Why LegendHaven?
Something has gone badly wrong. Right now, too many stories are sick and rotten. They challenge us to rebel against reality, groom our imaginations with ugliness, and smirk at any ideas of goodness. It's hurting us and our loved ones in real time. We say no more. Our faith inspires us to build worlds without end. Stories have the power to heal, and bring generations hope and bravery and fun. That's why every storyteller, reader, and fan at LegendHaven wants to build a better world. We want a million new stories filled with meaning, morals, myth, and magic.
We've been served slop long enough. Now we build a haven worth fighting for.
Founded by a young dad who wants a better future for his girl.
Join us. We're building a haven for legends like you.

Why creators love LegendHaven
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 love LegendHaven because it is, by far, the most interactive online con I've ever attended. Dominic uses fantastic software that makes it incredibly easy to interact with con attendees and other authors.

Communities like this one, the good folks who gather at LegendHaven, are essential to fuel both our creative projects and our spiritual lives. If that's what you're looking for, you're in the right place.
As a priest and a student of Sacred Scripture, I can appreciate the value of good story-telling. It is great to connect with other people who also value stories and fiction and the lessons they can impart to us.

The world is lost without the good news of the Gospel. The Dragon Common Room is delighted to join with LegendHaven in promoting the telling of Christian stories!

For the last couple of years, LegendHaven has served as a great pick-me-up when I've needed to remember why I write and who I'm writing for. It's a booster shot of motivation, and gets me excited about writing, reading, and editing all over again.

One of the most unique and fun gathering spaces I've seen in an online convention. A great way to meet and make friends and fans.

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.

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!

Stories shape the way we see the world and the way we live our lives. The stories of the saints remind us that holiness and greatness are possible for ordinary people. The LegendHaven Convention and Writing Contest is a wonderful opportunity for storytellers to share these powerful witnesses and inspire a new generation to pursue lives of courage, virtue, and faith.

Dominic has created and is hosting LegendHaven, which I had the pleasure of speaking at last year. It’s billed as “the friendliest fiction convention in the world" where authors, story lovers, book nerds, gamers, and more gather to share their love of story, imagination, writing, and adventure. Created by Catholics and Christians who love fantasy, science fiction, and epic books, you’ll meet fellow storytellers, learn how to create stories that change lives, and make friendships that last. This is an unpaid and unsolicited endorsement - I just admire Dominic and his passion for creating this community! Maybe it’s the right fit for you!

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"!

It's no exaggeration to say that I wouldn't be the writer I am today without the friendships I made and the support I found through LegendFiction and the LegendHaven con. Being part of a community of awesome writers helped me find the courage to write my first book.

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!
