Writing Workshops for A.A.’s New Pamphlets
2026-03-07 14:00 - 15:30 | Zoom
Following two Advisory Actions of the 74th General Service Conference (2024), the trustees’ Literature Committee of Alcoholics Anonymous has opened calls for stories for two pamphlets: “A pamphlet on the Asian and Asian American alcoholic” and “A pamphlet on the transgender alcoholic”.
To support A.A. members in the U.S. and Canada who identify as transgender, gender-diverse, or Two-Spirit, and those with ethnic or cultural ties to Asia, working groups of the trustees’ Literature Committee – composed of members from these respective communities – are hosting virtual writing workshops (see schedule below). These sessions offer ideas, practical help, and Q&A on writing and submitting stories for the pamphlets, and are open to anyone who wishes to write their own story, help others in the community to write, or help carry the message about the call for stories.
Area Delegates are invited to share this information widely within their Areas and with local service entities (Intergroups/Central Offices, Literature/Accessibilities/Remote Communities committees, YPAA committees, etc.). Service entities interested in hosting their own workshop with support from working group members may contact:
literature@aa.org
Schedule of Virtual Workshops is as follows (all workshops will be identical):

Sunday, January 25th, 3 PM PST/6 PM EST
Monday, February 16th (President’s Day) 4 PM PST/7 PM EST
