What is DreamForge all about? One World, One Destiny!
Imagine a future beyond tomorrow, where the Human Adventure is just beginning. We did, and we invite you to join us.
DreamForge is a full-color, illustrated print magazine with a quarterly digital/online edition called DreamForge Anvil (with more articles and features).
In 2023-2024, we have more stories, more options, and add-ons, along with an anthology sized MEGA Issue to round out our publication year with the theme “The Grand Uplift.”
Our Exciting 5th Year Goals Include:
• Adding an extra anthology-sized Mega Issue to Our Line Up, with the theme “The Grand Uplift.” • $500 Bonus for Best Story of the Year, voted by our Readers. • Setting a Stretch Goal of raising our pay rate to $0.08/word. • Through our words to present more positive worlds to optimistic readers and with our webinars and DreamCaster writing group, to help more hopeful writers find their voice and improve their fiction.
Positive Fiction and The Grand Uplift
We become what we imagine! So, all DreamForge stories engage readers with strong, empathetic characters and welcoming communities committed to positive outcomes. With our 2024 Mega Issue taking on the theme of “The Grand Uplift,” we hope to envision and call for:
• A dramatic turning point or event that sparks a wave of positive change and growth. • A powerful movement or process that brings about positive change on a large scale, such as social, economic, or cultural advancements. • A collective endeavor or initiative that seeks to elevate humanity's knowledge, understanding, or wisdom. • A period of rapid progress, innovation, and development in various fields, such as science, technology, art, or philosophy. • A sense of unity and shared purpose among people working together towards a common goal of betterment and upliftment. Stories for "The Grand Uplift" will suggest an inspiring and momentous shift that benefits humanity, fostering a sense of hope, progress, and optimism.
DreamForge returns to print! DreamForge Magazine is publishing 2 print issues/year, with stories compiled from our quarterly online/digital issues of DreamForge Anvil. DreamForge Anvil continues to deliver guest articles on writing by author Wulf Moon, and to go behind the scenes with line edits of select stories, showing how tales go from first to last draft!
Solar Imaginings and Sanctuaries A Collection of Stories from DreamForge Anvil 11 and 12.
Twice a year, we compile the digital stories and create a print edition at Amazon. Every story is illustrated in this colorful, beautiful 8.5x11 print edition. Available world wide.
DreamForge is a Science and Fantasy Fiction Magazine founded on the idea that “The Human Adventure is Just Beginning.” And if I were to add to that, just the idea or the hope that we are becoming more humane as we evolve.
We often use the tagline: “In all worlds and times, our tales revolve around those individuals and groups who bring meaning and value to the world, whose actions are of consequence, and whose dreams are the vanguard of things to come.”

Our goal is to publish fiction and commentary that embody, in one way or another, these essential principles: integrity and decency, compassion and creativity, intelligence and inventiveness, the rule of law and liberty under the law, and the dignity of the individual.
We do not subscribe to hopelessness or futility as a vision of the future or of any setting or situation.
We believe in the power of synergy to unleash the potential of disparate individuals and communities for the betterment of all.
