Urban Literary Review

Most people are very familiar with the term “Starving Artist”. Usually this relates to actors and actresses, musicians and more importantly writers. In today’s crazy business world it can be nearly impossible to gain recognition as a writer. Many writers succumb to the feeling that their chances of getting their works out to world are the same as their odds of picking the winning lottery numbers. However what many of these frustrated writers do not realize, is that they may just be approaching their problems in the wrong way.

Every Thursday evening Urban Literary Review invites successfully published working authors, and other industry insiders and professionals, to join them on their radio cast and recount their trials and tribulations towards gaining the success that they have garnered.

On October 4th Nakea Murray (Literary Consultant Group) will join them on the air to give advice to aspiring authors on what his agency reads and tosses. Murray will offer the audience solid approaches to their success by giving them hints and pointers as to just what literary agents look for in authors, and how you can get one; one of the biggest keys towards getting yourself a publishing contract.

Following a 30 minute stint with Murray the show will also have Treasure E. Blue, author of "Harlem Girl Lost" and “A Street Girl Name Desire" on the show to guide the listeners with advice on how he was able to self publish and sell 40,000 copies of his books before acquiring a major writing contract. For any writer who is seeking the know-how so they can become a paid professional, this show is a must listen!
