John,
I would answer your question:
------------------------------
And what would you chaps say to a Brit might muse on the idea of working as
an author in the US?
------------------------------
by saying that IF you can find someone to hire you (and therefore
sponsor you through the immigration controls) you'll thoroughly enjoy
working here. The Americans are very fond of the British, love
British culture, humor, and especially a British accent.
I always feel a little ashamed when I have to admit that the Brits are
not very Americanophile, at least not until they have visited the US
at least once.
