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.
