Formed in 1986, the Audio Publishers Association (APA) is a not-for-profit trade association that advocates the common, collective business interests of audio publishers. The APA consists of audio publishing companies and suppliers, distributors, and retailers of spoken word products and allied fields related to the production, distribution, and sale of audiobooks. Members of the APA work together to increase public awareness for the audiobook industry by engaging in advocacy, events, networking, publicity efforts, and national consumer surveys.
