Hello friends,
Of all the posts I create, this one makes me the happiest. That’s because my newest book, Dreaming on the Page, carries the message that we are all dreamers and storytellers–and claiming our creativity (and our dreams!) is as natural as it is meaningful and playful.
Have a look, and enjoy!

My newest book, Dreaming on the Page: Tap into Your Midnight Mind to Supercharge Your Writing was published this week. Since you’ve been following this journey for some time now as a member of my community of readers, writers, and dreamers—that might be all you need to know!

Otherwise, read on for all the juicy details!

It’s a book!

Pick up a pen and dream

Dreaming on the Page is for writers of all genres, from casual journal-keepers to experienced authors – and anyone who aspires to write.

Accessible to people who don’t remember their dreams as well as for people who do, this book will empower writers to pick up a pen and befriend all aspects of who they are. Dreams and writing offer approachable ways to live richer, more soulful lives both on and off the page.

Discover how to:

• Turn your dreams into poems and stories

• Supercharge your poetry and prose

• Blast through writer’s block

• Use brain science to help harness your creative powers

• Have an endless supply of rich writing prompts 

…and much more!

The Dreaming on the Page Origin Story

In an interesting twist, I started Dreaming on the Page online classes and workshops because I’d given up on the idea of writing a book. And then, of course, I wrote a book!

Here’s what  happened:

I’m passionate about dreams and writing, and I wanted to introduce people to what I’d learned from my studies of the science, psychology, and spirituality of dreams and writing. But I’d been told by one agent after another that I didn’t have a large enough social media reach (mine was barely in the thousands—they wanted tens of thousands) for them to take a chance on me or my book.

I was discouraged by the limitations and frustrations I’d encountered with book publishing at the time, and I had the thought:

Why does it have to be a book? There are other ways to “publish” in the sense of making good ideas public!

So I threw myself into creating online courses instead and began connecting with a wider community of dreamers and writers who were looking for a new way to spark their creativity, and enrich their relationship with their imagination, dreams, and subconscious—both in the service of their writing—and in service of living an authentic and meaningful life.

But then, something happened. My students started asking me if I was writing—or would consider writing—a book about what I’d been teaching them.

And so I did!

More than one way to make dreams come true

I hadn’t forgotten my previous attempts to make this a book, however. So, when it came time to publish, I skipped past the gatekeepers and took matters into my own hands. I researched alternative publishing models and placed my book with The Collective Book Studio, a woman-owned partner publishing company that cares about creating beautifully designed books. And I wanted the words I’d worked so hard to put onto the page to enter the world in their finest finery. 

 

The finished product has a cover on high-quality textured paper so writers will delight in the feel of the book, even before they open it. There are wide french flaps that are ideal for tucking notes or dream reports inside of. And the inside pages are filled with short essays about the Dreaming on the Page method, along with writing prompts and exercises on pages with inviting design flourishes.

It’s good karma to post a review
