Sharing stories that capture the imagination and inspire readers
At Mount Vernon Publishing Group, we are a small independent publishing house with a passion for producing high-quality sport books. Our story began in 2023 with the launch of three imprints: Mount Vernon, Toffeeopolis, and deCoubertin Books.
Mount Vernon Publishing
Mount Vernon Publishing was established in Liverpool in 2023 to publish outstanding non-fiction books with a focus on sport and the city of Liverpool. The imprint takes its name from the Mount Vernon Parade Ground, which was the site of the "Grand Olympic Festivals" in the 1860s, a precursor to the modern Olympics. Our mission is to publish books with the highest production values, while also honoring the history and culture of Liverpool.
Toffeeopolis
Toffeeopolis is a new imprint founded in 2023 by four well-known Everton writers. Their mission is to create great books that celebrate the culture, history, and magic of Everton FC. As a cooperative, Toffeeopolis manages the publishing rights of some of the biggest names in Everton history, including the club's most successful manager, Howard Kendall, and its greatest living player, Neville Southall.
deCoubertin Books
deCoubertin Books was founded in 2009 and has published around 100 titles by a distinguished community of international athletes, managers, and media. As a publishing imprint, deCoubertin Books focuses on producing books that showcase the achievements and experiences of athletes and sports professionals. With a collective 431 international caps, 20 English league titles, 11 FA Cups, 5 European Cups, 2 World Cup wins, and numerous other accolades, deCoubertin authors are a diverse and esteemed group of individuals who have made significant contributions to the world of sport.
