You can be a part of the growing story of CMA.
We have only few of the preview copies and we want as many of you to have this shared experience so we can only send one copy per group. Please do not ask for 5 or 10 copies. The final book will be published and available after the 2011 CMA World Conference.

Your CMA Story
The 2008 CMA Conference requires that the World CMA Literature Committee follow particular Guidelines. In following these Guidelines, CMA and/or CMAGSO may change, modify or revise this work to whatever extent either or both deem necessary. Please know that if selected for publication, your material may be edited in keeping with the 2008 Conference Literature Guidelines plus CMA's understanding of the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. Submissions may also be copyedited to ensure ease of comprehension and adherence to standard rules of grammar and punctuation as well as current CMA and CMAGSO style guidelines. In addition, editorial staff may also substitute different words and/or revise sentence structure for clarification. If you donate your written work, you must further understand that this material may be retitled and/or reprinted in more than one CMA or CMAGSO publication.
The literature committee is anxious to get your feedback on the first CMA book. The manuscript is still being edited; we hope the fellowship will review it and submit comments to CMA in the meantime. If possible, take a few months to do a "Book Study" meeting dedicated to reviewing the manuscript and then, taking a group conscious, fill out an online questionnaire. We suggest that the book be read in meetings a little bit at a time in a round robin format. One or two people should take notes and record how the group feels about a specific story or essay. You can request a copy of the book for use at a book study meeting HERE.

Also, the CMA World Services Literature Committee is looking for contributions of written material for our book. The material may be used for our next book. Please write either an essay about your step experience or a personal story similar to the ones found in the "Big Book" of Alcoholics Anonymous. Please keep your writing to a max of 4000 words. Other contributions of writing can be made also.
