Silk Route Publishing is an independent publishing house founded by the journalist and author Abdullah Jan, dedicated to producing high-quality books across a range of genres.

The house publishes nonfiction that connects history, geopolitics, culture, and personal experience — books written to go beyond the headlines, to the people, places, and events that shape the region and the wider world.

Its catalogue is built on the same principle that shaped three decades of reporting: patient work, close to the ground, in places the rest of the world tends to read about only after something has gone wrong.
