ABOUT APS

APS was founded in 2013 with a mission to create opportunities for independent creators to be seen, heard, and celebrated. What began as a vision has grown into a platform that has supported authors through publishing, brought creators together through collaborative projects, and recognized excellence through annual award galas.

Through initiatives such as collective writing experiences and community-driven projects, APS has consistently created space for creatives to grow, connect, and build lasting impact.

This community is built on four core pillars:

• Marketing
• Networking
• Social Media
• Writing

Today, the creative community established through APS continues within the My Name is Toneal Empowerment and Media Network via its SAFE Talk membership, bringing independent singers, authors, filmmakers, and entrepreneurs together for connection, visibility, and growth.
