Writing & Editing - Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Dreamers Creative Writing is dedicated to writing that is from the heart.Throughout human history, storytelling has been the thread that binds what is good about humanity together. But look at contemporary life and culture—doesn't it feel like we've lost our way? Like we've dropped the threads of our story? We need to find methods for encouraging understanding and empathy across borders, cultures, environments and genders in order to reestablish the emotional connection that makes us who we are. Because if what is happening now is a true reflection of our species, then what kind of future are we facing? We need to dream, write, speak and live a better story.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, and a substitute for, what was once the play of childhood" (28). He goes on to say that "myths, legends and fairy tales" are the "wishful fantasies of whole nations, the secular dreams of youthful humanity" (Freud, 28).Our business 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. Read the whole story.
