The National Amateur Press Association, based in Columbus, OH, is the oldest Amateur Press group in the world. Since its inception in 1876, this organization has been dedicated to promoting Amateur Journalism as a hobby, bringing together writers, artists, editors, printers, and publishers to broaden their knowledge and improve their abilities in the craft. With monthly mailings of members' journals, annual conventions, and international hobbyist memberships, the National Amateur Press Association provides a platform for creative writing and talent of handset printing.
The association values the art of letterpress printing and encompasses all associated arts of writing, editing, publishing, and illustration. It recognizes the best work of each year through laureate awards in various categories, including poetry, fiction, history of Amateur Journalism, editorial comment, art, editing, and printing. The National Amateur Press Association is a non-profit organization that focuses on the words and their presentation, rather than the technology used, and encourages its members to engage in activities that enhance their skills and knowledge.
