I want to write a book in English about a Tajik who's supposed to meet love of his life in the Trans-Siberian train but soon he realizes her lover rather get drunk and sleep around.

I want to publish this book in America but I'm Iranian. What should I do?

btw don't worry about the semantics and grammar. My friend can edit the book like a native speaker.

the only way you will ever publish a successful book is if the book is about being the victim of racism.

Who the fuck discriminates Iranians. The TSA?

Actually this book is about racism. The Tajik gets a lot of shit from Russians and author (me) helps him along.

Make sure you publish with a really Iranian-sounding first name and a really American-sounding last name.

Something like Hamid Franklin.

My nome de plum is Chubak Bidpaa. Is it attractive?

If I go your way I choose Arshia Coolidge.

Arshia Coolidge would sell thousands more books than Chubak Bidpaa.

First have a book, or at least a decent-sized chunk of one plus a synopsis for the rest.

Best of luck, I want to visit Iran someday

Also reading "the unbearable lightness of being" might help you in your plan to write this book. It's about subject matter that is slightly different but is still related. I'm not saying you should copy it but it could help you figure out how you want your book to go.
