COLUMBUS, Ohio - OhioPen -- APIF Collective for Authors

RhinoIsland Media is proud to unveil a new initiative designed specifically for U.S. based authors of business books: A no-cost, high-value community for professionals writing to educate, elevate, and inspire.

Known internally as the APIF Collective (for Authors, Publishers, Influencers, Founders), this growing movement is now live and accepting participation via its online home on Substack.

"This is not a gimmick and it's not a funnel," says the Community Lead and Marketing Practitioner Jeff 'SKI' Kinsey. "We built APIF to fill a glaring gap—one where smart, capable business minds get ignored by traditional publishing circles, and lost in the noise of AI-generated content farms."

Who It's For:

• Current authors with a published business book
• Aspiring authors currently writing or planning their first
• Founders, influencers, and consultants using books as marketing leverage
• 100% free to join—no hidden paywalls or entry fees
• Curated connections with real authors, not spammy forums
• Weekly insight drops covering publishing trends, marketing tactics, AI-assisted writing, and more
• Shared stage opportunities to amplify member voices via guest columns and podcast features

"The business book world is still dominated by big names and big publishers," says SKI. "But many of the most helpful books never make a splash—not because they aren't good, but because the author never had a stage. This community is that stage."
