I recently checked out Broken Arrow Library South. While they don't currently have dedicated self-publishing workshops, they do offer resources that could be incredibly helpful for aspiring authors. The library provides access to writing guides, digital tools like Canva for cover design, and even occasional guest speaker events featuring local authors who share their publishing journeys.
I noticed they have a robust digital collection too, including e-books on indie publishing and marketing. Their librarians are super knowledgeable about community resources—they pointed me toward nearby writing groups and online platforms like Reedsy. If you're looking for hands-on guidance, it might be worth suggesting a workshop to their programming team!
From a community engagement perspective, Broken Arrow Library South takes a grassroots approach to supporting writers. While browsing their bulletin board, I found flyers for three nearby self-publishing meetups that use their meeting rooms—the '918 Writers Collective' even does monthly peer editing sessions there. The library's Maker Space includes equipment that could be repurposed for publishing projects, like high-quality scanners for converting handwritten drafts.
Their adult services coordinator mentioned they occasionally run 'Publishing 101' seminars during National Novel Writing Month. Though not a full workshop series, these sessions cover basics like manuscript formatting and ebook conversion. I was pleasantly surprised by their curated display of locally published works—seeing neighbors' books on the shelf made the whole process feel more accessible.
For hands-on learners, they offer one-on-one tech tutoring that could be used to navigate publishing platforms. Their subscription to LinkedIn Learning includes writing-related courses too, which I've found helpful for understanding the business side of self-publishing.
I dug deep into Broken Arrow Library South's offerings. Their focus seems more on general literacy programs than niche publishing workshops, but don't overlook their hidden gems. The library hosts quarterly 'Author Spotlights' where indie writers discuss their self-publishing experiences—I attended one where a romance novelist broke down her Kindle Direct Publishing process step by step.
Their tech lab has everything you'd need to prepare a manuscript, with free access to Grammarly and basic layout software. While there's no formal workshop series, I discovered they partner with Tulsa City-County Library for specialized events; last month they co-hosted a webinar on ISBN acquisition.
What impressed me most was their interlibrary loan system. Through it, I borrowed 'The Naked Author' about DIY publishing and 'Write. Publish. Repeat.'—both fantastic resources. The staff told me they're considering adding more creator-focused programming based on patron requests, so it's worth keeping an eye on their event calendar.

Submissive academy.
Where girls are shaped into perfect submissives and perfect housewives.
Except I don't want to be a submissive. I don't want a dominant.
Weeks go by where I don't choose a dominant. An 'extraordinary' situation, they call me. The untouchable. In the end, I am forced to take one. Well, one is forced upon me. The most sadistic of them all. One that hasn't taken a submissive for an entire year. He's just here to beat the submissiveness into me. To get me 'ready'.
The lines of pain and pleasure start to blur. For the first time in my life, someone is touching me. Someone owns me.
This is a dark romance.
Warning... or Invitation? That choice is yours.
This isn’t a fairytale.
This isn’t about sweet kisses beneath cherry blossoms or soft smiles under the stars.
No.
This is raw,
This is reckless,
This is “Burning Embers: Scorching Tales of Desire”
A collection of BL short stories carved from lust, laced with obsession, and kissed by chaos.
Each chapter stands on its own, a world where strangers become addictions, roommates cross lines, enemies blur into lovers, and the line between want and need snaps without warning.
These men don’t fall in love.
They fall into temptation.
They crash into each other like lightning against the sea, loud, unforgiving, and beautiful in their destruction.
You’ll find no gentle romance here.
Only the ache of fingertips brushing where they shouldn't, the weight of glances held too long, the gasp before the plunge.
This is for the ones who know love isn’t always tender.
That sometimes, the most unforgettable stories are the ones written in bruises and longing.
This is for those who crave stories that leave a mark, who don’t flinch when desire gets messy, when hearts bleed a little before they beat as one.
Not for the faint-hearted.
Not for the clean-handed.
This is for the bold, the brave, the ones who dare to touch the flame even if it burns.
So turn the page.
Step into the fire.
But don’t say I didn’t warn you---
Because once the embers catch, they never go out.
Rated 18+ | Extremely Explicit | Reader Discretion Strongly Advised
You're not just reading smut-you're stepping into fantasies too bold for real life. This collection delivers raw, unapologetic, toe-curling tales that dive headfirst into taboo temptation, dominant lovers, and scenes dripping with lust and power play.
Each chapter brings a new pair (or more 😉), new kinks, and wild scenarios-from forbidden office affairs to brat-taming bodyguards, hot professors, naughty neighbors, and secret hookups that should never happen... but do.
Some stories are told in third person. Others? You'll be the one getting pinned, spanked, or seduced-written in Y/N POV so you feel every sinful second.
So if you're into steamy, twisted, dirty-as-hell reads that don't shy away from the filthy stuff-this is your new obsession.
Let's be honest. You're not here for the plot. You're here to get ruined.
Warning: This book is soaked in desire, soaked in sin... and soaked in more.
Love is something to never be ashamed of, it's okay to fall in love even if that person is someone of the same sex.
That's the way I feel towards the person who showed me how to love.
I love him, I want him and I want to hold him but the problem is... His married.
Leslie Campbell is a young omega who is married to a beta. He is a book enthusiast who became an editor for a successful publishing company and he is assigned to his favorite author, Azrael Mitsuki Bethan, a Japanese American writer who paints the world in white and black.
However, there is one serious problem... Azrael hates omegas especially male omegas.
Leslie is determined to be Azrael's editor but their relationship becomes complicated when forbidden emotions start to develop leaving Leslie in a state to choose between his marriage and his soulmate while Azrael battles with his heart and his conscience.
Heartwarming relationship between the alpha who desires to hate and the omega who knows only how to love.
Fall in love with these hot first responders featuring friends to lovers, second chances, and suspense at every turn. The Laurel Springs Emergency Response Team is created by Laramie Briscoe, an eGlobal Creative Publishing Signed Author.
Some moments you plan for while most of the good ones, you don’t.
Sweet Surrender is a collection of stories about the moments right before everything changes. It’s a storm that leaves two strangers with nowhere to run, a work trip that blurs every line that was supposed to stay straight, a wedding where the wrong person says exactly the right thing.
These aren’t stories about perfect people making perfect choices. They’re a little guarded, a little stubborn to the point that whoever finds themselves in situations that make resisting feel pointless and surrender feel like the smartest and easiest thing they’ve ever done.
Come in and get comfortable. Don’t make plans for the rest of the evening.
I love digging into their catalog to see what’s new. From what I’ve noticed, they partner with a bunch of major publishers like Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, and Simon & Schuster. These publishers cover everything from bestsellers to niche genres, so there’s always something fresh on the shelves.
I also spotted quite a few titles from smaller but awesome imprints like Tor for sci-fi and fantasy, and Kensington for romance. The library does a great job balancing big names with indie publishers, which means you get a mix of popular hits and hidden gems. If you’re into manga or graphic novels, Viz Media and Dark Horse are also in the mix, which is perfect for fans like me.
I recently stumbled upon an event at the Metropolitan Library System in Oklahoma and was pleasantly surprised by how active they are in hosting author events. They frequently bring in novel writers for book signings, readings, and discussions, which is fantastic for local book lovers. I attended one last month featuring a debut author who wrote a gripping mystery novel, and the Q&A session was incredibly engaging. The library also collaborates with local bookstores and literary organizations to diversify their events. If you’re in Oklahoma and love meeting authors, their calendar is worth checking out—they even host virtual events for those who can’t attend in person.
