who we are

Road books was created in 1992 by writer Judy Kravis and artist Peter Morgan after a road trip from Ireland to Italy (if in doubt, drive south). Road Books and its imprints, Boreen Books, Highway Books and Byways Productions, are produced in Inniscarra, County Cork, alongside planting trees and tending bees (if in doubt, stay at home). Editions range from one to several hundred, both handmade and commercially printed.

Many of the books are collaborations between Judy Kravis and Peter Morgan, who conceive and create the form and design of each book. The book is an open forum of collaboration. Within a pair of covers, words and pictures co-exist and intermingle, like their makers.

Judy Kravis writes diaries, fiction and poetry, and interviews the dead as well as the living.
Peter Morgan works with photography, text, collage, and 3-D objects.
