Verena — a home for quiet words

Verena didn’t start from an idea, but from a feeling. Somewhere between travels, between pages in a notebook, and postcards kept for their handwriting — something asked to stay. That something was the writing. Not made to change anything. Just made to remain close.

This is a project of one author who travels alone, writes in silence, and shares stories born from glimpses, scents, and shadows. Every piece in the Verena collections captures real fragments of life: slow observations, thoughts that don’t look for conclusions, and moments that could happen to anyone — yet here they are held in words.

Our approach

We believe in the strength of small things. A single sentence, a single paragraph, or one moment can carry more meaning than long explanations. That’s why each collection doesn’t try to say a lot — it speaks with clarity.

We don’t create long stories. We offer space. For silence. For resonance. For your own thoughts to rise between the lines.

About the author

Emma Delaney is the author of all collections. She travels on her own, always carrying a notebook to record her observations. Her stories are born from early morning feelings, street scenes, café stillness, and quiet gestures from passersby.

What she writes has no fixed beginnings or endings. It’s an echo of a state that doesn’t need to be explained. Her style is attentive, calm, sincere. In each piece, there’s a pause where the reader can linger a little longer.

What Verena is today

It is an online space where words are not lost in the noise. There’s no need to scroll quickly. You can return to what you’ve read. Read aloud. Or simply leave the page open and say nothing at all.

Verena is a personal literary space, where the collections follow each other like steps across warm stones. If you are looking for something sincere, simple, and quietly deep — you’ve already arrived.
