Diversity & Inclusion

Durvile & UpRoute Books stands in solidarity with and in defence of those who suffer under systemic racism and bigotry. Through education, empathy, and engagement with one another and our natural surroundings we can make change. Our publishing program attempts to reflect the breadth and scope of our community and we will continue to do our best.

We continue to do everything we can to publish, and promote work by Indigenous people, people of colour, and members of the LGBTQ2S+ community relating to our areas of interest. We are committed to providing a platform for diverse voices.
