Both pathways provide professional publishing services. The difference is who serves as the publisher of record and manages the book’s publishing accounts and distribution.
APS PUBLISHING
APS Publishing serves as your publisher of record, managing the publication and distribution of your book through its publishing accounts. You retain copyright ownership of your original work, while APS manages publishing administration, distribution, and author-copy ordering under your publishing agreement.

Your completed book is prepared for publication under your own publishing identity and accounts. You retain copyright ownership, control of your publishing accounts, distribution decisions, and applicable royalties. APS provides professional publishing services without remaining your publisher of record.
