  5. Thoughts on writing for international readership  When I came to the United States after being raised in England I quickly discovered that the joke that they are "two countries divided by a single language" has strong elements of truth to it.

Since September 1997 my experience writing an e-zine that now reaches more than forty countries has taught me to be extremely careful in how I express my ideas. These thoughts may be useful to e-zine writers and others who communicate across national and cultural boundaries.

Now all you need is the time to commit your words to paper. But where, how do you find it?
