Literati Press formed in 2010 with a mission to support storytellers through publishing and book-related events. In 2016, we added a bookstore in the Paseo Arts District to further represent Oklahoma writers while encouraging a passion for reading within our community.

In Fall 2024, we will unveil a creative writing center within our bookshop and will partner with creative professionals across the metro to help storytellers develop their crafts and establish their own careers.

Our hope is to introduce the type of tools and infrastructural support we wish existed when we forged our own path within the publishing industry.

The Literati Press Creative Writing Center will provide programming focused on storytelling across an array of mediums such as fiction, comics, songwriting, dramaturgy, poetry, and tabletop games. Sign up to our newsletter for updates.

The class is an all ages, live drawing event open to illustrators and writers to help build the foundational tools of comic book creation.

I'd like to say THANK YOU all for putting up with the cramped space. We can return to the "backrooms" once it starts to get cooler. It's just way too hot right now, even for the office. 😩
