I don't mean to beat a made-in-America drum, but I would be lying if I said it doesn't feel somehow right to be printing books in the U.S.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My book collection is primarily in America, since that's where I've lived most of my life.
Australian SF book publishing has undergone a boom recently, and sometimes it's easier for new writers to sell a book to a local publisher first, which then makes a US edition more likely.
I've never seen a worse situation than that of young writers in the United States. The publishing business in North America is so commercialized.
Some newer writers worry about books set in Canada having a big appeal, but it has never been an issue for me. I haven't wanted to write in the States because I don't know the States.
I've been bragging for over 25 years that my first New York Times bestseller was a book I copied from the U.S. Government Printing Office!
We want to pull out songs from the American song book, and we want to make them palatable for a modern audience.
We are not going to do ourselves any favors by buying into what's printed in newspapers.
We want more stuff stamped 'Made in America.'
I've always been crazy for the American songbook.
I've always wanted to release records in America. That's where I believe the music belongs, and the style and the eclectic musical mix that we put together kind of belongs here.
