About Unsaid at UW
Some things are easier to say when no one knows your name.
Unsaid at UW is an unofficial space for the University of Washington community to share thoughts, confessions, frustrations, and small wins.
No accounts.No comments.No likes.Just words.
Why we built this
University life can be isolating. Academic pressure, post-graduation uncertainty, and social media make it hard to say how things really feel. We wanted a quieter place: somewhere you can put a thought without attaching your name to it.
How it works
We review every submission before it goes up, so there is no open posting form. Use the Submit by Email button to send us your post.
Write mainly in English and aim for 300 words or fewer; that is an editorial target, not a hard word limit. The hard limit is 3,000 characters. We check each submission against our posting guidelines. The administrator can see the email address you send from. We do not publish it or write it to the posts database. Avoid details that could identify you or someone else.
By sending a submission, you confirm that you own it or have permission to share it. You give Unsaid at UW non-exclusive permission to lightly edit and publish it anonymously, while you keep ownership of your work. We do not send approval notifications. Approved submissions may be published anonymously without an email. If your submission is not accepted, we will send a brief email. Review times vary depending on submission volume and the nature of the review. Please do not resend the same submission while it is under review.
