Within the Walls Submissions

Empowerment Through Storytelling

What happens behind closed doors often stays hidden. We’re here to change that.

'Within the Walls' is a confidential storytelling project that gives voice to the experiences too often silenced — the pain, injustice, and survival that unfold behind the walls of homes, institutions, relationships, and communities.

If you’ve endured something difficult, dark, or deeply personal, and you’re ready to release it through writing, this platform was created for you.

How We Protect Your Anonymity

  • Write anonymously: We never publish identifying details without consent.
  • Fictionalise for safety: Our editors alter names, places, timelines, and other specifics, or even retell your account in the style of a folktale or parable. Your truth remains intact while your identity stays protected.
  • Your choice: Approve every change before publication.

What We Provide

  • Free professional editing & formatting
  • Publication on Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) We are no longer supporting Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) due to Amazon's complicity in the genocide. All e-Book publications will now be sold as PDFs on an upcoming platform brought to you by AMWASA.
  • Authors will earn royalties on every PDF sold.
  • Sensitive, anonymous counselling on request.

📩 To submit your story for consideration, please email to with the subject line: 'Within the Walls.' Your privacy is our priority. We will never share your personal details. Non-Disclosure Agreements are available upon request.
