I am a 21 years old author who lives in South Africa and wants to look for a US based publisher but I have less than $10, 000 to my name. I have interests in looking for such a publisher in the state of California and while I do, all I'd need is accommodation. I will look for a part-time job whilst I wait.
Is it possible to get a family to accommodate you while you settle in in California?

I would forget it for now.You have to be pretty much a celebrity in the states to get published. Also you may not get into the states.You cannot ask a family to accommodate you. To get in you need a clean police record, and at least $50,000 in cash.You can't beg in America. Why not try in your own country?
I am not begging -- that's where you got it wrong. I am published, in my own country. I am simply trying to expand my writing and explore other territories because that's what business-minded writers do. I am not even in any way begging. Because after all, in this new world -- you know, post-modern times and all that -- everything is global and one simply seeking to relocate and try their luck somewhere else is allowed.
