The Black Power of Fiction

Queen editor, Malaika Adero wrote a column in Publishers Weekly about the raging (and overdone) debate of street lit versus literary fiction. I always like to hear her take because she is in the middle and she's also an industry insider that knows the struggles that publishing presents.

In this piece, she speaks my mind. I couldn't have said it better. No really, I couldn't have.

Also, Mrs. Adero is doing something about the lack of exposure for literary writers. Check out www.upsouth.org to get information about the Up South International Festival that she is coordinating.
