How to Submit a Listing

First, you will need to register. You will enter your username and email.

When registering, you will receive an activation email titled “[Kink and Poly Aware Professionals] Login Details.” Be sure to check your spam if you don’t see it in your email within 60 minutes-though this email typically comes in just a few minutes.

This email will include a link to set your password. Once you do that, you need to login with the username and password you created. This will first take you to your profile. Fill out your profile information. The more information you include, the easier it is to reset your password or troubleshoot listing information. You can also upload a profile picture.

Next you want to navigate back to the page to submit a listing or click the Submit a Listing button at the top of the KAP site: https://www.kapprofessionals.org/submit-a-listing/
