The World
What is DreemWorld?
DreemWorld is a gamified collaborative fiction platform designed for writers who are serious about their craft. Whether you're writing fiction or non-fiction, this isn't for casual hobbyists โ it's for writers who prioritize writing, commit to deadlines, and invest in community.
During a six-month season, you'll complete a significant body of work โ 16,000 or 32,000 words depending on your chosen schedule โ develop your editing skills through peer critique, and finish with a polished manuscript ready for publication.
What makes us different? We've turned the writing process into an adventure. The gamification โ avatars, trophies, gardens, collaborative storylines โ isn't just fun; it's the spoonful of sugar that keeps you motivated when the work gets hard.
Choose Your Path
Two Tracks
Fiction Writers
- โChoose a character, avatar, role, and realm within DreemWorld lore.
- โYour story can be solo fiction, collaborative with other characters, or entirely independent.
- โEarn "salaries" to decorate your home, unlock clothes and accessories, display trophies, and grow gardens through community interaction.
- โParticipate in World events, challenges, and surprises throughout the season!
Non-Fiction Writers
- โWork within Scholar Tree โ a studious treehouse realm designed for research, essays, memoirs, and more.
- โGamification is optional. Focus on your book, or choose to engage with the World's features.
- โWho knows? You might finish your non-fiction project and get pulled into the fiction fun for future seasons!

Build Your Author Portfolio
