Do you try when possible to read from your local area, or even just your country? Do you think it's important to immerse yourself, or possibly even contribute towards the authorship of where you are from, rather than focusing purely on places elsewhere?

I ask this personally because I live in NZ, and I've noticed through the selection of books I've read here that there are plenty of well-written pieces created by NZ authors. Yet when I discuss with Kiwis about the writing scene they always emphasis looking overseas to find success, which I feel is a shame and a waste of talent that could be used spark a larger local writing scene.

Hey, that's cool. I'm from New Zealand as well. I love going to book stores on Cuba or whatever and finding random local history books for sale. And we do indeed have some good poets and authors and I always look forward to their releases.

There are, what, 4.5m of us? The overwhelming majority don't buy books. Writers congregate on those shitty university magazines which function mostly as academic echo-chambers. If you want to make a living writing it's pretty hard just because there's so few people here.
