William’s first book, Dying for a Change, is a gut-wrenching, inspirational true story of his fight to survive hypothermia and drowning in the freezing cold waters off the coast of Britain.

It is the riveting story of survival that will captivate readers with a compelling, life-changing message about miracles and the power of choice. Read more...


In 2006, we launched an exciting initiative by sending out invitations (see right) to over 500 change-makers and visionaries; asking each to submit a positive ‘Vision Statement’ of hope.

The core purpose of this project was to bring together the eclectic feelings and wisdom of global pioneers from across the social justice movement, the environmental sector, ‘new economics’ and those teachers at the forefront of the change movement. Inspirers such as, Jane Goodall, Susan Jeffers, Bill Drayton & Alice Walker.
To date, we have received back over 400 submissions, and these short messages of hope will form the foundation to a published book:

‘Visionaries for the 21st Century- 100 Words to Help inspire the World.’

We also have planned a follow up publication, ‘Young Visionaries...’ which will feature the insightful thoughts of worldwide luminaries aged between 15 and 30.

The Imagination Project is a non-profit (501) organization, set up with the intention of identifying, assisting and supporting inspiring young writers and filmmakers from around the world.

We fund luminaries who are focusing their work on some of the most critical issues of our time, including social justice, peace resolution, personal growth, change and environmental sustainability. Read more...


We asked several hundred of the world’s most recognisable leaders, luminaries and pioneers of change, this simple question:

‘Given the state of the world today, what would be your positive thoughts and feelings be for the future?’

Put another way, ‘Tell us in around 100 words, what your vision would be so that we can move closer towards a safer, more just and sustainable world?
