Writers Chat, hosted by Jean Wise, Johnnie Alexander, and Brandy Brow, is the show where we talk about all things writing, by writers and for writers!
“Because talking about writing is more fun than actually doing it.”

Besides helping with the creative vision for Realm Makers, Becky Minor writes fantasy novels of the sword and sorcery variety. She is the author of two fantasy trilogies, The Risen Age Archive and The Windrider Saga, along with a handful of spinoff short stories set in the same story universe. When she’s not writing stories, she illustrates them, having helped bring more than a dozen children’s chapter books and graphic novels to life.
Scott Minor is the Executive Director of Realm Makers, having assumed the role in 2020. Since that time, he has established a new foundation for the organization to help Christian authors of speculative fiction navigate the realities of a quickly evolving publishing world. He oversees all aspects of the company, from their online presence, to the bookstore, to the annual conference. Scott’s passion for excellence in the arts, entrepreneurial spirit, and willingness to expend copious amounts of elbow grease have helped propel Realm Makers to the forefront of the Christian writing community.
