We gathered at Readings bookstore St Kilda for an afternoon of insight, reflection and celebration with renowned clinical psychologist and author Andrew Fuller.
The event marked a significant milestone in our publishing journey. When Andrew Fuller joined the Amba Press family early in 2024, bringing his entire collection of influential titles, it began what has become an extraordinary year of publishing. In just twelve months, we've published seven editions of Andrew's works, including two brand new titles, five updated and revised editions and our first-ever audiobook. With more exciting projects already in development for 2025, this partnership continues to grow.
A Year of Achievement
The afternoon opened with a reflection on this remarkable year of collaboration. None of this would have been possible without our dedicated team - Tess's striking cover designs, Kerry's meticulous typesetting and our editorial team's commitment to excellence have all played crucial roles in bringing Andrew's wisdom to readers in fresh, accessible ways.
Insights from the Conversation
During our discussion, Andrew shared fascinating perspectives on various topics, including:
- How he uses his clinical psychology experiences to author books
- The inspiration behind the popular 'Tricky' trilogy
- His thoughts on the concept of inner genius in children
- The interconnection between classroom dynamics and family relationships
- The difficulty many of us have in navigating tricky conversations
- Contemporary challenges like cancel culture and bullying, and its impact on young people
Community Celebration
Beyond the formal discussion, the event served as a celebration of our entire publishing community. It was heartening to see so many familiar faces and welcome new ones to the Amba Press family.
The afternoon was catered by All Things Equal, and we're especially grateful to Readings for their unwavering support of independent Australian publishing throughout 2024.
The success of this event reinforces what lies at the heart of Amba Press: our commitment to fostering meaningful conversations about education, human connection and books.
