Some major American publishing houses still seek work by foreign writers.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Curiously, the United States is full of writers who have one big work in their life and that's all.
Many writers from the suburbs of history, such as Ireland and Argentina, produced more original work than their counterparts in the United States; they still seem to.
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.
I kind of want to be seen as an American writer, not just a New York writer.
Writing fiction has become a priestly business in countries that have lost their faith.
While growing up, I always had to depend on foreign authors for page-turners. I think of myself as a commercial writer, and my job is simple to entertain you.
Writers keep writing and publishers publishing - it never grows boring.
I was thinking of writers living in East Europe before the Berlin Wall came down. They wrote fantastic stuff but were dealing with a situation that was almost impossible to deal with, but they found a way.
I graduated with an English degree and worked for awhile in academic publishing.
Writing is no dying art form in America because most published writers here accept the wisdom and the necessity of encouraging the talent that follows in their footsteps.
