Sidney Ogletree is the owner of Imperial Publishing, the author of When The Smoke Clear and How To Prevent Early Troubles In A Young Black Man. Ogletree has been writing for the past 5 years and has grown to use writing as a way to express his thoughts and feelings through words. In 2021 he published his first book and gained a passion for wanting to help other writers, which played a big part of him becoming a publisher. Outside of writing he's always looking for ways to expand his mind for his other business ventures, his family that includes his son, two daughters and his wife. Ogletree is currently working on multiple projects as well as transitioning into mentorship for troubled young men to help them better discover their self and turn towards living in their life's purpose. With having his own trials and tribulations, Ogletree knows firsthand what the road to making wrong decisions will lead to. Because of his past he wants to be the voice of reason to help our youth to a better future. His goal is to help the youth stay clear of the wrong things before it's too late, as well as giving them a way to express their form of art through words as he does. Ogletree's main mission is to give writers a home where they can grow one book at a time...
