I'm so excited to be back at the Realm Makers Conference after not being able to attend last year. This is such a special conference. When you attend and start meeting people and making friends, your shared desire to write Christian speculative fiction binds you in a way that doesn't happen in most other writers' conferences. It's like you join a (very, very large) family, and every time you attend, it's like you're coming to a family reunion.
This is the ninth Realm Makers conference I've attended, and I've made so many friends there. I'm so excited to see most of the special friends I've made here! Not only that, but for the first time, I brought a friend with me--a young author who is also a talented artist, and I'm thrilled to personally introduce someone into the world of Realm Makers!
And I'll be pitching the full Fast Track Thrillers series to two publishers! I had signed up for one pitch appointment when I registered for the conference, but when I arrived, I learned that we could sign up for another. I spend some time looking up the other publishers who had appointments available, found another one that seemed like it might be a good fit, and signed up. I'm sure I'll have some butterflies in my stomach tomorrow, when both of my pitch appointments are scheduled, but for now, I'm just excited for the opportunity to put the Fast Track Thrillers before some publishers who I'm praying will be interested in them.
