N. M. Holmes, III is the founder and owner of Hustle Hard Publications. Mr. Holmes is an author, poet
and activist for inmates. With the pending release of Mr. Holmes' debut novel, "Can't Knock the Hustle", the idea was
born to start his own publishing company that would also seek to assist men and women in prison with the opportunity at exposure
for their work.
Mr. Holmes has two authors under the banner of Hustle Hard Publication and is seeking other writers to add
to the publishing house.
It was while incarcerated on a five year penitentiary bid that Mr. Holmes stumbled upon his own gift as
a writer. Having no financial support from family or friends on the outside to provide for his daily needs, he entered a short
story writing contest. Holmes was awarded third place in "The Hear Me Project HIV/AIDS campaign 2006 contest" which inspired
him to write a full novel.
After only two months, Holmes completed his first full length manuscript and was given encouragement from
the Queen of Street Lit herself, Ms. Nikki Turner. He is also mentored by published author and television producer Roxann
Latimer, (You Never Know & Murder Most Mystic).
N. M. Holmes decided to take his destiny into his own hands and established Hustle Hard Publications.
So please enjoy the ride and witness the greatest underdog story unfold before your eyes as N. M. Holmes, III fights his way
to the top of the literature food chain bringing some of the hottest and thrilling writers of urban fiction along for the
ride!
