As a writer of speculative fiction with a faith element, this is the best week of the year!
It’s time for Realm Makers again!
Realm Makers is a conference for writers of faith where the focus is to develop both your faith and your fiction, to deepen your soul and strengthen your craft. Now in its seventh year, it continues to grow and reach new writers who love the science fiction, fantasy, supernatural aspect of stories.
I’ve been blessed to go for the last five years now. It has grown from a niche group of
dedicated writers to a professional conference requiring larger meeting space each year. It doesn’t just develop a writer with craft, business, and marketing instruction, but it connects people in a tribe that lets them know they are not alone – there are faithful believers who enjoy the geeky stories as well.
Okay, I’m gushing. It’s because RM has helped me with a family of writers who support me and my fledgling publishing journey. Without RM, I wouldn’t have my book Launch out, I wouldn’t be with my publisher, and I may not be continuing in this journey.
If you’re a Christian who loves to write any type of weird, wonderful stories in the sci-fi/fantasy genre, you need to check out Realm Makers and see if coming to a conference in the future is for you. We have a wonderful Facebook group, the Realm Makers Consortium, that connects hundreds of like-minded people.
And if you live in the St. Louis region, on July 20th there’s a Book Festival open to the public where you can buy dozens of amazing books, and get them signed by the authors. It’s headlined by Brent Weeks and Terry Brooks, and it’s going to be a party!
Hope to see you there!
