Realm Makers serves a growing community of Christian authors who write exclusively in the genres of fantasy, science fiction, horror and all their related subgenres. Over 500 people attended our annual conference in July 2023 both in-person and virtually which reflects 25% growth in attendance over 2022. Also in 2023, our mobile bookstore sold over 4500 books at events all over the country and our new bricks and mortar bookstore, Bookish, in the King of Prussia Mall near Philadelphia, sold 17,000 books! Realm Makers is dedicated not only to the education and nurturing of Christian authors but also to the task of selling their books to readers.

Becoming a sponsor or an advertiser is a fantastic way to get your work or business in front of every attendee at the Realm Makers Conference as well as the readers who attend the venues where we sell books. Many individual sponsorships are the benefits afforded to official sustaining members. If you support the goals of Realm Makers as we strive to support Christian authors in their careers through our online community, events, awards, and bookstore consider becoming a subscribing member at community.realmmakers.com and receive a coupon code with a discount toward your sponsorship.

The Realm Makers Conference is a hybrid conference. We livestream or video record every session of the in-person event in order to increase our ability to serve our network of members, exhibitors, publishers, and sponsors around the world.

Below you will find all the benefits that come with the listed levels of advertisement or sponsorship.
