An amateur press association (APA) is a form of fanzine publishing.

An APA has a restricted number of members, and each member produces their own fanzine which is forwarded to a central compiler.

The compiler gathers up the contributed fanzines into mailings. (A mailing contains one copy of each contribution.) A mailing is then sent out to everyone in the APA.
