ABOUT DREAMERS CREATIVE WRITING
Dreamers Creative Writing is dedicated to heartfelt writing in all its forms, from writing for writing’s sake, to using creative writing in academic research, to writing as therapy. The Dreamers Magazine and DreamersWriting.com are filled with poems and stories from the heart, and the Dreamers Writing Farm offers writing retreats, self-directed residencies, writing workshops, and general accommodations.
We take our name from a lecture published in 1908, called “Creative Writers and Daydreaming” where Freud compared dreaming to art. He writes, “A piece of creative writing, like a daydream, is a continuation of … what was once the play of childhood.” Our name also has personal meaning for our Editor-in-Chief and Founder, Kat McNichol. When Kat was a teenager, her dad owned Dreamers Gallery, a small art gallery based in Lion’s Head, Ontario. Do you have a story to tell? Dreamers can help!
