Clearinghouse for English language fiction set in foreign countries
From:

Hello,
#1 My question is if there is a clearing house(s) that focuses on books in English-language (including translations) fiction that is set in foreign countries. I'm not having much success with finding publishers that specialize in this field. I've seen a few lists from public libraries but they aren't very extensive. At the moment the best source seems to be Global Books in Print. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
#2 I have a similar question, I'd also like to know if there are publishers and/or a clearing house(s) that focus on fiction set in foreign countries (in particular Japan, China, Germany, and Spanish speaking countries) that are not written in the native language. Publisher catalogs need to be bilingual (include English) for selection purposes. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Regards, Michael Shires
