INTRODUCING SAVANT EDITOR MOMILANI AWANA

Posted by Daniel S. on Monday, November 17, 2014, In : Welcome

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...

Posted by Daniel S. on Sunday, January 12, 2014, In : New Editor

David Shinsato is glad to be continuing with Savant, this time as an Editor (in addition to proofreader). He's a still the laid back guy who likes to read, serve at church, and hang out with his friends. He's recently engaged, and he and partner are planning to marry in December of this year. 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...

S. Stanley Gordon Hits Honolulu

Posted by Daniel S. on Sunday, January 22, 2012, In : author visit

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...

Savant Author A. G. Hayes Visits Oahu's Northshore

Posted by Daniel S. on Saturday, December 31, 2011, In : author visit

I was my pleasure to meet with A. G. Hayes, author of WHO'S KILLING ALL THE LAWYERS (Savant 2011), and family just before Christmas. Hayes visited Oahu's famous Northshore during the Triple Crown of Surfing Event, the last leg of a near around-the-world cruise where he lectured, signed and dedicated books for fellow cruisers. A. G., his Hawaii family and I lunched one day at Jamison's famous open-air bar and grill in Haleiwa, and another day at The Chart House, talking with

locals and visitors...

Savant Books and Publications second afternoon coffee at Cafe 2600, featuring the release of Daniel S. Janik's children's book, A WHALE'S TALE, was a black T-shirt affair. About forty authors, editors, distributors, writers, University of Hawaii Students and public dropped by for coffee...and a whale of a good time.

"The release party was a complete success, with book sales well above expectations," said author Daniel S. Janik. A WHALE'S TALE recounts the adventures of a juvenile humpback wha...

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.
