THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING
OCtober Saturday 18-Sunday 19

Come join LegendHaven, the friendliest fiction convention where you meet the coolest storytellers in the world, learn how to forge stories that change lives, and make friendships that last.

LegendFiction makes writing and storytelling easier, "cooler", and so much more fun! Last year I published my first novel thanks to the resources and community provided by LegendFiction. It's also kept me accountable to my writing goals, allowing me to write better stories in a much shorter period of time. Thanks so much to Dominic and the LegendFiction team!

Before I found LegendFiction, I had no idea where to find other Catholic writers whose storytelling goals aligned with mine. I'm happy to have connected with Dominic and a few other community members, and I look forward to meeting more of you in the future!

I loved how easy it was to just jump in, be inspired, chat, feel part of the community, and the option to not be on camera if we didn’t want to be. Everyone was very kind and speakers mature in their faith; all inspiring stuff.

Make it a two day event! I wish I could have attended more, because so much was going on! It seems like there is enough content that it could be spread out over two days!

I love getting to connect with like-minded writers from around the world. I lost my love of writing during college, but got it back when I just started writing for fun with no worries about anything else.

Why attendees love LegendHaven
I loved everything! It was so much fun to come and hang out with fellow Catholic writers.

LegendFiction is a wonderful forum for emerging or seasoned authors of speculative fiction to connect directly with readers, fans, and fellow writers who are passionate about bold stories and looking for new worlds to explore.
Thomas Salerno
2025
LegendFiction is a good reminder that, as Catholic fans and subcreators, we aren't alone! There are so many great Catholics who love fantasy, sci-fi and the beauty of myth and are just looking for a place to share their love with others, without the vacuous disappointments of secular media. LegendFiction provides what all of us want: a "creative rebellion against meaninglessness"!

I learned about a lot of great new authors and books that I plan to look into as well as hearing a lot of talks about taking your writing less seriously and to just have fun with it.

I love feeling that I’m not alone as a Catholic writer in a very secular world!

It’s an utter lie… I have been tamping down my enjoyment of fiction writing for 15-ish years…. always felt like there was something “more important” I should be doing. This community is quickly showing me that is an utter lie.

Creating is so often a lonely endeavor. LegendFiction helps us come together in a supportive atmosphere where our goals are solely to help one another--and that's lifegiving.

I am on the edge of my seat for LegendHaven every year because I know I am about to plunge into a pool of revved up bookish, storyish people that I get to share my stuff with. COME TO IT, I WANT TO SEE YOU THERE TOO.

I learned how high quality Catholic/faith centric content can be. I always think things will be cheesy but there were great conversations on successful music and film-writing, great authors and even how Catholic media currently stands from a literary agent’s perspective.

I loved the discussions! It was so fun being able to discuss books and movies with other Catholics. I also loved the comedy session, that was amazing. Just chatting about different genres and fandoms with others was awesome as well, it's difficult to find others who share the same interests as me so I was so happy to meet people who do!
