Urban Drama

Wikipedia says Urban Fiction is a literary genre set, as the name implies, in a city landscape; however, the genre is as much defined by the socio-economic realities and culture of its characters as the urban setting. The tone for urban fiction is usually dark, focusing on the underside of city living. Profanity, sex, and violence are usually explicit, with the writer not shying away from or watering-down the material. In this respect, urban fiction shares some common threads with dystopian or survivalist fiction.

What Intrigue will be looking for are stories based in urban drama but unlike some publishers of urban drama Intrigue will not require all of the characters to be of a single race. We encourage stories that are diverse and will engage readers of any race.

FEATURED AUTHORS

B. Swangin Webster, has been successful with urban drama. Her novels are NOT street-lit which we believe tend to glorify the worst facets of inner city life. Instead, her books are powerful journeys of self-discovery and tales of family or interpersonal drama. They are rooted in the African American community but their messages and the emotions they evoke are universal. Still, there is a specific, easily targeted market for this literature – the growing community of educated and professional African Americans. And as this writing is filled with intrigue, it fits our focus perfectly.
