Crystal Winslow Shim

Over the last decade, the avenue for diverse writers and their subject matter has been redefined. And with this new opportunity comes an ambitious New York based company - Melodrama Publishing. Founded in 2001 by award-winning author, Crystal Winslow Shim, Melodrama's portfolio continues to expand. With the launch of Brooklyn Books, an imprint of the parent company, Melodrama knows the urban literary marketplace well. National, well-regarded publications such as Black Enterprise Magazine and Publisher's Weekly has heralded the efforts and accomplishments of Winslow. Building a legacy of quality and commitment, this independent publisher continues to grow an impressive repertoire of talented writers who bring real-life experiences to their work. In 2007, [Winslow] opened Winslow Shim Literary Agency and inked a six-figure advance for a client.
