Christopher Toliver”'s dabbling in creative writing ultimately grew into a passion. Drawing on his extensive experience with street life, Chris has now published his first novel, Hallway Man, as well as a wealth of poems and short stories. In 2010, while doing freelance work with Insight Newspaper, Toliver was awarded a Micro Grant through Project in Pride and Living to further his ambition in obtaining a black-owned publishing company. Toliver says the grant was a seed that not only assisted him financially, but an unseen intervention that confirmed that he belonged. A native of Milwaukee, he is an inspiring author and speaker residing in Minneapolis.
