About

The My Given Name books and personalised products are the brainchild of Kevin Tyler who had a varied and successful career in design and print before turning his hand to the book publishing industry. “I didn’t want to create just another personalised kids’ book that simply overlays a child’s name. I wanted truly engaging stories, magical characters and something that can have a real positive influence on children. My books are already setting new standards in personalisation, as well as creating a bundle of joy around the world! I love creating books and I am truly lucky to have a career I love. I hope that love shows in the quality of the finished books!”

MGN Limited has now grown into a family business with Kevin’s son, Tom, now looking after key UK partnerships, which include major gift retailers. More than twenty successful books have now been launched including the best selling My Book of Nursery Rhymes and the popular Daddy, ‘because of you’ and now ‘if not for you‘ series. MGN ship books all over the world to more than 32 countries. Look out for the next best selling book coming soon – you can be sure it is already being planned…

For talented Illustrators and Book Creators

As the creator of My Given Name Books I know just how hard it is to get your work published and out on sale. I remember sitting alone, night after night, in my little home study, some ten years ago now, working on an idea for my first book. It was moderately successful in the end, but oh what a struggle! I am proud to say I have sold many millions of pounds worth of books since then and feel fortunate to be in a place to help other talented writers and illustrators. Perhaps those of you who have great ideas, but no where to turn for publishing.

Do you have an idea for a book, or perhaps a current completed book, and no real route to market? We may include your book in our range if we like it. We pay up front fees and royalties per copy for the right book. You get to exploit all our current routes to market (some of the biggest and best personalised gift sites and book sellers in the world) and we regularly top the best selling book lists in multiple storefronts.

If you would like to be discuss the opportunity then please contact me directly at info@mygivenname.com to set-up an initial introduction.

What our clients say about us

  • This book was absolutely beautiful, much better than I expected it to be. Such amazing quality and much more stories and poems than I thought there would be. I also contacted the company because I was worried about the delivery time. They took my order number and other details and to my surprise it arrived two days later. Excellent service.

  • This actually made me cry it’s so perfect, such a thoughtful and subtle way of putting the personalised touch to the book, hidden in the pages, I really like the option to choose the number of parents in the personalisation, so well thought out, you are genius!
    A to Z Wonderful things book - Emma, Tring - March 2018
