AM Publishing Collective began with a simple idea: good ideas shouldn't end with a single conversation, event, classroom, or workplace. When ideas really resonate, they stay with us. They change how we approach our work, our relationships, or the way we see ourselves. Those are the ideas we publish.
We publish books, workbooks, journals, planners, and thoughtfully designed resources that help people learn, reflect, solve problems, and sometimes simply enjoy a good story.
We chose the name Collective because people grow from experiences, perspectives they encounter, and people who leave a lasting mark on us. Some of us learn life lessons through fiction. Others learn best over coffee with a friend. —And then there are those of us who spend years learning—and practicing—the nitty-gritty of becoming ourselves in the wild laboratory that is the workplace.
Whether the next helpful thing is a book, a journal, a management tool, or a simple reminder to pause and reflect, our goal is always the same: to create something practical that people will use every day. It should feel good in their hand, organize their thinking, and be nice to look at.
So every project begins with one simple question:
"What's the next helpful thing this person needs?"
Meet the Founding Author
Susan Rath founded AM Publishing Collective because she wanted to reach more people than one classroom, organization, or conversation ever could.
Susan has spent her career teaching, leading, consulting, and writing. She began as a retail manager before teaching psychology at the university level and serving in executive leadership for more than 20 years, including as a Chief Operating Officer.
Along the way, she has worked with organizations across healthcare, professional services, and other industries in both the for-profit and not-for-profit sectors. Those experiences continue to shape the questions she asks and the resources she creates.
Susan lives in northern Colorado with Molly, her oversized Standard Poodle. Together they enjoy hiking, camping, skiing, and exploring dirt roads—just to see where they go. She believes taking care of the planet is simply part of being a good neighbor—and drives a Mustang EV because doing the right thing doesn't have to mean giving up a good ride.
