The AAPA encourages members to create and publish on our site as well as circulating printed content in the monthly bundle. As part of this effort we are now accepting submissions.
You could write about a local news article, a story from your life, a short story, a poem, or some other subject.
You can also publish an E- Journal. Most journals are in PDF format, while some are .doc or html files. File size must be less than 2 MB.
Send your submissions into the AAPA at Stories. We will get it posted as soon as possible.

Amateur journalism is a unique activity. Amateur journalists publish journals on paper & online & come from many perspectives: from deluxe letterpress printed journals, to Xeroxed newsletters, to artistically designed cards and ephemera.
