Savant Books and Publications, a small, independent publisher of books, CDs and DVDs is anything but small these days! 

In January 2012, we launched the first of our own bookstores, Savant Bookstore Honolulu (http://www.savantbookstorehonolulu.com) which is open for business, author parties, book release parties and book award parties every Saturday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Coffee Talk Coffee House in Kaimuki, a 5-minute bus ride from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, Chaminade University, K...

I'm often asked if author, book release, book signing and book award parties really work. Well, here's proof: Savant author S. Stanley Gordon (MY TWO WIVES AND THREE HUSBANDS, 2011) and partner, Joe Gordon, during a recent visit to Honolulu, held book signing/award parties at the Savant Bookstore Honolulu in Kaimuki and next day at Hula's Bar and Lei Stand in Waikiki. The result: over 30 contacts (five celebrities!), six books sold, and an invitation to place the book in "80% Straight" in Wai...

Remember those good 'ole days over at Cafe 2600 when we'd all get together either with a "live" or "Skyped-in" author for new book releases?  Well, they're back with infinitely more class and opportunity.

Clubhouse Makino (formerly Hard Rock Cafe Honolulu just across the Ala Wai Canal from Waikiki and easily accessible by tourists) is loc...

On Saturday, 25 September, Savant Books and Publications hosted a "Meet the Publisher" Afternoon Coffee at Cafe 2600 from 4 to 6 p.m. with over 20 local readers, writers, authors, editors, screenwriters, publicists and producers attending. It was a wonderful chance for everyone to meet, one-on-one and talk book publishing. The event was so successful, we've decided to make it a regular, approximately bi-weekly event, at least for the time being.

NEXT EVENT is Saturday, 16 October 2010, from 4...

As a small, independent publisher, I'm often asked by prospective authors where they can see their books displayed so they can watch readers oooh and ahhh over their books.  Well, one thing for sure, the book publishing industry has and continues to change at such a pace, it's been a long time since I attempted anything like that.  Nowadays, it's mostly about Amazon.com sales ranks and monthly marketing reports from the various online sales.  Those wonderful, brick and mortar (B&M) bookshops ...
