The APA Sourcebook uses the power of print and the APA brand to connect with Art Buyers, Art Producers, and Photo Editors. We believe that photographers should use as many different channels as possible to showcase their talent to potential buyers. The APA Sourcebook provides an additional opportunity to be seen by people who hire photographers.
We know that increasing your marketing effort will help drive business growth.
APA provides a full page to its Leader and Professional members at no charge.

Here are some quick answers to questions you may have:
- To qualify, you must be a Leader or Professional APA photographer member.
- You must still be a Leader or Professional APA member when the book is distributed (May 2019)
- You must own the copyright to the image
- APA maintains the right to not include any submission for any reason.
- Copies of the book are sent to people who hire photographers. Unfortunately, in order to keep costs down (since we are providing the page at no charge), we do not send a copy of the book to the photographers.
- The page template will provide the image area. We suggest using a vertical image for maximum coverage, but you may provide any size, shape image that fits in the image area.
