Delicate Emissions Poetry Zine
@delicatezine.bsky.social
A hand-made, heart made, 8-panel poetry zine publishing small poems by poets of many sizes since 2021. Proud CLMP member; listed on ChillSubs & Duotrope. Read us at https://delicateemissions.com/. Contact: DelicateEmissions@gmail.com.
@delicatezine.bsky.social seeks poems from LGBTQ+ and nonbinary poets for Issue 19! Submissions will close on August 6 or once the editors have received 75 entries, so don’t delay: www.clmp.org/members/open...
A reader reminded us that our submission window, even with the 75 sub limit, is shorter than usual, so we are keeping it open until 11:59 pm on 13 August UNLESS we reach our limit before then. We updated this on our Chillsubs page, but haven't gotten to Duotrope or CLMP yet.
Thanks to the friends who have supported us recently! You, too, can donate or make a purchase at the link! Our 29% DISPRIDE discount is still in effect for a few more hours! ko-fi.com/delicateemis...

My attempts at humor about the situation aside, I really do need the laptop. It was an honest lifeline. Even if you can't buy books from my shop or donate, sharing this would greatly help me. I'm trying to find full time work, but motherhood and my autism make it hard. #WritingCommunity #BookSky
Rebecca E. Reyes@rebeccareyeswriting.com · 2mo agoMy beloved cat jumped onto my laptop after some litterbox zoomies. Good news: It plugs into a monitor, but can't travel. I can still use my desktop to write. Bad news: Desktop already almost needed to be replaced. I also can't travel with it. ko-fi.com/rebeccaevita #CATastrophe #OrangeCat #Kofi
A reminder for the afternoon crowd. You can also buy some zines if you don’t like just giving money away!

related, I have sent this @drewmagary.bsky.social column to so many people lately. it really speaks to the moment of what ALL publishers — of any size, content type, funding model — are up against right now
