The MA Literature Committee Seeks Submissions

The MA Literature Committee has various ongoing projects including the development of new pamphlets and a book of member stories. We encourage stories of varying lengths as your stories may be used in a variety of MA publications, including A New Leaf, our monthly creative publication.

Let Us Share Your Story of Marijuana Addiction Recovery

When writing your story, we ask that you consider a ratio to your writing; 1/3 what it was like, 1/3 what happened, and 1/3 what it is like now. This structure sets a framework that begins with your addiction, what led you to finding recovery, and how recovery is changing your life.

Suggested length of your story is dependent on the project you would like it to be used for. You can submit multiple versions if you’d like:

• for purposes of the member stories book –  we suggest between 500-4,000 words
• for purposes of the member stories pamphlets – we suggest between 100-300 words
• additionally, there is A New Leaf, the MA creative publication – for more information see: ANLP12.org/Content

Please use the form below for any submissions to the Literature Committee, including for use in pamphlets and the book project.
