I am glad that my publisher, Melange Books, is an American publisher. After my experience with a non-American publisher, (Cogito,) that point has struck home. For one thing, you don't have to worry about a different set of laws regarding publishing rights and I am not even sure what those differences are. But another thing you don't have to worry about is the mail situation.
If you can confine your mail to within the states, you can get one day mailing pretty much guaranteed. If you try that to another country, even Canada, then it's not going to happen. I've tried it. At one point, my mail didn't get delivered until five days later. The last time, it didn't even get delivered. But that's another story. I'm just glad I don't have to deal with that anymore.
So my advice is stay American. Less problems, less hassle, and probably an easier thing when it comes to getting paid. And that's a pretty good reason right there.
