About Us
Our Mission
In creating IziMarkPublishing©, Mark's vision and mission was to create a supportive platform for writers, providing them with the opportunity to share their creativity, local knowledge and experience. In this light, IziMarkPublishing endeavours to be open and accepting of all cultures, genders, religions, and ethnicities. This vision includes supporting the empowerment of women authors by providing opportunity to those who share this vision of unity through sharing their words. The Time To Travel Series©, for example, is authored by local female writers who provide personal perspectives from their topic country. IziMarkPublishing© aims to offer quality books in all genres and to share authors' words with the world.
founder
Mark Joseph Tyhurst
Mark was born July 1, 1997 in Ottawa. Mark founded IziMarkPublishing© in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic. He applied his energy and imagination to recruiting dozens of authors from around the world who shared his vision (see above). He provided the motivation and positive energy for many authors who have now published their first books. Tragically, Mark passed away in late 2024. He is sorely missed by his friends and family, his authors, and all those whose lives he touched.
Mark graduated as a bilingual Ontario scholar from Ashbury College in Ottawa. He attended the University of Waterloo studying Applied Health Sciences majoring in sports management. Mark was a gifted athlete and tennis coach, winning many tournaments and playing tennis at provincial championships and for the Waterloo University tennis team.
The video linked below from an interview with one of Mark's author's speaks to how he changed and improved others' lives with his energy and enthusiasm.
