A Hustler by Nature Cornell Amir Garvin By:  Mz. Neeka Mz Neeka: Before we start, I would like to thank you on behalf of both The U ­ rban Release and myself for taking the time out of your schedule to do this interview. Cornell: Thank you for having me! Mz Neeka: Tell us about yourself. Who is Cornell? Cornell: I’m just a man who’s been through the street life and wants to share with the world my e­ xperiences. Mz Neeka: What made you decide that writing was something you wanted to do? Cornell: In school I loved to write. It didn’t matter what it was; essays, research papers, whatever. When I was incarcerated a friend of mine was writing short stories and I wanted to write a story. So, I started writing. At first it was to pass my time and then everyone was like you should publish your work. I needed a life changing career, so I chose writing novels. I WRITE IN THIS GENRE BECAUSE IT IS A LIFE THAT I AM WELL AWARE OF 04 | Literary The Urban Release
