The Realm Makers Expo builds upon the foundation of professional authors, artists, and game developers already attending the Realm Makers Writers Conference and the Christian Game Developers Conference. The event is the culmination of 12 years of experience running the Realm Makers Writers Conference, exhibiting as the Realm Makers Bookstore, and running a book boutique in the third largest mall in the US.   After planning and preparation in response to the Lord’s prompting, the Realm Makers Expo has emerged as a new event where Christian storytellers can come together in community, be inspired, and receive encouragement from their fans.

To be clear, there are THREE events happening at the same time over the course of the weekend

July 18-20, 2025
Grand Rapids, MI
DeVos Place Convention Center
