After my undergraduate degree, I want to go onto further study and I thought getting my work published in Routes would be a great stepping stone. Exeter’s Geography staff are incredible and have inspired me to produce work I am proud of. The peer-reviewing process has strengthened my writing and developed my interests through receiving constructive feedback from other geographers.

I wrote for Routes because I thought it would be great opportunity to further develop my interests in geography, as it allowed me to have a platform for an in-depth exploration of a topic I thoroughly enjoy! The process of writing was highly rewarding, as the incredibly helpful peer-reviewers came up with nuanced ways for me to improve my argument and develop my thinking in broader contexts. If you are considering writing an article for Routes, then I can say that it is certainly worth doing — it is a thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding process!
