Street Lit AKA Urban Fiction is not new! Authors such as Donald Goines and Iceberg Slim began writing about the world of pimps, gangsters, hustlas and drug dealers in the 1970's. Recently a younger generation of writers such as Teri Woods, Vickie Stringer and Nikki Turner have brought street lit back! In 2007, urban fiction accounted for 4% of the adult fiction market, with 82,000 copies sold!
