Chapter One - Literati Press Comics and Novels

Text the Bookcast and say "hi"! Welcome to the first episode of the Okie Bookcast! In this chapter, I sit down with Charles Martin, Steve Gooch, Chloe Harrison, and James McGough from Literati Press Comics and Novels. We talk about the history of the publishing house and bookstore, how they make decisions about publishing projects and the curation of their store, their commitment to Oklahoma storytelling and their role in the community, and some past, present, and future projects to check out.  You can find out more about Literati Press at literatipressok.com and @literatipress on social media.
