Bound Boutique Author and Vendor Application

Thank you for your interest in the Bound Boutique, a curated marketplace taking place during the very first Bound weekend in Missoula.

This weekend is about connection—connecting readers to the stories, people, and creative work that make Missoula and Montana so special. The Bound Boutique is designed to be an elegant, immersive, and deeply bookish experience that highlights the incredible talent in our local community.

Priority will be given to women and nonbinary makers from Montana whose work focuses on romance, books, and literary-adjacent goods. That said, we warmly welcome applications from all authors and vendors who feel aligned with the spirit of Bound. Because Montana is just a small town with local roads, all Montana applicants are considered local to us ❤️

Space for the boutique is limited. Our goal is to create the most elegant, luxurious, and cohesive bookish affair the gremlins have ever seen, so selections will be made thoughtfully with overall balance, quality, and experience in mind.

There will be a vendor entry fee, which will cover the cost of tables and linens. This allows us to keep the space visually uniform and of the highest quality for both vendors and attendees. Our goal is not to make money from the boutique, but rather to uplift, showcase, and celebrate local Montana artists and authors.

In addition to our Montana-based vendors and authors, we will be welcoming a select few special guest authors from out of state to round out our author panel and enhance the weekend experience.

Application deadline: February 12
Notification of acceptance/decline: By March 3

We can’t wait to be Bound with you. 🖤📚✨
