The APA's are judged in-house by a committee of affiliated members with the AP Network. These members typically include writers with a series in the running for an APA award, former network alumni*, and/or active members of our community. To ensure that the judging process remains fair and impartial, members are not allowed to vote for their own series.
* Note: The former network alumni must be a recognized alumni member at our community forums.

- Current Writing Projects: Aztec Springs
- AP Member Since: 2010
- Favorite APA '09 Moment: "Does it technically have to be a moment? How about a whole storyline? I loved ID and I'm a major Evan fan. I also love the Trenyce, Andy, and Reese storyline on ODaaT. WL has too many moments to list considering I'm a huge Jessica fan! Anything with Jessica and the mystery of Hannah unraveling was captivating! Too many good APN moments/storylines to mention."

- Favorite APA '09 Moment: "Definitely the commentary that resulted over the 2009 Outstanding Younger Male category. Fans were riled up when One Day at a Time's Andy received the award over his male scene partner, Reese Wilkins. The two characters ended up squaring off on stage, and one of the guests commented 'Andy is SO on the bottom again.' Hilarious."
