In July 2013, I served as the “editor-in-residence” for the Codex Writing Group, which meant basically I was asking a month-long AMA (“Ask Me Anything”) interview. With Codex’s permission, I’m re-posting the Q&As here on my blog. The questions were all provided by members of Codex.

Do you notice any common differences in submissions from within the U.S. versus other-English speaking countries versus other international submissions?

Aside from punctuation and spelling…not really! I’m sure I could detect some such trends if I really tried to analyze stories from around the world, but off the top of my head, just incidentally as I read submissions? No, haven’t picked up on anything like that. Though, I don’t always notice where the author is from unless I’m buying their story.

From October 1 – October 31, I’ll be running a Kickstarter campaign for a new project called HELP FUND MY ROBOT ARMY!!!, an anthology of improbable, futuristic, magical, & alternate-world crowdfunding projects. Please check it out, consider backing it, and, if you’re so inclined, spread the word!
