Dreamers Micro Nonfiction Story Writing Contest

Submit a nonfiction story "from the heart" of between 100 and 300 words for your chance to win! The winner will receive $120 plus 2 copies of the Dreamers Magazine Spring Edition (1 print, 1 digital). We’re interested in micro nonfiction from any genre, as long as it's heartfelt or involves healing writing. If your story is superciliously clever with little emotional depth, we're probably not interested, but if it pulls at the heartstrings, then you should definitely submit it!

The winning story will be published online and in print in our spring magazine!

We will select up to 3 honourable mentions (at the Editors sole discretion) that will be published online. Each runner-up will be paid our standard $20 CAD honorarium.

Motivation:

We've introduced this nonfiction story writing contest to celebrate the launch of our first online and on demand Writing to Heal Workshop! 

People who routinely “write to heal” experience increased confidence, a sense of calm, and a deeper appreciation for the life they’re living. 

We'd love it if you took some time to learn more about this workshop. And we'd REALLY love it if you submitted some of your healing nonfiction writing to this contest! We're all about the feels over here at Dreamers. 

Entry Fee:

$9 USD, plus all entrants receive 1 copy of the Dreamers eMagazine Spring Edition.
