About Route
Route is a terraced publishing house in the north of England that publishes novels, short stories, cultural non-fiction and performance poetry titles. Its author list is an eclectic mix that includes Nobel laureates and first time writers, music superstars and warehouse operatives. Route’s principal commitment is to authentic stories and good books. Route publishes stories in print, audio and digital forms, creating books one way or another.
"The sharpest, on the button writing you’ll read all year. Route could soon start taking on a Samizdat level of importance as it quietly ushers in the beginnings of a much needed literary renaissance."
The Big Issue
"The most interesting and vibrant publishing house around today."
Nottingham Evening Post
"Now we rely on small independent publishers such as Route, often based outside London, to support authors such as Michael Nath. Two or three decades ago, a novel this unusual would not have seemed out of place on, say, Picador’s list."
Nicolas Royle, The Independent
