additional zine projects
Dreamworldgirl Zine is always collaborating on projects outside of our biannual zines and multimedia ventures. We spearheaded two major projects in Boston: the Commonplace Zine Fest and the Date or Dash show, and have re-launched our virtual book club. Read more below!
commonplace zine fest
The Commonplace Zine Fest is a brand new public event where creators of zines gather to sell, trade, and showcase their work, brought together by a team of Boston-based independent zines, magazines, newsletters and miscellaneous publications. This event took place for the first time on November 1st, 2025 and we are currently fundraising and looking for sponsors for this year’s event!
date or dash
Date or Dash is a brand new collaboration brought to you by DWG and We’re Not Really Strangers. In this short-form, outdoor dating show two participants are matched together based off of their compatibility scores, and then go on a 5-minute date! These dates are guided by a playful card game filled with questions about love and personal identity. Make sure to watch the first season which is out now on YouTube!
dreamworldgirl book club
As part of our Fantasy season, we are re-launching our 100% free reading group! We will meet virtually on a monthly basis to discuss books that align with our Issue 05 theme. The first book the Dreamworldgirl Book Club will read together is Gwen And Art Are Not In Love by Lex Croucher. Gwen And Art Are Not In Love is a queer YA romantic comedy featuring sword-fighting, found family, and witty banter, set in a world inspired by Arthurian legend.
