[quote=“rubykate”]I am a new zealander. I am actually now in New Zealand but used to live in Taiwan and am sadly addicted to forumosa
I started wrting four years ago, and this year, after writing for nz, australia and taiwan markets my writing started to really push of from the foundation I had already established. I am getting some great regular magazine and news paper work, and some good book contracts, but for me I guess the us would be great- less piracy than Asia, and more people than in nz and australia. and they like the way nzers write about education.
just need a publisher to talk to

Good show.
If I may make a suggestion, based on my limited understanding from discussing this with writers, agents, and some publishers, in the U.S., at least for mass market fiction, it is supposedly best to find an agent rather than attempting to approach an individual publisher.
Good luck
