Subject: Can a non-A.A. member submit an article for The Grapevine?

Good day,

I just came back from the 60th General Service Conference in
New-York (well, Port Westchester in the State of NY this year).

Since I was only a translator and not a delegate, I heard everything,
but was not able to go to the microphone. I heard things which
made my ears itch, even though I'm not a member of A.A.

Anyway, if ever it's possible for a non-A.A. member to submit an
article for The Grapevine, I hereby submit mine! It is attached,
in MS-Word format.

If it's not possible, well, at least help ease my pain by passing
copies of this text to your coworkers! I'm not in A.A., so I
don't need to remain anonymous, and moreover I love feedback.

Actually, I'd love to have some kind of public debate over the
Internet about the topic of my article. (Of course, I would hide
the names of any A.A. members who would want to participate.)

Thanks,

Stefan Jetchick

Thank you for your submission.  We read every article we get very
carefully, so it takes 6 to 8 weeks before we'll get back to you with
a decision.  In the meantime, please know how much we appreciate your
contribution and this service to AA.  Thanks for your patience!

The AA Grapevine Editorial Assistant

Subject: Sober Truths On A.A.'s God

Good day,

>> We read every article we get very carefully, so it takes 6 to 8
>> weeks before we'll get back to you with a decision.

No rush.

Actually, I've already received feedback from "La Vigne A.A." in
Quebec (I sent them the French translation at the same time I sent
you the English version). The Editor (Pierre V.) made me realize
some things might be misunderstood in my article, so I changed
the conclusion a bit, and added a "Post-scriptum". (I don't
consider this Post-scriptum essential, but it might help the
Grapevine staff understand what I'm trying to say.)

Could you delete the old version, and use this new version instead?

Also, could you forward it to Ms. Dorothy H.? She was at the
Conference and will probably remember me. Since my article talks
about a very sensitive topic, it might be better if "the boss"
had a look at it. Maybe she can help me keep my foot out of my
mouth! :-)

Thanks again,

Stefan Jetchick

Thank you for your e-mail submission to the AA Grapevine.  While I
don't think we'll be using it, we are grateful for your interest in
the magazine and hope you'll feel free to send us more material in
the future. As you can imagine, we receive hundreds of manuscripts
every month and many good manuscripts must be turned down because of
space limitations. For more information about the Grapevine, its
related items, including subscription information, guidelines for
submitting articles, and current Calls for Articles, please see our
Website: www.aagrapevine.org.

Best wishes,
The Editors
