Kensington Adds Original Street Lit Titles PDF Print E-mail
Publishing & Literary News

Black Girl Lost book coverI actually think this is kind of a big deal. According to Publishers Weekly:

Kensington Publishing has acquired most of the publishing assets of Holloway House Publishing in Los Angeles, the original publisher of such classic black crime writers as Donald Goines, adding an historic trove of gritty African American popular literature to its publishing program. The acquisition includes about 400 backlist titles which will become part of a new imprint at Kensington called Holloway House Classics. Holloway House also publishes a range of popular fiction and nonfiction titles including biographies of famous African Americans.


Kensington’s Holloway House Classics will begin releasing titles in mass market and trade formats, in addition to releasing original urban fiction that complements the line. Holloway House Classics will join Kensington’s growing list of African American oriented imprints like Dafina, Urban Soul and Vibe Street Lit.

Am I the only one wondering how Kensington managed to do this?

But for those of you, like myself, who were wondering, this deal doesn't include Iceburg Slim (Robert Beck) titles. Kensington will just act as the distributor for those books.
