About us

Vision Sports Publishing is the UK's leading independent sports book publisher.

We set up in 2003 to publish the kind of intelligent and innovative books that we, as massive sports fans, would like to read ourselves and we are extremely proud of our reputation as a publisher of high quality sports books.

In 2009 our official book on Wimbledon's Centre Court won the 'Best Illustrated Book' award at the National Sports Book Awards and in 2010 Henry Olonga's autobiography, Blood Sweat and Treason, was longlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year.

Committed always to high standards of writing, design and production, we have had numerous bestsellers and have been described by The Bookseller as "having a reputation for producing quality titles".

By 2010 we had sold more than 700,000 books.
