LegendHaven is a great place for faith-inspired fiction authors and readers to support each other, and contribute to the Catholic renaissance of the arts in our days. If we are made in the image of the creator, then we are called to be creators too."

The Saints & Sagas writing contest promises to generate exciting new stories and promising new voices for a culture greatly in need of powerful entertainment.

"Sometime we forget that some of the heroes who reached sainthood were just as normal as you and me, except they stormed Heaven with incredible grit and effort. This challenge seeks to inspire teens that the adventure of their life is just beginning, and the saints are standing by as guides and inspiration."

As a dad with nine children, I hope to inspire my children's faith with lively saints stories that capture their imagination. Let's create a must-read book for teen readers!"

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.

I can't wait to see the stories these teens will create. Everyone needs heroes, and it's time to revive our amazement at how incredible the saints can be.

And that they can inspire us today, right now. We just need the right story to do it.

Mass media offers flawed heroes. The Church offers amazing role models for teens. We have to inspire the next generation of youth with incredible stories. A book like this leaves a legacy, and builds a bridge to the future.

"The Saints & Sagas contest is a wonderful opportunity for teens to reflect on the lives of their favorite saints, while also building epic storytelling skills. A fantastic challenge for this holy season of Lent! The winning authors will be published and even receive royalties for their stories. Get your pens and laptops ready, young writers: this is going to be EPIC fun!!!"

A lot of the Saint stories I've read were written DECADES ago, have the tone of a tribute, and tend to sand over the relatable human struggles. LegendFiction is about to change that, and I am HERE for it!
