Omar Tyree, a New York Times and Essence magazine bestseller, an NAACP
Image Award and Phyllis Wheatley Literary Prize winner, and the originator of
contemporary “urban classic†novels that have spawned a national wave of
“urban/street literature,†hits home again with Corrupted, a timely and
innovative serial ebook.
In an era where hundreds of aspiring writers play an anxious game of
musical chairs to entice a shrinking group of New-York-based book editors to buy
their freshly printed manuscripts and grant their dreams of becoming
nationally published authors, Vincent Biddle reigns supreme.
Coined the man with the “golden eyeâ€, in the past decade, Vincent, a
native Bronze, New Yorker, has hand-picked, edited and positioned more than a
dozen bestselling books from his stable of authors, while generating more than
a hundred million dollars in revenue for the Williams & Klein Publishing
Group.
Vincent can’t miss and can do wrong, as he rises to a powerful senior
editor position with the publisher. But as he rises, so does his ego, creating a
reckless and eccentric craving for personal and professional
experimentations.
Vincent asks himself, “What will these writers all do to become bestsellers
and remain in the public limelight?â€
With a tight circle of volatile authors in his midst, their every weakness
soon becomes bait to be used against them, while their power-dunk editor
assumes a position of absolute authority. And things fall apart around them.
Corrupted, a serial ebook of aspirations, fame, fortune, sex, shame and
scandal, as Omar Tyree uncovers the dark, passionate and sinister side of the
American publishing industry. Rated R.
