QB Wells, is not just an author trying to make a name for himself, but if you have as much determination as he does, he just may publish your book. He’s an editor, writer, publisher and creator of two websites that give independent authors free advice on how to promote their work and get it distributed. What I admire about Mr. Wells is that he writes about issues that occur in the Black community, but others are afraid to address. I definitely wanted to tackle where he gets his motivation, his secret to being a successful Street Fiction author, and oh yeah, ask exactly what Street Fiction is.

Recently, I had a chance to sit down with director/writer/author/producer, Antwone Fisher. We discussed everything from his thriving career to his ever changing challenges as the father of two girls. Fisher, is best known for the screenplay based on his life story, Antwone Fisher, but he has come a long way from his troubled up bringing in Cleveland, OH. In order for the interview to proceed, I had to promise not to release the video footage of our interview—or else I would be subject to a good old fashioned Antwone Fisher beat down. He opened up to me about his current projects, life lessons learned, his inspiration, and his newly released book.

Nicole Davis is a sister, mother, wife & writer. She let nothing get in the way of her passion to write, not even being on lockdown.

Originally from Chicago, Davis was an outspoken tomboy who always had a love for writing. She went to school, where she studied real estate. Davis is currently serving a fourteen year sentence in a federal prison after a series of unfortunate events. However, the fourteen years are almost up. While serving time, Davis became a phenomenal writer of the novels, Chicago’s Baddest B----, Unfinished Bizness, Fire and Flame, and 3 Brothaz.

Oftentimes, when tragedy hits so close to home, we want to bury our heads in the sand and not face the harsh realities of what everyday living can produce. As a result, the safest thing to do is curl up in a ball and hide. Author and entrepreneur Arlene Brathwaite did the exact opposite. Not only did she pen the two masterpieces 'Youngin' and 'Ol' Timer' to speak out against the glorification of 'street dreams' and how crime can not only emotionally scar the person involved individually, but damage an entire family, but she allowed her pain to serve as a vehicle for her newfound gift of writing. Now, further developing into a seasoned writer, Arlene fuses her passion of the written word with her mission to promote literacy across the country and enjoys taking you along her journey.
