The Way Finder candle The Way Finder

Why no names?

We publish without bylines to resist the attention economy and to protect tender stories. The point is the practice, not the platform.

Three reasons

  1. To counter clout. Names can pull us toward performance; we want honesty without branding.
  2. To protect vulnerability. Some truths surface only when social risk is low.
  3. To center the work. The Way Finder is a small library for the weary and stubbornly hopeful.

In practice

  • No bylines, bios, or social links on public pages.
  • Editors keep a private contact record for proofs and takedowns.
  • We remove details that could identify private individuals or locations unless consent is explicit.

If this posture helps you tell the truth with care, we'd be honored to carry your words. → Contribute
