5 Minutes, 5 Questions With... Ben, author of Up The Way

When author Ben set out to get Up The Way published, he wanted far more than to simply cash in on the Urban Lit Boom. The purpose and focus of Up The Way was to give food for thought to readers in terms of the many issues that the jail systems contribute to the communities that many of the former inmates are released into.


Ben discusses:

* how Up The Way came from a challenge from one his friends in jail and turned into a tool for discussion
* how Up The Way takes an honest look at how homosexuality, corruption and the business of prisons affect people in various communities
* how confidence in Up The Way was a key factor of getting it published
