The Corrupt Author Cedric Long
Cedric Long, better known as The Corrupt Author, is a Southern-born fiction writer with a taste for psychological drama and morally gray storytelling. A disgraced former employee of The Alabama Department of Corrections (and proud to be gone), The Corrupt Author spent years navigating the underworld of state prisons, mental health wards, and bureaucratic hypocrisy-fuel for his razor-sharp, deeply human stories.
He's not your picture-perfect author. No polished grammar, no forced eloquence. just a Bama bad boy with a Southern drawl, crooked wisdom, and a blunt pen. After realizing he didn't fit the mold of what an author's public image should be, He wasn't well conservative, he wasn't well mannered. He tried to "clean it up" for the literary world-until one day, he said: "Fk it. I'm the Corrupt Author"
​
His most notable work, The Corrupt Officer's Guides series, draws directly from his experiences inside state institutions. He writes not about heros or villains, but the twisted, beautiful, messy gray in between.
