Whyte began his writing career while still working for the New York City Administration for Children's Services.
He began writing seriously when he became a member of The Tuesday Night Writers’ Workshop ran by Professor Sue Shapiro of the New York University School of Continuing Education, and within a year his first novel was published.
His Ghetto Girls Series tells the tale of four young women attending NYC high schools who are talented singers and dancers.
Whyte credits writers including Chester Himes, Iceberg Slim and Shakespeare for influences.
