Watch here for details concerning our 2022/23 Gathering



2015 and 2016 Annual Gathering of
Honolulu Writers, Authors and Poets



THE GATHERINGS, from 1 to 5 p.m., were meetings of international writers, authors, poets, recording artists, publishers, media and interested public. The event was held in the Parlor Room of the Famous Moana Surfrider Hotel in Waikiki.

Not a typical "writers' conference," it was rather a place for writers, authors, and poets (published or unpublished), editors, publishers, agents, publicists -- in short, anyone interested in any aspect of publishing -- to schmooze together one-on-one. A single $25 entrance fee included the opportunity to pitch an unpublished manuscript or poem directly to publishers. 

Organized by Savant Books and Publications, this unique meeting format was  designed by the Neurobiological Learning Society and co-sponsored by the Pacific Rim Book Festival
