Chapter One Bookstore is Ketchum's home for literary conversation. We host author readings, book signings, launch parties, and community events throughout the year — bringing writers and readers together in the heart of downtown Ketchum, Idaho. As the official recommended bookstore of the Sun Valley Writers' Conference, we stock SVWC author books year-round and partner on events that bring celebrated writers to the Wood River Valley.

We proudly partner with our community, including with the Community Library, Hemingway Festival, Sun Valley Writers Conference, Sun Valley Museum of Art, Wood River Land Trust, Far & Wise, The Women's Conference & Wellness Festival for author events and more. Upcoming events will be listed here as they are confirmed — follow us @ketchumbookstore on Instagram and Facebook for the latest.
