Dreamers Creative Writing — Book Reviews — Canadian Author, Publisher, Place or Person Required

Overview
Dreamers Creative Writing operates a rolling submission model for book reviews, with no fixed deadline so long as the submission form remains open. The journal's editorial identity is anchored in heartfelt and healing writing, a thematic frame that extends to its review section: the books considered are not limited by genre or form, encompassing short story collections, poetry collections, novels, memoirs, chapbooks, and first-hand accounts. What unites the accepted work is less a single aesthetic doctrine than a disposition—writing that attends to interior life, repair, and emotional consequence. The Canadian component is a structural requirement, not a decorative one. Reviews must engage a book by a Canadian author, a Canadian publisher, a Canadian main character, or a Canadian setting. Authors of the reviews themselves may be based anywhere in the world; the Canadian element resides in the subject under discussion. This makes the call unusually open to international reviewers while insisting on a specific curatorial lens: Canadian literary production as the through-line. Accepted reviews are paid $60 CAD. There is a $3.00 USD submission fee. The journal asks for 12-point font, double-spaced formatting, and a length of 2–3 pages. Multiple submissions are permitted. The absence of a fixed deadline places the emphasis on fit and readiness rather than on a calendar-driven race; the operative question is whether the review is the right one for the journal's readership, not whether it arrived in a particular window.
