Week 5: Building Base Knowledge Part II Assignment 1


I have been looking at streetfiction.org as a resource.
The Street Fiction website has such a diversity of subgenres that I didn’t know about before—Urban Christian Fiction and Urban Fantasy Fiction, for example. You can look at the Amazon bestsellers if someone is looking for the more popular urban titles. You can also bring up an Urban Author list which is nice. Most of the site is sort of a featured list of books with their book covers and plot summary. Users can leave comments on the book, but it’s not a sophisticated site like Goodreads where you can sort by ratings, etc.
It also seems to be a site where they encourage new writers to become involved. There is an Urban publishers list as well as author writing tips and author interviews.
You can also submit your email to get new books in your mailbox if you’re an avid urban fiction reader.
I think I’ll use this site if someone specifically asks for recommendations within the genre, but otherwise I probably won’t use the site too much.
