Voce Books

Voce Books is an independent bookshop in Birmingham, founded in November 2022 by Clive Judd and Maria Lomunno Judd, and located at The Warehouse in Digbeth. 

We focus on the vibrant and boundary-breaking independent publishing scene, the site of some of the most eclectic and future-focused writing. We stock fiction, translations, poetry, the most interesting titles on culture and politics, magazines, zines & a little bit of art. We also host a year-round programme of events with a keen focus on West Midlands writing and world fiction.

'...a temple to independent publishing...'- The Guardian

We believe that the best books have their own unique character, their own specific and distinctive voice, hence our name, Voce: the Italian word for voice. With carefully curated shelves categorised by individual publisher and two experienced booksellers dedicated to recommending books that showcase the true breadth and diversity of the independent publishing landscape both at home and across the world, Voce Books is an entirely contemporary and inclusive book space, inspired by the new, the unusual and the unexpected.

Voce Books was voted one of the UK's best independent bookshops by the Times in 2024.
