Divine G Entertainment launches Goodreads giveaway for 100 copies of No Other Love

Divine G Entertainment is offering 100 Kindle copies of John "Divine G" Whitfield’s novel No Other Love through a Goodreads giveaway that runs through Nov. 13, 2026. The book centers on a wrongful murder conviction and is part of Whitfield’s post-incarceration publishing work.

Why it matters: - The giveaway lowers the barrier for readers to discover a novel shaped by wrongful conviction, incarceration and reentry themes. - The promotion also extends the reach of John "Divine G" Whitfield’s publishing work beyond his existing audience.

What happened: - Divine G Entertainment announced a Goodreads giveaway for 100 Kindle editions of No Other Love. - The giveaway closes Nov. 13, 2026. - Entry details are available at the Goodreads giveaway page.

The details: - No Other Love is a novel set in Brooklyn in 1994. - The story follows Dinasia Whitman and Tislam Parker, two young people who meet and fall in love in the New York State foster care system. - The characters are four months from aging out of foster care when a shooting outside a public housing development changes their lives. - Parker is convicted of a murder committed by another man and sentenced to 30 years to life. - Five years later, Whitman has built a career and a household elsewhere when she learns evidence tied to the case may still exist. - Goodreads is administering the giveaway. - The giveaway is open to U.S. residents age 18 or older. - Entry requires a Goodreads account and no purchase. - Goodreads selects winners at the close of the giveaway period. - Winners receive the Kindle edition in their Goodreads account. - Goodreads invites winners to post a review, but a review is not required to enter or receive the book. - No Other Love is also available in paperback, as a Kindle edition and as an audiobook narrated by the author. - The novel was written while Whitfield was incarcerated. - Whitfield spent 25 years in New York State prisons and was released in 2012. - Whitfield has published eight novels, all written during that period.

Between the lines: - Whitfield’s own life inspired the A24 feature film Sing Sing, where Colman Domingo portrays him. - Sing Sing received Academy Award nominations for Best Actor and Best Adapted Screenplay. - Whitfield shares credit on the screenplay and also appears in the film. - While incarcerated, Whitfield co-founded Rehabilitation Through the Arts, a nonprofit that provides theater and creative arts programming in New York State correctional facilities. - Rehabilitation Through the Arts says participants released from prison have a 3% recidivism rate, compared with about 60% for the general released population. - Whitfield has received four PEN Awards, the Tacenda Literary Award and a United Nations citation for advocacy on education in detention. - Since his release, Whitfield has worked as a youth counselor in New York City and as a train operator for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. - Whitfield said, "I wrote this book in a cell, on a typewriter, over about a year." - Whitfield said, "The story is invented. The setting is not. I was describing a world I knew from the inside." - Whitfield said the giveaway is meant to reach readers who might not otherwise pick up the novel. - Whitfield said, "Most people have no particular reason to pick up a novel about a man in prison. Removing the price removes one obstacle to trying it."

What's next: - Readers can enter the giveaway through Nov. 13, 2026. - Divine G Entertainment says more information is available at its website.
