Re: non-americans writing a story set in america

Not only do I have no problems with it, feel free to message me if you want with random-ass questions. I've lived on both coasts as well as in the middle, and I have friends I can hit up for the Southwest.

But yeah, as someone said above, make sure you have all of your travel distances worked out relatively correctly (Google Maps is a godsend for this.) It's true that many Europeans think that American cities are a lot closer together than they actually are, but it's equally jarring to see someone say that New York City and DC are 10 hours away from each other when it would take maybe half that time. Also, if at all possible try to contact somebody from where you're setting it just to get the basic slang and geographic references worked out.

thank you for the offer! i might take it if google doesn't bring up any satisfying answers.

and i will definitely use google maps in the future.
