Accompanying these rotating announcements are the soundtracks from How to Train Your Dragon, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Star Trek, and Captain America: The First Avenger. In other words, conference organizer Rebecca P. Minor stole my playlist.

Last night I announced the winner of the 2013 Clive Staples Award.

Today is the Realm Makers conference’s second and final day.

Already we’ve had a round-table discussion on science and magic, featuring Kathy Tyers, Grace Bridges, Kat Heckenbach, Andrew Winch, and Matt Yocum. Even as I type this, Bryan Davis is outlining The Hero’s Journey and why it works, and how authors can follow it.

Next events include:

1. Robert Treskillard: THIRST — how to keep the reader turning pages
2. Panel: Small Publishing 101, how it works, the road ahead
3. Matt Yocum: Building Your Idea Into Comics
4. Grace Bridges: Spotlight on Splashdown
5. Grace Bridges: From Science Face to Science Fiction
6. On the Spot: Would this Manuscript make the cut?
7. Andrew Winch and Ben Wolf: Annoncement of Splickety Flash Fiction contest winner
8. Jeff Gerke: Closing Keynote
9. Group Signing with author Q and A, meet-n-greet

As with yesterday, follow photos from the conference by friending Speculative Faith on Facebook.

I’m also live-Tweeting the event, @SpecFaith with the hashtag #RealmMakers.
