Registration for the Realm Makers Conference & Expo

opens at 6:00 PM EST

This year’s Realm Makers Conference & Expo is shaping up to be something special.

More content.
More appointments.
More fellowship.

And more opportunities than ever to connect—with industry professionals, fellow writers, and readers.

We’re gathering at one of our most unique venues yet: Union Station in St. Louis—a historic, inspiring space designed for creativity, conversation, and community. As more and more attendees choose to arrive early, we’re leaning into what makes Realm Makers different and giving you more of everything you come for.

SO PLAN TO ARRIVE ON WEDNESDAY THIS YEAR!

The main conference officially kicks off Thursday morning, June 25 at 9:00 AM, which makes Wednesday, June 24 the perfect day to settle in, explore, and start connecting.

What’s happening on Wednesday?

• Pre-Conference Workshop (1:00 PM)​
  ​The Business of Authorship: End to End with New York literary agent Mark Gottlieb (Trident Media Group) This session is a comprehensive, step-by-step look at the full publishing journey—from developing a market-ready manuscript to agents, contracts, marketing, and long-term career strategy. Ideal whether you’re planning your first book or your next.

• Explore Union Station​
  Take time to enjoy one of St. Louis’s most iconic landmarks and its surrounding attractions. https://www.stlouisunionstation.com/​
• Dinner on your own (or with new friends)​
  Grab a bite at one of the many nearby restaurants and keep the conversations going.
• Evening Networking in the Grand Hall​
  Casual, open networking designed to help you start building relationships before the conference begins.

On Thursday evening, we’ll gather for the Awards Dinner, and by the weekend the Expo will be buzzing with fans, readers, and creators flooding the floor.

We’re on the road to Realm Makers!

We can't wait to see everyone join us.
