Have questions about the awards? You’re in luck! Not only do we have a FAQ page, but we’re also hosting a live Q&A session this week!
Join us this Friday, January 7th, at 9:00 pm Eastern for our Realm Awards Q&A – our first public livestream on our new Realm Makers YouTube channel!
If you haven’t signed up to judge for the Realm Awards, now is your last chance. You know what Uncle Ben (and now Aunt Mae) always said… With great power numbers of entries comes great responsibility need for judges.
If you enjoy reading speculative fiction and have an opinion, we can use you. Sign up today.
To our judges that have already signed up:
THANK YOU! We’ll be in touch next week with details.
And while we have your attention, here are other offerings for January that you won’t want to miss!
Friday, January 14th at 9:00 pm Eastern
Allen Arnold will be treating us to a webinar on Storyteller Soul Care. If you’re a writer of speculative fiction, you won’t want to miss this free webinar.
The reason most stories get stuck is because the author is overwhelmed and running on empty. The good news is the path to creative breakthrough doesn’t involve doing more but simply caring more for your soul. Discover the hidden connection between restoration and imagination in this live, interactive teaching session from creativity coach and author Allen Arnold.
