An evening with Anton Marks
“Urban novels are nothing new but their popularity have become something of a phenomenon for mainstream publishers especially in the States unfortunately we haven’t been so forward thinking in the UK. It has been a long, sometimes disheartening journey, fighting with agents and publishers along the way, having novels shelved or simply being away from you for too long without my presence lighting up our bookshelves.”
Author of urban lit novels and independent publisher, Anton Marks discusses his work and shares his experience in the book industry centerprise
