2023 Realm Makers Conference

2023 Realm Makers Conference

Sep 27, 2023 | Creative Writing

Realm Makers is a group of Christian/Clean speculative writers (mostly Science Fiction and Fantasy). Their annual conference in St. Louis hit the ground running with a workshop by Tara Grayce on the correct use of genre tropes to market to specific audiences.

 

Steve Laube gave a wonderful keynote speech to open the event. I had the immense privilege of meeting Daniel Schwabauer and taking two classes with him on ‘Story, Character, and Prose.’ He’s an incredible writing teacher. Check out the online course he offers. I also really enjoyed the two sessions from Donald Maas on Series Characters.

The conference organizers made everyone feel welcome and kept things running smoothly. They offered many opportunities to pitch a novel to agents and publishers, or just to meet and chat with them. The awards banquet was over the top, with many people dressing as their favorite characters from SciFi or Fantasy novels.

Anyone hoping to publish clean SciFi or Fantasy should definitely check out this organization.
