Of Books and One Editor's Hometown: Savannah, Georgia (USA)

One of the greatest services anyone passionate about literature can endeavor to provide is that of an editor. On this page are books for which it has been Aberjhani’s pleasure and honor to serve in such a capacity-- either as the chief editor or as part of an editorial team assigned to the publication. The tradition of the author as editor and vice versa is one that has included such celebrated talents as: E.L. Doctorow, Henry Louis Gates Jr., Toni Morrison, E.B. White, Langston Hughes, and
many others.

In  addition, it is worth noting that several important titles seen here deal with the culture and history of the author-editor’s hometown of Savannah, Georgia. The Savannah Literary Journal, published through the agencies of the Savannah Writers Workshop and the City of Savannah Department of Cultural Affairs, introduced a number of authors who have since gone on to achieve national and international renown. In addition, the groundbreaking Civil War Savannah Book Series (by Canadian author-historian Barry Sheehy, photographer Cindy Wallace, and historian Vaughnette Goode-Walker, is one of the most comprehensive works on the history and culture of slavery in Savannah.
