Urban fiction authors who overcame prison and forged lucrative careers

K’wan

K’wan is one of the most accomplished authors in urban fiction, but in 2002, he was merely a novice in the writing world, as he was the first author in line to be published by the relatively small and widely unknown company, Triple Crown Publications. Catching the writing bug while serving a short stint in jail, K’wan was literally dared to write the beginnings of the classic, Gangsta.

With 11 bestsellers under his belt, a multi-book deal with St. Martin’s Press, and thousands of adoring fans that read what he writes, K’wan is regarded as one of the leaders in the genre.
