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.
