Because sometimes, clarity is a kind of comfort.
Not at all. We welcome your truth in whatever form it takes—bullet points, journal entries, scattered thoughts. Just give us the bare bones. We’ll give it voice.
Never. Every story is told in the collective voice of The Anywoman Collective®, preserving complete anonymity. We do not collect or publish names.
Yes. The only reason we ask for an email is to notify you if your story is selected. Your email is never shared, sold, or published. We encourage you to use any of the available ‘hide my email’ applications widely available to keep your identity secure.
If your story is selected, we’ll shape it into a lyrical, symbolic narrative and notify you when it’s published. You may also choose to purchase an Echo Edition—a longer, keepsake version of your story with original artwork.
No. Submissions are not paid or compensated. What you share is considered a gift to the Collective. While we may offer paid products—like Echo Editions or future printed collections—this revenue helps us sustain the space and share more women’s stories. Your contribution is part of a larger circle of storytelling and healing.
By checking the consent box, you agree to:
• Let The Anywoman Collective gently reshape your submission into a lyrical, anonymous narrative
• Allow us to publish your story—on our blog or in future print or digital collections
• Understand that artistic license may be used to symbolically revoice your story for deeper emotional resonance
You retain full rights to your original submission.
The version we create becomes a new, original interpretation—an expression of your truth held and shaped by us.
The Anywoman Collective® retains full copyright to the reworked version. It may not be republished elsewhere, but you’re welcome to share a link to its published form or your personal keepsake edition.
• Whisper Version (Free): A softly shaped, anonymous version published on our blog
• Echo Edition (Paid): A longer, more immersive retelling with symbolic artwork, offered as a downloadable PDF or a printed keepsake set
Yes. You can share a story for someone you love—perhaps your mother, sister, or friend—and gift them an Echo Edition as a tribute to their journey.
No. Submissions are entrusted to the Collective, with the understanding that they may be reimagined through a symbolic, lyrical lens. If that doesn’t feel right to you, simply do not check the consent box at the time of submission.
Absolutely. Many women carry more than one truth. Submit as often as you feel called.
While we honor a wide range of experiences, we may gently decline stories that:
This is a space for sacred truth. We ask that what you offer is your own lived experience, shared from the heart.
This space is built on trust. Here’s what you can expect from us—and what we ask in return.
• We do not collect or publish names.
• Your story is published in the voice of The Anywoman—a shared, anonymous voice.
• Your email is only used to notify you if your submission is selected. It is never published or shared.
By checking the consent box in the submission form, you agree to:
• Allow The Anywoman Collective to gently reshape your submission into a symbolic, lyrical narrative
• Permit us to publish your story, in part or whole, anonymously
• Accept that we may use artistic license—symbolism, structure, tone—to honor your experience through poetic storytelling
You may always opt out by leaving the consent box unchecked.
• You retain full copyright to your original submission.
• The adapted version created by The Anywoman Collective is a transformative, original work that remains the intellectual property of the Collective.
• The adapted version may not be reposted or republished elsewhere. However, you may share links to the published version or your personal Echo Edition keepsake.
• We reserve the right to include published stories in future digital or print collections—always anonymously.
• Submissions are not paid or compensated.
• We may offer paid products based on adapted stories (such as Echo Editions or anthology collections) to help sustain the project and reach more voices.
• By submitting, you acknowledge that your contribution is a creative offering, not a commercial agreement.
We may gently decline submissions that:
• Include names or identifying information
• Contain hate speech, graphic violence, or exploitation
• Are submitted without a clear emotional or narrative core
By submitting, you affirm that your story is your own lived experience.
