Who we are
DreemPort is a writer-powered community built to connect readers and writers in meaningful, intentional ways. Our focus is on growth and skill, not gimmicks or spectacle. Every post and every critique on DreemPort is shared anonymously. Writers and reviewers remain unknown to one another throughout the process, ensuring feedback is offered without bias or pretense. This ensures feedback is based on the writing alone - not names, reputations, or social circles. Our focus on anonymity for both submissions and critiques is also designed to encourage vulnerable, honest writing, and reinforce the kind of critique that sharpens a writer’s voice while protecting their spirit.
We screen for originality and human authorship, valuing the irreplaceable imprint of a writer’s lived experience. Our only prompt is “Make this matter to your reader,” as we seek to connect through the truth that shapes each writer’s world. Each week, a small number of pieces are selected by fellow dreemers, not algorithms, and standout works may opt-in to receive a purchase offer from DreemPort.
As the “only website that’s closed on weekends,” we believe in the beautiful balance between writing and living, online passion and offline pursuit, solitary growth and communal evolution. Your time is priceless; we're honored to cherish it.
Ambassadors
Ambassadors are the steady welcome, the guiding presence, and the human touch behind DreemPort. They remain rooted in our Discord space, ready to answer questions, offer guidance, and help you feel at home. You’ll find them in the general chat, happy to respond when tagged, or hosting short “office hour” hangouts on Mondays at 10am PST and Wednesdays at 9am PST. Whether you're brand new or returning after time away, our Ambassadors are here to greet you, support you, and help you find your rhythm in the Port.
Screeners
Once your post is submitted, it’s reviewed by our Screeners - a team of real people who take time to honor your work. We believe thoughtful writing deserves thoughtful attention. Our process involves human care; when someone takes the time to write, someone should take the time to read.
Posts are screened for:
- Plagiarism: All content must be original and unpublished elsewhere.
- AI assistance: We use Originality.ai, a paid tool that assesses the likelihood of AI-generated content. Each post receives a score indicating how human-written it is, and that score is shared with readers. This isn’t to shame or judge, it’s simply for transparency. Writers deserve meaningful critique, and readers deserve to know who they’re engaging with.
We also enforce PG-13 guidelines across all submissions. Since posts are randomly assigned to readers, everyone should feel confident knowing that what they receive will align with community standards.
The Guild
The Guild is our final layer of curation—where experience, discernment, and trust meet. When submissions rise to the top, it's the Guild who reads them again with care, evaluating not just quality, but connection, originality, and voice. If a piece is selected for purchase, the Guild determines whether an offer will be extended, and if so, assigns the purchase value. These decisions are made thoughtfully, by trusted Dreem Teem members who have demonstrated both strong critique skills and deep alignment with DreemPort’s values.
Dreemers
Dreemers are the heart of everything at DreemPort. If you come with a desire to grow, to write with courage, to read with care, and to connect with others doing the same, you’re already one of us. Dreemers aren’t defined by perfection or productivity. They’re valued for their presence. We love their willingness to show up, to learn, to contribute, and to create something lasting. This is our shared journey. And we’d love for you to walk it with us, even if just for a while.
