Off the Record
A Place for Words That Don't Need Permission

Coming Late 2025... Off the Record

Some stories are too raw, too real, or too honest to fit inside our everyday titles.


That’s why Off the Record is making its debut first as a newsletter late 2025, then featured monthly inside Paper Trails, a mini magazine launching January 2026.

Off the Record is for the hidden writers.

The ones rediscovering their voice.

The ones who want to share without the pressure of their name attached.

Off the Record is a home for creative writings that want to exist, even if the words are whispered.

You don’t need to be a “writer.” You just need words worth sharing.

We’ll publish pieces from contributors anonymously or named.

📬 Subscribe to receive the first issue late 2025.
🖋 Want to discuss getting your words published? Submit your words below. No need for it to be perfect. Just share your thoughts and let's connect.

Off the Record is where your words can be told quietly without fear of judgement.

Share a story to inspire others... 

Is this your story or someone else's?
Mine
Someone I know (please share their name and how I might reach them in the text below)
I'd like to share this story without using names

Think of this like telling a friend: What happened? What did you learn? What makes it worth sharing?

A lesson, inspiration, encouragement, or even just a laugh!

Are you open to being interviewed for the podcast or featured in the newsletter?
Yes, absolutely!
Maybe, let's chat more.
Not me, but I'd love for you to share the story.
Yes, but please keep it anonymous / no names.
