Frequently Asked Questions
Each year we strive to create a special work titled Successful People – a collection of authentic stories and inspiration from individuals who make an impact in their profession and society. Our editorial team visits the entire country to personally record important moments in the lives of those who motivate others through their journey.
When will the encyclopedia be published?
Distribution takes place in October - December. The editorial team works on the content throughout the year and the publication deadline is always in the middle of the year in question.
Will individuals receive their biography text for review before it is published in the encyclopedia?
Yes, biographies in the encyclopedia go through a verification process, and individuals have the option to update their biography online or through communication with the editorial service.
How is the encyclopedia funded?
The encyclopedia does not contain advertisements and is not supported by any institution or cultural-historical fund. Its continued existence is financed through the production and sale of publications and services, which allows it to remain independent.
Where can I view the encyclopedia?
We supply the encyclopedia to important libraries in Singapore. An updated list is available on this website. It is produced based on personal requests or requests from business partners and institutions.
How are interviews conducted?
The basis of our work is authentic conversation between our editors and individuals included in the encyclopedia. The method of meeting can be arranged individually. However, we are very flexible and meetings can also be held via video or phone calls. We prioritize personal meetings, which complement the atmosphere of our work.
How extensive is this encyclopedia?
Since a completely new encyclopedia is created each year, the number of pages also varies each year. It typically ranges between 1300-1400 pages. The number of pages is influenced by the length of biographies and binding technology possibilities.
Why was I contacted?
The reason for inclusion is very individual for each person contacted. The word personality in English often evokes a very narrow group of people. In our context, this word has a broader scope. The editorial team contacts people with interesting life stories, experiences that we consider inspiring for the public and can be a source of motivation and personal growth.
The quality of the encyclopedia is our priority, and therefore we produce it at a printing house with a tradition of production of more than 460 years. This long history and experience ensures that each edition of our encyclopedia meets the highest standards of quality and accuracy, so that we can offer you the best.
Contact person
If you have been contacted, a contact person from our editorial team will be able to explain the reason for inclusion. The personality encyclopedia does not only focus on people known to the media (although undoubtedly some people known to the media are included in it). This work preserves profound life experiences, wisdom and its purpose is to leave a legacy for future generations and also serve as a family memory. For those whose peak of life is still waiting, it can be a source of personal motivation.
