Linthorpe Publishing was formed in 2006 as a partnership between Alastair Brownlee and Gordon Cox.

Already with six titles of our own, and sole British distribution rights for the popular Megs series of children’s books, co-written by Australia national goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer, we also acted as consultants on the popular Three Legends book.

For 2008 we produced the first ever Middlesbrough Formers Player Association calendar and the company has quickly become the largest independent producer of local books in the country.

We have continued to expand with two new titles in the latter quarter of 2008 and we are committed to giving local authors a chance and are always looking for new projects and titles, either fact or fiction.
