“With thoughtful narrative voice and emotional honesty, N. D. Wilson’s 100 Cupboards (2007) opens doors to worlds of mystery and adventure.”
—Lorehaven on Aug 5, 2022

Blood Secrets
“Blood Secrets charts a satisfying conclusion to the Skyworld duology, with dashing prose that draws readers into this world of steam and mystery.”
—Lorehaven on Jul 22, 2022

Jabberwock’s Curse
“In Jabberwock’s Curse, R.V. Bowman blends different elements from Lewis Carroll’s classic into a quick-paced coming-of age story whose three heroes must learn who they were created to be.”
—Lorehaven on Jul 8, 2022

The Governess of Greenmere
“Obscure Arthurian and Celtic references blend with biblical imagery and high heroism in this brief yet old-souled story.”

Realm Makers 2013: Registration Now Open

Fantasy/sci-fi/speculative writers of the Christian persuasion: registration has opened for the Realm Makers writers’ conference, this August in St. Louis.
E. Stephen Burnett on May 3, 2013
No comments

logo_realmmakersFantasy/sci-fi/speculative authors who happen to want to glorify God in you writing, one way or the other, here is one way to do that:

Register for the Realm Makers writers’ conference on August 2 to 3, 2013, in St. Louis, Missouri.

Complete registration is now open for $185. On a personal note: that’s much cheaper than your average everyday Christian fiction writers’ conference.

Novelist Rebecca P. Minor gives this update at the new site, RealmMakers.com:

Realm Makers: 2013
A Faith and Fantasy Alliance Event

August 2-3, 9:00 am — 10:00 pm

JC Penney Conference Center
1 University Blvd, St Louis, MO 63121-4400

What is Realm Makers?

Realm Makers is a writers conference geared specifically to creators of speculative fiction who consider their faith-based world view their highest priority. The event will present panels and classes appropriate for authors of all experience levels, from the beginning writer to the seasoned industry professional.

Below you will find all the particulars about this year’s conference registration. Be aware that space is limited at this year’s venue, so it is very possible this conference will sell out. Don’t hesitate to submit your registration.

For information on classes and conference content, visit the Courses page.

    I would register now, but Dave Ramsey would likely yell at me (again).

    Registration pending, though. Perhaps someone can save me a slot.

    Alas, poor ACFW, I knew it well. But Realm Makers wilt bump thee this season.
