History

Dream Catcher began in York in 1996, where Canadian editor Paul Sutherland then lived. From the outset the emphasis has been on both writer and reader. Dream Catcher’s eclecticism is its strength. The range of literary styles is wide and what began as a magazine for student writers has become a discerning publication keen to attract new work from wherever it might emerge, aimed at readers wherever they might be.

Dream Catcher is now based in Market Rasen, Lincolnshire where it is establishing itself as a vital feature of the regional literary landscape. We want to establish Dream Catcher, the magazine, the press and the literature organisation as a real and evolving presence, regionally, nationally and internationally.

Contemporary writing for contemporary readers is our guiding principle. Enjoy this website. Whether you’re a writer or reader Dream Catcher is for you.
