There is no wrong way to love.
It looks different from person to person, culture to culture, generation to generation. It lives in grand gestures and quiet moments. In the spaces between words and the ones spoken at 3am. In kitchens and hospital rooms. In letters never sent and hands held at the end.
I believe there is more love in this world than hate, more than anger, more than war and sadness combined. And today, I’m starting something to prove it.
The Anthology of Love is a year-long community project built around one question:
What does love look like to you?
From today, July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, I’m collecting voices from around the world- every age, every background, every experience of love- to be compiled into a published anthology.
This isn’t just my story. It’s ours.
Your submission can take any written form- poetry, song lyrics, personal essay, a letter, short prose. There’s no length requirement and no rule about which kind of love. Romantic love, parental love, friendship, self-love, grief love, complicated love- all of it belongs here. The only requirement is that the words are your own and original.
You can submit directly through the form on the Anthology of Love page, or by emailing writesophiawesley@gmail.com. Full details, including the timeline and how to share your piece with the hashtag #AnthologyOfLove, are all there.
I’ll be documenting this journey as it unfolds over on Substack– the submissions that move me, what this project teaches me about love, and the patterns I begin to notice in all your stories.
If you’ve loved- in any form, in any direction- your voice belongs here.
Thank you for being part of this.
