He is best known for his cult debut novel, Idiots in the Machine, and for his political cartoon Ourmageddon. He has sold film projects to Disney and Sony Pictures and has written the non-fiction Cloning Yourself For Fun & Profit. Early lifeSavio was born in Berlin, Connecticut, and grew up studying movies and writing scripts very early on: I started writing plays and scripts in sixth grade. "Snow Night and the Seven Dorks" & "United Bananas" were my first attempts. What I really wanted to be was a director. There were—my 12-year-old self learned—a few main ways to become a director. You could start out as a cinematographer. I had no equipment. You could be a famous actor. I can act. But that doesn't mean I can act well. Or...you can be a writer. In my comp classes, I wrote everything in present tense. One frustrated teacher finally wrote in the margin: "This is not prose! It reads like a screenplay." So, that's how I started.[1]Savio and his family was the initial host family to Christian Gerhartsreiter who years later became a convicted murderer and kidnapper.[2] In his teens, Gerhartsreiter lived in Savio's home and it was last time he used his real name before taking on a succession of aliases. Savio was a prosecution witness in Gerhartsreiter's murder trial in Los Angeles.[3][4] Early careerAfter attending Howard University as the only white undergraduate student to live on campus at the time, Savio moved to Los Angeles, where he wrote a dozen screenplays, honing his skill. Working at the historic, landmark Fox Theater, Westwood Village where he ended up living in the tower for several months, Savio met Jack Freedman, longtime Vice President of Worldwide Film Acquisition at Warner Bros. Freedman optioned Savio's twelfth script, The Royal Pain. CareerScreenplaysSavio continued writing original spec scripts and doing rewrites for independent producers. Almost exactly ten years after arriving, he made his first major sale, selling Swiss Family Rubinstein (with Peter Mackie) to Disney Studios for Bette Midler.[5][6] Then a series of sales followed including "Book 'Em" to Sony[7] for Chris Farley and "Idiots in the Machine to Sony and Academy Award-winning producer Wendy Finerman (Forrest Gump) from his debut novel of the same name.[8] NovelsSavio's debut novel, Idiots in the Machine, was published in 2001. The film rights were bought in a seven-figure deal by Sony for Academy Award-winning producer Wendy Finerman (Forrest Gump).[8] Velvet Sledgehammer (2019) Online and other writingSavio began writing for his personal blog Notes in the Margin. In 2016, he created a political cartoon, Dillary, which turned into Ourmaggeddon. He started it because he couldn't understand what was happening in the 2016 Election and wanted an outlet for comedic relief. Non-writingBefore selling his first major script, Savio worked for a number of talent and literary agents, including Lou Pitt, Ed Limato, Todd Harris, Lee Rosenberg. Working for them, Savio witnessed how highly successful people leverage their employees and assistants to get things done more efficiently, which inspired Cloning Yourself For Fun & Profit, a blueprint for outsourcing tasks to streamline personal workflow. This led to Savio co-founding PersonalFriday.com which offered part-time, shared assistants.[9] References1. ^{{Cite web|url=http://edwardsavio.com/so-how-did-i-get-started/|title=So, How I Got Started|website=|dead-url=}} 2. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2009/01/fake_rockefeller200901|title=The Man in the Rockefeller Suit|last=Seal|first=Mark|work=Vanities|access-date=2018-04-09|language=en}} 3. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2013/03/20/medical-examiner-gerhartsreiter-trial-describes-three-blows-head-copious-blood-likely-scene/xEo3pwfLn5cN4tsAgp5jDP/story.html|title=Medical examiner in Gerhartsreiter trial describes three blows to head, copious blood likely at scene - The Boston Globe|work=Boston Globe|access-date=2018-04-09}} 4. ^{{Cite news|url=http://articles.latimes.com/2013/apr/07/local/la-me-fake-rockefeller-murder-20130408|title=A simple fabulist, or a killer clever at covering his tracks?|last=Branson-Potts|first=Hailey|date=2013-04-07|work=Los Angeles Times|access-date=2018-04-09|last2=Leonard|first2=Jack|issn=0458-3035}} 5. ^{{Cite news|url=https://gointothestory.blcklst.com/the-definitive-spec-script-sales-list-1991-2012-1995-dec0c549171e|title=The Definitive Spec Script Sales List (1991–2012): 1995|date=2012-06-11|work=Go Into The Story|access-date=2018-04-09}} 6. ^{{Cite news|title=Dis Wins Wacky 'Swiss Family' in Bidding War|date=March 9, 1995|work=The Hollywood Reporter|dead-url=|page=1}} 7. ^{{Cite news|title='Book 'Em' rights read by TriStar|date=October 20, 1995|work=The Hollywood Reporter|dead-url=|page=3}} 8. ^1 {{Cite news|title='Idiots' delights TriStar, Finerman|date=November 20, 1995|work=Daily Variety|dead-url=|page=1}} 9. ^{{Cite news|url=https://nypost.com/2008/12/09/let-me-assist-you/|title=LET ME ASSIST YOU|date=2008-12-09|work=New York Post|access-date=2018-04-09|language=en-US}} External links
