ANZAPA

The Australian and New Zealand Amateur Publishing Association (or Australian and New Zealand Amateur Press Association) is a bi-monthly APA for, but not limited to, Australian and New Zealand fans.

It was started by Leigh Edmonds. It began in October 1968 as APA-A, but was renamed ANZAPA in February 1969. Its early history is recounted in John Bangsund's Anzapa Book. It was still active in 2021, but went electronic at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The current official bloody editor, or OBE, of ANZAPA is David Grigg. Previous OBEs have included Derek Ashby, Leigh Edmonds, John Foyster, Carey Handfield, Gary Mason, Marc Ortlieb, Alan Stewart, Jean Weber, and Bruce Gillespie.
