Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Sensitive Skin features writing (fiction, poetry, memoirs, essays, and reviews) as well as art and music, without rules or boundaries, by both famous and emerging artists, writers, and musicians from around the globe. We were originally a print magazine, but switched to online only in 2016 - print was just too expensive and unwieldly (The print issues are still available on-demand on Amazon). We do, however, continue to publish books in print (on-demand and as e-books); so far we've published 15 books - novels, memoirs, poetry, and translations. Our 16th book, THE ABSENCE OF ANGELS, by Christian X. Hunter, will be released March 15, 2023. I've enclosed the cover as a "recent issue." You can find a complete list of our books here:
