At Bound by Kay, our cozy little bookstore nestled in the heart of Arkansas, we’ve always believed that every book has a story, and every author has a journey. There’s something uniquely special about supporting local authors—those talented writers who live, work, and create right here in our community.

“Every story has a soul, and local authors bring the heart of our community to life with their words. At Bound by Kay, we’re proud to be a part of their journey.”

When you pick up a book written by a local author, you’re not just buying a story; you’re investing in the creative spirit of your neighbors. These writers weave tales inspired by the same landscapes, experiences, and shared culture that shape our lives. Their words often carry a deep connection to our community, making their stories resonate in ways that feel personal and meaningful.

Supporting local authors also helps to foster a thriving literary culture in Arkansas. It encourages more aspiring writers to pursue their dreams, knowing that there’s an audience right here at home that values and uplifts their work. Each purchase, recommendation, or review contributes to a ripple effect—helping these authors gain the recognition they deserve and opening doors to wider opportunities.

But it’s not just about the authors; it’s about you, the reader. There’s an unparalleled sense of pride and connection when you discover a new favorite book penned by someone who might live just down the road. Attending local book signings, author readings, or book clubs with local authors adds a layer of intimacy to the reading experience that’s hard to replicate elsewhere.

At Bound by Kay, we’re committed to showcasing the incredible talent in our community. Our shelves are stocked with works from Arkansas authors who pour their hearts into every page. By choosing to support them, you’re not only enriching your own reading journey but also contributing to the tapestry of storytelling that makes Arkansas such a vibrant place to live.
