Author of all Verena collections

Emma Delaney

Emma Delaney is a woman who traveled alone and wrote about what cannot be captured in photos. Her journeys were not only about cities, but moments within: morning scents, childhood echoes, glances from strangers. Her stories don’t search for answers — they leave a tone behind. There’s a rhythm in them, like breathing — natural, unexpected, alive.

What we create

Four things that remain true in every collection.

  • One voice

    All pieces are written by the author from experience.

  • Calm rhythms

    We search not for volume, but for depth.

  • Living places

    Each city is woven in as a backdrop for inner shifts.

  • Traces of silence

    The pages leave space — for thought, for feeling, for pause.

A place to pause

Verena is a space where pages don’t demand — they wait. We don't draw a path — we share our own. Each collection reflects part of a journey, where words are written slowly. It’s not a biography. It’s not a travel diary. It’s a way of feeling the world.

Answers to the most common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have to read the collections in a certain order?

No, each collection is a complete story with its own mood. They are united by style and voice, but do not require chronology. You can start with the one that is closer to you in name or feeling.

What's inside each collection?

These are short stories written by one woman during her travels. There are observations, snippets of thoughts, scenes from street cafes, shadows on the walls, night windows, smells and the voice of the inner world. They require no preparation - only attention.

Who are these collections created for?

For those who like to read slowly. Who are not looking for solutions, but for feelings. Who appreciate simple moments and know how much one paragraph can say.

Are there fictional characters in the collections?

All stories are the author’s voice, her experience, her observations. There are no plots in the classical sense. There are moments that she lived through — and which are close to many.

What is special about this project?

The fact that it is very personal. Here everything is built around one voice, one view, one way of being in this world. And that is why the collections feel not like books, but like a presence.
