Our subs are still open through the 15th of November! Please be sure to read our guidelines before submitting. We think they're pretty clear, but we're also here to answer any questions about submitting if you have them!

We are loving those poetry submissions! Keep ‘em coming — you’ve got a few more days!

Those @thirteenbridges.bsky.social poetry submissions keep rolling in! We’re open through the beginning of December — check our site for details!

You can submit your 15-or-fewer-lines poems to us for the next 17 days!

These are incredible collections. Ask you library to order them!

Our @chillsubs.bsky.social listing is updated with the new submission call. If you're not familiar with ChillSubs, check them out -- an excellent resource for writers and editors!

Submissions are open through 15 November for our late-December issue! forms.gle/gSGMv23qkheQ...

You can now order a full-color copy of Delicate Emissions from our Ko-Fi shop! ko-fi.com/s/e4f9219654 The price -- $2.50 but also with a pay-what-you-can option -- includes international mailing!

Y’all — the zines are FINALLY ready to mail! I’ll be putting a few in the Ko-Fi store in the next few days. Thanks for your grace with this issue. Moving 8 hrs west, starting grad school and teaching, then having a fire & being displaced was A TEST but we passed!

Nerve to Write is a new online magazine for disabled, chronically ill, and neurodivergent writers to showcase creative innovation and build crip community. We are officially open for free submissions of poetry, fiction, nonfiction, hybrid writing, and artwork!

Your physical copies (!!!) will be on their way once @dusti.bsky.social ‘s fire cleanup is complete. Wish we had a timeline for this (for all kinds of reasons!). If you’re jot a contributor and want to wait to order, we’re holding off on uploading it to our Linktree. Thanks for understanding!

Thanks and happy to have poems in here!

My poems “Tickseed” and “Sufjan Stevens glues wings to his back” are in this lovely issue of Delicate Emissions!

I did it! Next is to figure out the scanning system at my new library so I can build the physical copies to send to our contributors and anyone who'd like to order a copy from our Linktree! We mail for free. If you want a copy and don't have any money, let the zine know and we'll see what we can do!

Check out two by @chrispb.bsky.social in this issue!

Featuring work by @mimulus.bsky.social, Aspen Greenwood, Sara Cline, Chris Bridgen, Basil Boultbee, & Annalies Mohle.

At last, the August 2025 issue is live online. sites.google.com/view/delicat... More promo (and our physical copy) coming soon! It's the first week of grad school for our editor and things are a *little* wacky right now. Thanks @chillsubs.bsky.social for sending so many great poets our way!

Thanks for your patience while we get this issue up and running!

Oh heck — we have some good, good stuff coming your way to round out the meteorological Northern Hemisphere summer! Including @mimulus.bsky.social and @chrispb.bsky.social

Those acceptance emails are coming soon — thanks for your patience with the one-day delay!

So we unintentionally didn’t open our subs on ChillSubs until July 2 (our “reading” period is different from our “submission “ period) so we’re keeping subs open until 7/15. Now’s your time! Read our guidelines, check out our work, and submit if it fits — all links are in our bio!

My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.

I’m just an editor looking for more poems to read (because reading for two journals and a playwriting project isn’t enough for me).

Today’s the last day to submit your poems for our August issue! We produce a physical zine as well an online issue, and all contributors get a copy. Click the link in our bio for guidelines and the submission form (and to see what we’ve published).

Subs close for the poetry zine next week! Follow the link in @delicatezine.bsky.social ‘s bio to get to the submission & guidelines form!

One of my sister publications, BOUDIN, is open for submissions!

Ten more days!

Our subs are open for two more weeks — then we start reading for that August issue! Please visit our Linktree to see what we publish and find our submission form (which has our guidelines)!

I was fortunate enough to have work published in Delicate Emissions. My work was treated with care and published both online and in a physical zine in a delightful manner. Jump in; the water is fine.

Following the release of his debut nonfiction chapbook, Distance Sequence, Luke Sutherland spoke with Sundress intern Aylli Cortez about his creative process and influences. sundressblog.com/2025/06/09/w...

Hey y’all! we start reading your submissions in July so go ahead and click on the link in our bio to get them in. Pay attention to the guidelines and just ask if you have any questions.

We’re taking a little time off social media for our total wellbeing! Keep submitting and we’ll be back next month!

A reminder -- our submissions are open for the August issue. You can support our work -- and order the latest issue -- here ko-fi.com/delicateemis...

Our Instagram account is getting almost zero traction these days. We won’t be deleting it, but we probably won’t invest much more time in posting there. Trying to keep up with the times is challenging! But in the next couple of months I’ll be working on ways to get our poets’ poems out there.

Check out our listing on ChillSubs, too!
