Announcing Dreamers Magazine Issue 20…
This issue arrives at a turning point. After a long, hard winter—one that felt heavier than most—the sun is finally showing itself again. And with it, the weight we’ve all been carrying seems a little lighter, if only by degrees.
You’ll find sorrow and memory here, but also grounding—stories rooted in place, in moments of return, and in the quiet persistence of the self. Our “Sense of Place and Home” Contest entries explore what it means to belong, to leave, and to long for what once was. And our Micro-Nonfiction Contest winners capture flashes of truth that settle in and stay awhile.
This issue’s feature, The Writing Prompt by George Chandy, stands as a powerful reminder of how writing can draw the past forward—gently, unrelentingly—and how it can ask us to face what we’ve kept buried.

It’s not a light collection, but perhaps it doesn’t need to be. Like spring, it carries something more enduring than cheer: renewal, in small and personal ways.
Issue 20 features:
- The winners of the 2025 Place and Home Contest.
- The winners of the 2025 Micro Nonfiction Contest.
- Feature Story “The Writing Prompt” by George Chandy.
- A book review of fiction novel, Drinking the Ocean.
