About the Topic:
Mr. Savas will present an insider’s view of the business of niche publishing, working with authors developing manuscripts, and his own projects to enhance the study and preservation of history.
He has been in the business for decades and has been a witness to the evolution of book publishing. Indeed, Mr. Savas has seen the industry from all angles: as an editor, as a publisher, as an agent and consultant, and as an award-winning author in his own right. He has reportedly commented, “The world of book publishing is fascinating and changing rapidly. I’m lucky that my passion is also how I make my daily living.”
Mr. Savas will also answer questions from attendees.
