She Said Anthology

2025 She Said Anthology: Coda
The CWC is heartbroken to announce that this will be our last She Said Anthology. As Salt Lake Community College has made the decision to close our doors come June 30, 2026.
We titled our last anthology, “Coda,” for the following reasons:
In music, a “coda” (Italian for "tail") is known as the concluding passage that brings a musical piece (usually a dance) to an end.
Coda marks the final passage. A closing movement, a final gesture. It is not just an ending, but a moment of stillness and reflection.
As this collection symbolizes a close to the She Said community anthologies from the Community Writing Center, we have decided to title this final work ‘Coda’.
The dance we've created, through shared truths, has been nothing short of transformative. Thank you to everyone who shared their experiences of womanhood in Utah. Together, we have curated this final collection.
Though this marks a tentative end, this work has become an important part of the CWC’s closing chapter, and we believe its imprint will last.
The community born from these pages will continue to move, echo, and dance, even after the music fades.
For information about “Coda,” please email Mia Manfredi mmanfred@slcc.edu.
Thank you to each of the writers, creators, artists, and photographers who entrusted us with your wonderful, honest, powerful, and empowering works whose work is published in “Coda.”

2024 Body of Work: A She Said Anthology
The title, "Body of Work," is inspired by the collection of work in this anthology. Body of work - oeu·vre - is borrowed from the French, literally, "work." We are a collection of our experiences, carried in our bodies. A body of work never ends. The entirety of the anthology highlights the different phases of a woman's life which represent the totality of a life lived, a body of work that is collected both with consent and without.
What is She Said?
She Said is a series of workshops hosted by the SLCC Community Writing Center in collaboration with Amplify Utah.
The She Said workshop series and anthology publication exploring womanhood in Utah and some of the issues affecting the life of women, especially reproductive health and rights, invisible labor, representation in the media we consume, and much more.
The CWC and Amplify Utah are sincerely grateful to each of the women and genderqueer folks who have participated in the workshop series since fall 2022, submitted their art and writing for publication, and who continue to share their voices and experiences with us.
The CWC is sad to announce that this will be our last She Said Anthology. As Salt Lake Community College has made the decision to close our doors come June 2026.
