Once upon a time, in the place of St. Louis, friends of the Realm Makers gathered together in an event like none have seen before. Knowledge and inspiration were shared among the clan openly and freely. Relationships were formed, enriched, and sealed. Each person finding a place to belong. As we all said farewell to return once again to our homes, one question remained.
“Hey, do you know where and when Realm Makers will be next year?”
Well, we finally have an answer. Roll up your sleeves, start digging through the closet for stuff to sell, look under the couch cushions for that loose change–we have the first major details, folks!
Now that YOU are in the know, help us get the word out! Feel free to copy the picture above (or look for it on Facebook) and then share on your social media and blogs. We have some exciting ideas for next year, and we hope to see a lot of old faces AND as many new ones as we can bring into the fold. There are other writers like us out there–let’s help them find their home!
For all those newbies who may be stopping by, how about some testimonials from the alumni? Leave your best Realm Makers experience in the comments!
Faith & Fantasy Alliance 
If I use that announcement graphic in a blog or social media post, do you want it to be linked back to this “Faith and Fantasy Alliance” blog or the website at realmmakers.com?
Blog post for now. We’re going to be redoing our website, so haven’t put this news up there yet.
And then, there was the zombie nerf battle! And random nervous conversations between conferees waiting for appointments. Also, the great times just talking to random people anywhere. This is the friendliest conference I’ve ever been too.
So excited!! This conference never ceases to encourage me and challenge me and remind me why I tell stories. Attending Realm Makers is the highlight of my year, personally and professionally.
Woo! Can’t wait!
The best part? Um… all of it? It’s great to be in a place where everyone “gets” you. You can make Christian sci-fi jokes, and no one is confused or gives you weird looks!
Not to mention great teaching. Last year (2015) we learned from Donita K. Paul and David Farland, among others.
On my calendar. Looking at train tickets.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting dates well in advance. That means I can actually book my work around the conference and get to attend!
What a privilege to learn and gather with the people this conference pulls together: Jeff Gerke, David Farland, and many more!
The best part? MEETING EVERYONE. That was absolutely fantastic, and I had a blast talking to everyone who wrote the same weird stuff as I did. 😉 And even though I’m just a teen, and younger than most people there, no one treated me differently or like an “inexperienced” writer. Sooo thankful for all the new friends I made. ❤
I'm ridiculously excited about next year, and already starting to plan my costume… 😉
This post makes me ridiculously happy.
And now there is no hope of me going. 😦 I’ve been waiting and watching for a couple of years, and was hoping to save enough money for this next one, but Philadelphia is way out of driving distance for me.
