Have
we left you out?
If you are an APA member and
provide a service or services in any way related to
writing, publishing, graphic design, or book production,
why not list your services here? Send your listing(s) to info@authorsandpublishers.org (subject
line: Member Services). Be sure to
include the name of your company, contact information,
and a brief description of your service(s). (And by the
way, don't worry if you don't see your service category
listed below; this listing is a work in progress, and
we'll add categories as we receive relevant listings. So
if you're an APA member and you're, say, a screenwriter,
or you own a service bureau, fulfillment house or a
mailing service, don't hesitate to send us your listing!)
You may have a separate listing in
up to four different categories; listings are subject to
editing for length and style consistency. And
please note: if your link formerly appeared on this page,
but no longer does, it's because you haven't renewed your
membership. Once you do, we'll put your link(s) back up.
Thanks for joining, or re-joining, APA!
