Meet The Members of the
Authors & Publishers Association

NOTE: You can't be listed here if you're not a member! Click here for information on how to join the APA.

ADDENDUM (November 2008): Please note also that this membership list may not be up to date. We are in the process of revamping our organization and beginning new membership initiatives (and, yes, we will eventually update the web site design as well!). If you see the name of anyone here whom you know NOT to be a member, please notify Webmaster at moonshad@swbell.net.

Cut to the chase...the listings.

Welcome to the new consolidated APA Members' List page. This page replaces the separate "Members' Books", "Members' Services" and "Members' Websites" pages. As you will see when you scan this list, we have a diverse group of...

• Authors who have written books on a variety of subjects, both fiction and nonfiction.
• Service providers for authors -- including ghostwriters, editors, illustrators, book cover designers, book interior designers, print brokers, and more.
• Marketing and promotions experts to help you make your book or business a success.

So whether you're looking for a good book to read during your vacation...a good editor to help you finish your own book...or a marketing guru to help you take it to the "next level"...take a look at what our members have to offer. And if you're an APA member who wants to toot your own horn, here's the place to do it.

However, you have to give us a little assistance. While having your listing on this page is one of the benefits of APA membership, joining the APA will not automatically get your description and URL here. Detailed listings are strictly on an "opt-in" basis. Please send your name, website URL if applicable and a brief description (100 words or less) of your book(s) and/or other products or services, to: info@authorsandservices.org.
Subject line: Member listing
Note: We can only list one website URL per member. If you do not have a website but do have an email address we will list that at your request.

We look forward to seeing your name here!
