Dear Ankon,
I don't have time to read anyone else's work, unfortunately -- I can barely manage my students' (I'm a Shakespeare professor as well as a writer). Of course you can publish with foreign publishers, but you really could only do it if you found an agent. Mailing a manuscript "blind" to a publisher is a sure way to fill that publisher's recycling pile, if you ask me. So I'd try to find an American agent. Good luck!

I'm an aspiring writer, but I'm dealing with two things: I get discouraged every single day because 96% of manuscripts are rejected, and I haven't had an idea for years, literally. There's too many people wanting to be writers, and knowing there's so much competition just kills me a little every day. When I get motivated, immediatly something appears about the industry that kills it. Any tips on how to deal with this?
