SAVANT TALKS TO THE WORLD ABOUT PUBLISHING

August 6, 2016
I was recently asked by Ms. Connie Dunn for an interview regarding my experiences as a publisher and advice to contemporary authors. It's seldom I enjoy an interview as much as this one which I gladly share with you:

INTRODUCING SAVANT EDITOR MOMILANI AWANA

November 17, 2014
My passion for writing was fueled in no small part by the sheer volume of books I consumed from an early age. In retrospect, I probably consumed those books because I suffered from a dreadful case of then-undiagnosed myopia and found the written word to be my best means of “seeing” the world around me. Despite my literal, and perhaps figurative, shortsightedness, I won a few of statewide writing competitions with stories that tended to highlight my rebellious yet-sympathetic nature—stor...

INTRODUCING DR. SUZANNE LANGFORD, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Several postings ago, I had the pleasure of introducing Dr. Suzanne Langford as a Savant editor.

RISING TO THE OCCASION

February 17, 2014
Finding a safe place on today's book publishing battlefield is no easy task; more so, charting a growth position for an uncertain future. For example, bookstores, mainly the large and regional chain stores, which have long been the mainstays of retail book sales, are disappearing at an alarming rate (a la Borders and now Barnes and Noble). The dwindling 3,000 small, independent bookstores are being heavily stressed to stay open as well. But that's nothing new -- it's been coming for a long t...

David Shinsato is glad to be continuing with Savant, this time as an Editor (in addition to proofreader).

He's also taking the necessary steps to becoming a freelance direct response copywriter. Until then, he'll also be working as a busser, then hopefully a waiter, at Gyotaku Japanese restaurant in Pear...
