Dreamers Creative Writing operates at the intersection of literary craft and emotional inquiry, and its Micro Nonfiction Story Writing Contest reflects that ethos with unusual clarity. The call is for nonfiction narratives of 100 to 300 words that are, in the organization's own words, 'from the heart' and concerned with heartfelt or healing writing. This is not a venue for intellectual pyrotechnics or supercilious cleverness; the editors state plainly that work with little emotional depth will not find favor. The contest thus positions itself as a space for concise, vulnerable, and formally disciplined personal writing. The winner receives $120 and two copies of the Dreamers Magazine Spring Edition—one print, one digital—and the winning story will be published both online and in print. Up to three honorable mentions may be selected at the editors' sole discretion, each published online and paid a standard $20 CAD honorarium. All entrants receive one copy of the Dreamers eMagazine Spring Edition, a gesture that acknowledges the submission itself as a form of participation in the magazine's readership. The entry fee is $10 USD, and the deadline is April 1, 2027. The contest's curatorial vision is narrow but deep: it seeks micro nonfiction that earns its brevity through emotional precision rather than conceptual display. Writers working in memoir, personal essay, or any nonfiction mode are welcome, provided the work is genuinely felt and, ideally, oriented toward healing.
