\\nKeynote Speak ers: Eva Marie Everson and Zena Del Lowe
\nThe Well is a conference where creatives can be equipped\, engaged\, and encouraged. Our ministry s erves writers\, actors\, artists\, speakers\, and more.
\nRealm Makers is the only conference for people who have a faith-based worldview and who write sci-fi and fantasy.
\nRealm Makers’s first priority is to help foster excellence in the speculative arts\, whether fiction\, f ilm\, illustrations\, or whatever way we can imagine to tell our stories. It’s our goal to help artists who wants to market their work under the Chr istian umbrella\, as well as those who want to pursue their goals in the g eneral market. After all\, both the “secular” and “religious” markets need excellent content. We recognize and applaud the fact that different artis ts are called to take their work to different audiences.
\nFlorida Chris tian Writers Conference is a fantastic event with a top-notch faculty of a gents\, editors\, authors\, and freelancers.
