ABOUT URBAN REVIEWS

MISSION STATEMENT
- 
Urban Reviews is the premier online resource for open and honest opinions on some of today's latest and greatest releases in African-American Fiction.  Our goal is to provide an insight for visitors to decide whether or not they should consider getting any of the featured releases.

Urban Reviews provides elaborate reviews of recent works, exclusive interviews with today’s Black fiction writers, new release information, diferent networks (Facebook Group, Twitter, etc) to discuss books, relevant topics, and give feedback on our reviews or the website itself. The Facebook Group is also meant to encourage everyone to take part and share information with each other and submit their own opinions on books that they have evaluated themselves. You can also learn about industry news, get press releases, be eligible for contests, get daily book previews delivered to your inbox, and much more in the Facebook Group.

We here at Urban Reviews feel that the website can be one of the best vehicles for getting informed on what’s hot and what’s not in the African American fiction world.

This website is dedicated to my late husband and Co-Founder/Co-Webmaster Charles Hubbert.
