaddAddam Trilogy likulemba ntchito yatsopano.

Inu nonse Choyenera kuchita ndi kudikira kwa zaka 100 kuti muwerenge.

Inde, mwawerenga zimenezo molondola. Atwood akumaliza buku lomwe lidzakhala lodabwitsa, koma buku lenileni silidzapezeka kwa anthu onse mpaka chaka cha 2114.

Timamvetsetsa Izi zingamveke zachilendo kwa inu—chifukwa chiyani wolemba angatenge nthawi yochuluka akulemba ntchito yake yotsatira koma n’kuibisa kwa zaka 100? Chifukwa: Atwood ndiye wolemba woyamba kupatsidwa udindo wochita nawo mu Laibulale Yamtsogolo.

Izi zodabwitsa Zojambulajambula za anthu onse zinayamba ndi kubzala nkhalango ya mitengo 1,000 kunja kwa Oslo, Norway, chilimwe chathachi. M'zaka 100, nkhalangoyi idzagwiritsidwa ntchito kusindikiza buku lapadera la mabuku omwe sanawonekepo omwe analembedwa makamaka pa ntchitoyi.

Pamene nkhalango ikukula, yemwe adapanga Future Library, Katie Paterson, pamodzi ndi gulu la akatswiri a mabuku ochokera ku Future Library trust, amalankhula ndi wolemba m'modzi chaka chilichonse ndikumulimbikitsa kuti "aganizire ndikupanga ntchito ndi chiyembekezo chopeza wowerenga womvera m'tsogolo wosadziwika."

Pambuyo poti zalembedwa, zolembedwazo zidzatsekeredwa m'chipinda chopangidwa mwapadera mu laibulale ya anthu onse ya Deichmanske.

Chipinda, yomwe idzaphimbidwa ndi matabwa ochokera m'nkhalango, idzawonetsa mayina a olemba omwe akutenga nawo mbali komanso mitu ya ntchito zawo, koma zolembazo sizidzapezeka mpaka zitasindikizidwa polojekiti ikatha.

Atwood mwiniwake akuoneka kuti akusangalala ndi chinsinsi cha ntchitoyi, akuuza olemba a Guardian kuti:

Ndi gawo la mgwirizano womwe sungauze aliyense zomwe ukulemba. Ndikuuona kuti ndi wokoma kwambiri, chifukwa ndimapeza nthawi yoti ndiuze anthu ngati inu [Guardian], kuti sindikuwauza. Koma ndinganene kuti ndagula pepala lapadera losungiramo zinthu zakale, lomwe silidzawonongeka m'bokosi lake lotsekedwa kwa zaka zoposa 100..

Ngakhale zikuwoneka Monga momwe sitidzadziwira zomwe zikuyembekezera owerenga amwayi omwe sanabadwe, komabe, pali chinthu chimodzi chotsimikizika—adzapeza chisangalalo chochuluka m'mabuku.

Sitingathe kudikira kuti muwone olemba omwe asankhidwa kuti atumize ntchito zawo. Ndi olemba ati omwe mungafune kuti alowe nawo mu polojekitiyi? Ndiye ... mumamva bwanji kusatha kuwerenga ntchito zatsopano za wolemba wanu wokondedwa?

Kwa Okonda Zinthu a mibadwo yonse: sitingathe kukana kugawana chuma chamtengo wapatali ichi—Akavalo Ang'onoang'ono Atatu lolembedwa ndi wolemba mabuku a ana wa ku Dutch, Piet Worm (1909-1966). Mmodzi mwa owerenga athu, anatilankhula kuti tione ngati tingamuthandize kukumbukira mutu wa buku lomwe analikonda kwambiri ali mwana, lomwe analikumbukira kunyumba kwa agogo ake aakazi.

Tinalibe chidziwitso (osati koyamba)—koma anapirira ndipo anatitumizira zotsatira zake mokoma mtima. Zikomo, Sue! Mau ena anatayika pamene tinawonjezera chithunzicho, koma tinawonjezera kusiyana pang'ono kuti mumvetse bwino nkhani ya Piet.

Nayi Piet Worm iye mwini. Kodi akukwera MKATI kapena KUCHOKA m'dziko lake la malingaliro pano? (Fanizo lokongola.)

Ngati muli Buku la ana lomwe mumakonda kwambiri, tiuzeni. Koma, chifukwa cha Mulungu, CHONDE musatipemphe kuti tikuthandizeni kukumbukira mutu wake. Sitikufuna kudzimva ngati sitikudziwa!

Umu ndi momwe zimagwirira ntchito: kupita ku malowa ndipo ikani oda yanu ya mtundu wa kulembetsa komwe mukufuna. Pamene mukupita patsogolo polipira, mudzafunsidwa kuti mudzaze mafunso okhudza mitundu yomwe mumakonda, maudindo, ndi olemba. Akangopeza mbiri yanu yowerengera, adzayamba kukutumizirani mabuku anu apakompyuta mwezi uliwonse (kapena awiri pamwezi kapena kotala—zili ndi inu).

Pa chinachake wolimba mtima kwambiri...pali Bukhu Lachiwawa, ntchito ina yolembetsa. Iyi imafuna owerenga otseguka maganizo—SIYOKHALA yogwirizana ndi zomwe mumakonda koma kutengera zomwe olemba ake amasankha pamwezi.

Kotero ngati mukumva Yesani imodzi (kapena zonse ziwiri!) mwa ntchitozi. Mukuganiza kuti mungakhulupirire wina kuti akusankhireni buku lotsatira? Ndipo ngati mumakonda, kulembetsa ndi mphatso yabwino kwambiri, makamaka yochokera ku Just The Right Book, yomwe ili ndi magulu a akuluakulu, achinyamata kapena ana.
