"I'm not sure it's as similar as we think. When I read books by English authors it seems they are given more leeway to create their characters and set the scene. U.S. seems to be all about that slam bang opening. Not sure. I hope…"

"No problem at all. Bounce some off us if you want. Just find your style. That's the most important thing. I pay close attention to the audience, if I see someone react more than others, I sort of drag them into the presentation for a minute.…"

"Sally, I've been speaking regarding my experience with U.S. publishers. I have no idea if UK publishers are different. I love England. My sister lived there for 10 years and we have a good friend who lives in a place called Poland Mills."

Sally,

With apologies for being tardy with my welcome, we're delighted to have you in the novelist group!

You might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion if you're not too uncomfortable talking about what you're working on. We save the wall for discussion, so please refrain from linking to blog posts there, but do add them in the “Links to Helpful Blog Posts for Writers” discussion thread.

And we do a live chat every Wednesday at 1EST; instructions on how to participate if you haven't done so already are in the "Our Water Cooler Wednesdays" box near the top of the group page.
