Submission Guidelines

What we publish

Unfiltered publishes personal stories, confessions, diary entries, letters, and thoughts that are honest, human, and thoughtful. We look for writing that is specific, authentic, and feels true — not polished for performance.

What we don't publish

We do not publish content that identifies or exposes others without their consent, content designed to harm or intimidate specific people, hate speech, misinformation, or anything that exists primarily to hurt rather than to express.

Anonymity

You may submit anonymously. If you choose to include a name, it will appear on the published piece. We never reveal the identity of anonymous contributors under any circumstances.

Editing

We may lightly edit for clarity — correcting typos, adjusting punctuation. We never edit for meaning, tone, or perspective. Your voice stays yours.

Review process

Every submission is read by a human editor. We aim to respond within 7 days. If your story is approved, you'll be notified by email if you provided one.
