About Us

The Amazing People Club® was founded in 2006 by psychologist and management leader Dr Charles Margerison. We are an international digitally-based publishing company. Hachette Book Group (HBG), a leading trade publisher based in New York and a division of Hachette Livre, distribute our products.

We publish inspirational books and audio titles about some of the world’s most amazing people. Dr Margerison has visited the cities and towns where people like Leonardo da Vinci, Shakespeare, Curie, Mozart, Michelangelo, Darwin, Einstein and others made their great contributions. In doing so, he has recreated the life stories of these amazing individuals as though they were giving personal interviews.

The books and audios bring readers ‘face to face’ with many of the world’s most inspiring and influential characters from the fields of art, science, music, politics, medicine and business. In addition, the Amazing Cities range offers unique ‘city tours‘ of cities including London, Paris, New York and Sydney where amazing people who lived in these cities become your personal historical tour guide.

All the stories in the series are revealed through BioViews®; a newly-developed concept in storytelling that combines biography with virtual interview. The lives of amazing people can be explored through their achievements, challenges and experiences in a very personal way. The unique format and flow enables each person’s story to come alive, as if it is being personally told to you, reflecting their interests, emotions and passions. These are inspirational stories that can help you achieve your ambitions in your journey through life.

Our mission is to provide stories that will inspire, educate and entertain. We offer exclusive free products and special offers to our members on a monthly basis – please Join the Club if you are not already a member. We’re very aware that there are so many amazing stories unfurling every day and are keen to hear from people who would like to share their story.

Thanks, The Amazing People Club Team
