About Savvy Authors


MISSION STATEMENT: Savvy Authors strives to provide the best tools, classes, and networking opportunities for authors in all stages of their writing careers, from aspiring novelists to multi-published authors.

We at SavvyAuthors are committed to developing a community that embraces:
- Mentoring and sharing of knowledge and expertise among our members.
- Fun and respectful competition in the pursuit of writerly excellence.
- High quality opportunities for publication, promotion and advancement.
- A strong writer’s support network.
- The tools to let each of our members achieve their publication goals.



About Us

Savvy Authors started with a simple conversation between two writers. How could writers at various stages of their career help one another to achieve their goals? Whether it be promoting their new release, or finding a way to break through chapter three on their first book, the idea was to create a website where authors could network and gain motivation through workshops, chat rooms and online tools. Discussions included what workshops would be of the greatest benefit to members, how to use a community of authors to boost published author sales as well as help those who have yet to find a home for their book - and even those writers who are still in the stages of finishing their book.

Our hope is we've created a web home for writers that will help navigate that crazy road to publication, and to keep those who have already traveled that road stay on track. Fun and informative, there's something for everyone here at Savvy Authors.

The new world of publication is changing faster than any one person can keep up. Having a community that you can rely on with a diverse group of writers from a variety of genres can help provide the edge that each of us needs to achieve our publication dreams. And while we’re doing that we can help other’s achieve their dreams, too.

And that is what Savvy Authors is all about: Writers helping Writers. It may be learning to critique better and thereby improving your own self-editing skills, or by helping someone in our chat room untangle a plot snarl. Each time we help one another, everyone learns and improves. And for our published authors who tirelessly give back to their fellow writers, when each has a book nearing release, we cheer him or her on, create a buzz through social networking tools, and help promote the book with a blog tour system and site promotions.

It’s all here, no matter what your publication status. Savvy Authors: writers helping writers.

We'd love to hear from you!
