Guide Note

PostSecret is a blog and art project which calls on the public to anonymously mail in their secrets. The homemade post cards containing the secrets are then published on the site.

Founder of PostSecret Frank Warren reads through the thousands of submissions sent in every week and picks 10 to 20 to post every Sunday.¹

Since PostSecret began in 2005, four books have been published containing secrets, some not published on the site.
