Grassroutes

The project surveys high-quality transcultural writing by Leicestershire-based writers from 1980 to the present. It fosters local, national and international appreciation – as well as critical recognition - for this writing.

Grassroutes supports the efforts of independent publishers and literature development agencies to inspire public engagement with the diverse writing cultures of multi-racial Britain.

The Writers' Gallery

The Writers’ Gallery was edited by Corinne Fowler. It showcases the work of Leicestershire-based authors and is co-hosted by our Grassroutes partner organisations. The aim of the Gallery is to expose an international online community of writers and e-readers to transcultural writing from the region.
