I rethought about this one and I wanted to say that it could
be easier to make a list of American authors and include
writers from other English-speaking countries in the second
list. I've come to notice that British, Australian and
Canadian writers of the genre don't usually come close to
their American counterparts and they might lose the
contest
(even though this isn't a contest). So I'd suggest that
British, Australian, Canadian and New-Zealandese and other
English-speaking authors are separated from American authors
and put together with the foreign writers. (Well, they are
all foreign to me... We don't have many HB writers here in
Finland that could compete with the guys overseas.)
