Welcome to Dream's Edge Publishing

SUBMISSIONS BEING TAKEN FOR "THE LITTLE GREEN BOOK"

Dream’s Edge Publishing is linking up with other publishing houses and many writers to develop, in 2023, a great story/poetry/art collection about the environment.

The idea is to celebrate mother nature and the beauty of the world around us. At the same time, we plan to show the environmental threat our world is facing via the stories, poems and artworks that are submitted.

The collection won’t be self-righteous or in any way preachy. We are aiming for an entertaining, educational and enlightening tone.

We’ve already had some top writers submit work and agree to submit stories, poems and art but we would really like more. The more the merrier as they say.

Actress, Katy Manning, probably most famous as Jo Grant alongside Jon Pertwee’s Doctor Who, has agreed to write the foreword for the book and appear on the front cover.

Submissions of new, unpublished work only will be accepted. Copyright is retained by the contributor, but publishing rights belong to Dream’s Edge Publishing.

Please submit all written works as a clean, unformatted word document.

If your work is accepted for publication, Dreams Edge Publishing retain the right to edit or amend your work as necessary.

Once your work has been accepted for publication, you are not allowed to republish it elsewhere for six months following the date of publication of our book. You will need a commercial release from us in order to do so.

We will contact you to advise you that your work has been accepted for publication, after which no correspondence will be entered into. You retain the right to withdraw your work no later than 28th February 2023. Due to printing deadlines, after this date, you are unable to request withdrawal of your work.

Publication date of the Little Book of Green is anticipated within the first quarter of 2023, although Dream’s Edge Publishing retain the right to amend or delay publication for any reason.

You do not receive royalties or any form of renumeration for any work accepted for submission, although as a contributor, you will receive a discount on any books you wish to purchase as ‘author copies.’

If your work is accepted by us for publication, we do ask that you don’t re-publish anywhere else for at least six months after our book is published.

Stories can be up to 10k word count, poems any length, you can submit up to five works of art (in jpeg form please do not send physical works).

All contributors whose work is accepted by us for publication will be contacted but no further contact will be made apart from that.

We hope to publish in the first quarter of 2023 but release may be put back.

Closing date for all submissions is 1st January 2023.

No adult content, extreme violence, offensive content will be published and no nude or offensive art will be published either, the publishers’ decision is final.

So get thinking of the world around us and the environment as a whole and get creative with stories, poems and even art. We look forward to hearing from you and, if this goes well, we hope to make it an annual thing.

We at Dream’s Edge Publishing, Christine, Graeme and Sandra care about our environment and the world as a whole. We know you do too, so let’s show the planet.

YORKSHIRE - A DIFFERENT PERSPECTVE BY
DAVID OXTABY OUT NOW

David Oxtaby is an IT manager based in the Ilkley Moor area of West Yorkshire. David first picked up a camera when he was just seven years old and though it was blurry and out of focus, he remembers vividly enjoying seeing the print and was hooked from that moment on.

He took up photography seriously ten years ago after joining his local camera club. Seeing other members and speakers’ images enthused him to go out and try to capture a different angle of well-known places, trying different subjects and techniques.

David has sold his work all over the world, his striking images appearing in newspapers, magazines, as well as on TV.

He has won photographer of the year in The Dalesman and this year one of his photos was commended in the Landscape Photographer of the Year and appears in the volume number 14 of the annual awards book.

David is passionate about encouraging others to pick up a camera and go for a walk, look closely at the world around them and try to see things in a different perspective.

THE HOUSE OF A THOUSAND DREAMS
BY CAROLE BULEWSKI - OUT NOW

THE HOUSE OF A THOUSAND DREAMS BY CAROLE BULEWSKI

In an authoritarian society based on optimizing productivity, seven-year-old Alice Roberts is growing up at the Black Castle Hotel, the karmic hotel in the mountains her parents manage.
Young Alice has been obsessed with a recurring, vivid vision, that of a yellow house in frozen woods, in a land of perpetual winter. A vision that is linked to blurry, early childhood memories of people moving in the shadows.
She has never shared the secret of the House of A Thousand Dreams, as she calls it, a place where people live happily ever after, surrounded by music and poetry – in mutual harmony. What she doesn’t know is that the House is in fact the symbol of the Resistance to the regime.
Almost against her will she gets involved in the Resistance through meeting Sid, her childhood sweetheart and artistic collaborator, Ollie, a paternal figure who will transform her outlook on the world, and the love of her life, Max.

CARTOON ARTIST MATHEW HARVEY SIGNS FOR US

We are very proud to welcome top cartoonist, animator, and writer Mathew Harvey to our publishing house.

He is working on a very exciting book to show of his cartoon skills looking at the nostalgia of kids TV shows of the 80’s & 90’s.

Also, he will be contributing to a top-secret project that we hope to reveal very soon.

We know by the quality of his work his book will be a best seller, the first of many we hope.

​

Matthew Harvey aka @Rustydoodles86 on Twitter loved to draw cartoons as a child sadly his great love was only halted when he left school. “Get a proper job” school advisors would say!

But back in 2020, like a lot of other people, he had quite a lot of free time on his hands, so he started drawing again. Through the power of social media, he started getting some good advice and great feedback.

He likes to make people smile with his art and loves taking them back down memory lane.

“If someone sees my cartoon characters and smiles then that’s enough for me,” Mathew says.

We hope you like his work and hope it brightens up your day and look forward to seeing more in his first cartoon character nostalgia book coming soon.
