Amberley Publishing
Around 3,000 titles fill the Amberley Publishing catalogue, each one drawn from non-fiction transport and history. The firm opened in Stroud, England, in 2008. Nick Hayward, who leads the firm as chief executive, came to the role after working at AudioGo and Simon & Schuster. The partnerships Amberley has since formed tell as much about its direction as any single title in its catalogue.
Amberley's "Through Time" series brings together colour local history books, each volume focused on a specific place and its past. The firm also sponsors the National History Book Competition. In 2016, Amberley announced a partnership with Yad Vashem Publications.
That collaboration with Yad Vashem Publications had a defined aim: to bring titles about the Holocaust to readers in the United Kingdom. Two years after the announcement, in 2018, the partnership produced Women's Experiences in the Holocaust by Agnes Grunwald-Spier. The book was launched at the Wiener Library for the Study of the Holocaust and Genocide in London. That launch placed Amberley's Holocaust programme in an institution dedicated entirely to the study of that history.
