Considering AAPA Membership

Write, publish, exchange hobby journals -- join the American Amateur Press Association!

AAPA is united by an interest in sharing ideas and designs through printed journals or artistically designed cards and ephemera. Our members create amateur journals and mail 130 copies to our Official Mailer, who then stuffs the monthly “bundle” and sends it to the membership. Annual dues of $25 cover mailing costs and production of our publication The American Amateur Journalist.

Founded in 1936 by young writers, printers, and publishers, today we are a diverse group using a variety of  technology, from letterpress printing to computers.
