DESCRIPTION:
Realm Makers is the only conference for people who have a fa
ith-based worldview and who write sci-fi and fantasy.
\nRea
lm Makers’s first priority is to help foster excellence in the speculative
arts\, whether fiction\, film\, illustrations\, or whatever way we can im
agine to tell our stories. It’s our goal to help artists who wants to mark
et their work under the Christian umbrella\, as well as those who want to
pursue their goals in the general market. After all\, both the “secular” a
nd “religious” markets need excellent content. We recognize and applaud th
e fact that different artists are called to take their work to different a
udiences.
\nFlorida Christian Writers Conference is a fantastic event wi
th a top-notch faculty of agents\, editors\, authors\, and freelancers.
p>\n
Which isn’t to say that it’s only f
or people writing Christian speculative fiction. Realm Makers is a faith-f
riendly home for anyone writing science fiction\, fantasy\, horror\, or an
y other speculative genre\, whether for the general market or for the Chri
stian submarket. Our goal is to provide top-notch instruction and a suppor
tive community regardless of whether you’re seeking traditional publicatio
n or publishing as an indie author.

DESCRIPTION:
Writers need critique partners. As well-meaning a
s beta readers may be\, only another writer can really tell us what we nee
d to know about our work. But many writers are reluctant to join a critiqu
e group because they’ve heard horror stories or have had a bad experience
themselves. This workshop will equip writers to find or form a critique gr
oup\, and provide suggestions on how to give meaningful critiques that ide
ntify problems without hurting feelings. Joining a good critique group is
one of the most beneficial things a writer can do\, but only if the group
is founded on trust and civility.

DESCRIPTION:
One of the most important—but often overlooked—el
ements of any novel is a satisfying ending. A satisfying ending can redeem
an otherwise mediocre book\, and an unsatisfying ending can spoil an othe
rwise excellent book. Some of the biggest problems we see in new writers’
manuscripts revolve around inappropriate endings\, including endings that
rush through the climax\, abrupt endings\, and endings in which solutions
appear from nowhere. We’ll discuss how to avoid the most common climax and
denouement errors and how to ensure the character’s internal story arc is
reflected in the resolution of the external plot.
