Peter, If your book is targeted at an international audience you might want
to include agencies that not only cover the US (and Canada?) but also some
other areas of the world: Australia, New Zealand, UK...
I don't know of any off the top of my head -- maybe some other
"international" Techwirlers can help.
There are many freelance (and staff) writers outside of the United States!
