There comes a time in every industry when a
company enters into it, propelling the enterprise forward. This
usually inspires an evolution. It is sometimes said that the
heads of these companies, the masterminds, have creative
instinct. Others belittle this aptitude by calling it timing.
Some believe it to be all of the above, and in the end, only
those who have a firm pulse on their market possess staying
power. The Cartel Publications is that company.
They have been repeatedly ranked with popular urban publishers
in business for five years plus. They accept this honor
wholeheartedly. In business since early 2008, the Cartel has
managed to secure a solid position within the hip/hop literary
industry. Recognizing their readers enjoy being entertained both
literally and visually; they pride themselves in marketing their
novels and company image to effortlessly stand out above the
rest. Their novels have been featured in Don Diva Magazine,
Essence Magazine, The Baltimore Sun, Washington Paper, and many
others. They have made their presence felt, and spectators say
it is just the beginning.
Their recipe of gritty novels, bullhorn-like titles and award
winning book covers has made them a force to be reckoned with.
In addition, their breathtaking website has garnered major
attention which assists in their consistent growth. On the site
(www.thecartelpublications.com)
vendors and readers are offered opportunities to promote their
titles and they enjoy doing so because they believe in their
vision.
They have been known as the interactive publisher but they are
not interested in tags. They are interested in the spirit of the
stories, which accurately depict urban life and must stay true
to individuals who both appreciate and relate to the themes.
They know their market. They are not only publishers. They are
not just authors. They are the voice of a generation, which
desires nothing more than to have their voice heard. Finally
they have a representative. They are street lit!
