(view spoiler)[Hey, I have wrote a novel. But, I live in Bangladesh and publishing from here is not a good idea considering limited number of audiences and many things more. So, can I publish from foreign publishers? And, if I mail my manuscript to various publishers abroad, what are the chances that my book will be published? And, if I want an expert opinion would you read my first five chapters if I mail them to you? (hide spoiler)]

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!

Hi Eloisa, I just received your 5 Fabulous Things email, but when I went to pre - order "A Gentleman Never Tells" on amazon.ca it was listed as $2.99. Now I know that the Canadian dollar is low, but while I was hoping for $0.99, I really expected $1.49. Is this the correct pricing? Thanks

Hi, my name is Cintia and I'm from Argentina. Being a writer is what I want the most in this world, nothing makes me happier than writing, but I'm more and more frustrated with each passing day, because I've been blocked for 3 years. And it is not that I have an unfinished story. I have NOTHING AT ALL. A blank page in front of me, that only makes me sadder... Is there a way to overcome this? How do you handle it?
