Dear Dreamspace friends,
After a busy and beautifully chaotic summer, I’ve decided to make a gentle shift in our publishing rhythm—for both Dreamspace Sparks and the Dreamspace Lantern newsletter.
Here’s what’s changing:
- Dreamspace Sparks will now be published twice a year (end of fall & end of spring). This gives us more space to gather truly meaningful creative work—and makes every issue feel special.
- Dreamspace Lantern will move to a quarterly rhythm. This way, each letter is rich with stories, reflections, and news worth sharing, not just “filler” to keep up with the calendar.
Why the change?
Quality is more important to me than quantity. I want every issue—whether it’s a creative zine or a newsletter—to feel like a gift, not just another item in your inbox. Life moves fast enough. Let’s create space for depth, delight, and genuine connection.
What happens to summer submissions?
All pieces already submitted for the “Summer” issue of Dreamspace Sparks will be held for the upcoming biannual edition—no need to resubmit! If you haven’t sent yours in yet, the call is reopened:
Poetry, prose, short stories, and artwork are all welcome. If you’ve been holding back, this is your invitation to send your work and become part of the Dreamspace community.
New deadline: (insert new submission deadline here—suggest end of October or mid-November for fall issue)
Thank you for your patience & understanding.
Your creativity and support are what make this community so special. I can’t wait to share the next issue with you—all the more intentional, beautiful, and weird for the extra time.
If you have any questions, want to submit, or just want to say hello—reply to this note or visit DreamspaceStudio.net.
With gratitude,
Niki
