Author Craft / Re: Question on marketablility of location.

My thanks to all of you.

Leaving the story as is will probably save me a month or so of research and re-writing.
For some reason, locating it outside the U.S has been a worry nagging away at me, and rather frequently driving me into useless bouts of meaningless distraction.

I'm also rather thrilled at your opinions, as it allows me to inject some local color into certain story aspects - though I've caught myself a few times including phrasing and underlying general assumptions that don't exist elsewhere.

My thanks again for each of your thoughts, and if you have any others - please fire away  ;)

Author Craft / Question on marketablility of location.

Quick question Ladies & Gents - need some opinions.

I'm currently working on a UF novel, and I'm a little uncertain in regards to where I'm planning on setting the story.
I live in Melbourne, Australia and the question I'm wrestling with is whether to set the story locally or on whether to place it in a U.S city.
From what research I've been able to manage, when it comes to UF books, almost all are based in the U.S, with an occasional story taking place in the UK.
I've only managed to find 1 widely published series set in Aus, so I want to gather opinions on whether a series set here is likely to be marketable, or whether I should set it in the U.S.

Any ideas much appreciated :)

I will not torment Bob by telling him that Molly has a beer bottle party trick.. And then refusing to explain further.
