“Mike Enemigo’s work is raw, authentic, and powerful. It’s made all the more remarkable by the fact that Mike’s books are written from inside a California prison. His work gives hope to incarcerated writers everywhere struggling to get their voices heard.”


KEVIN DEUTSCH, AWARD-WINNING TRUE CRIME WRITER, AUTHOR OF PILL CITY: HOW TWO HONOR ROLL STUDENTS FOILED THE FEDS AND BUILT A DRUG EMPIRE

“My man Mike represents the west coast like a literary OG! I respect his grind and pen game! Look out for The Cell Block!”


KWAME ‘DUTCH’ TEAGUE

“Mike Enemigo is the truth. An emerging writer who plies his trade inside the belly of the beast. A convict author of epic proportions, reaching out to the world with his pen as he fights an unjust system.”


– Seth Ferranti, writer/producer of White Boy (STARZ)

“This author has a unique voice and his versatile pen is refreshing. Mike has my stamp of approval.”


– JAQUAVIS COLEMAN, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR
