Dev Love Press

Publisher info

Dev Love Press was founded in June 2012 by award-winning romance novelist Ruth Madison in order to fill the void in the industry regarding the portrayal of individuals with physical disabilities. Her debut novel (W)hole (now in its second edition) was an award finalist in the romance category of the USA Book News’s National Best Books Awards in 2009.

Dev Love Press is looking to fill a hole in the world of books. There are so few novels where characters who have real flaws and real struggles, such as physical disabilities, are able to achieve love. We at Dev Love Press think that needs to change!

We’re building up a stable of books with love stories where the characters struggle physically against great odds to find love and acceptance with their perfect match.

Smashwords book reviews by Dev Love Press

  • The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing (for Indie Authors) on April 12, 2013

    A very interesting read and provides some good thoughts for indie authors. I have read Ms. Yoffa's blog and found it difficult to read because it was so dense. This book is a much, much easier read! So that was a relief. The ideas in it are a little different than common ideas floating around the indie world. It's taking marketing principles and applying them to books. Very few of us authors have a background in marketing! It definitely got me thinking about ways to energize my own promotional efforts.
