In the fall of 2008, Summerside Press launched the Love Finds You™ fiction series, which features inspirational romance novels set in actual cities and towns across the United States. We release approximately two titles every other month. These are full-length novels, with a word count of around 80K words (320 pages). The stories may be historical or contemporary.
One goal of the Love Finds You™ series is to give readers a taste of local life across America, so each novel should draw on the compelling history or unique character of a real town. Plot details should remain reasonably faithful to the town’s history, geography, and/or atmosphere. Additionally, each story in the series should make a clear connection to the name of the town in which it is set. For example, a story titled Love Finds You in Revenge, Ohio might feature revenge as a central theme.
Although Summerside Press will provide clear content boundaries, authors will be allowed the creative leeway they need to develop excellently-crafted fiction. Please refer to our Fiction Guidelines for more information regarding the goals and criteria for the line.
