Manifesto

How to be a Catholic Author

Helping authors write exciting novels, connect faith with fiction, and be a better Catholic!

Start this Free Course

We built LegendFiction for creators like you

Writing is a daily passion. And so is our faith! Authors need to build connections with other writers, share experiences, and encourage each other to keep going.

But after watching the online faithful space for 10 years, we saw hundreds of creators struggle to find a home that works beautifully, gives them the freedom to be faithful and creative, and helps their journey to publish and sell!

So, we launched LegendFiction: a community to help faithful fiction authors come together, share resources and insights, and grow in faith and fiction.

After your word processor… we want to be your 2nd favorite daily tab!

Welcome home. Welcome to the future. Welcome, Legend.

The Association of Catholic Publishers is pleased to support LegendFiction as a means to creating a bigger, deeper, richer catalogue of books and stories that are infused with and informed by the Catholic imagination.

Megan Fassero

Benedictine University

I imagine the LegendFiction community will be an incredible resource for Benedictine College students! What a great match: the support and encouragement of a community of faith-filled authors at LegendFiction awaits the involvement of our faithful, creative, literary-minded Ravens. This is the start of a beautiful relationship!

What a fantastic venue and community for new authors to share their ideas and feedback, grow their writing portfolio and expand their reading audience! I am so excited to venture into LegendFiction from time to time and discover delightful and intriguing new stories and engage with the authors.

WPI CoFounder

LegendFiction fills me with great joy. It’s fundamental that Catholics reclaim their centuries old tradition of excellence in the arts, particularly literature. Now, Catholic writers will be able to bring their works to a wider audience, and Catholic readership will meet new, fresh talents. May God bless this initiative!

Finally aspiring Catholic teen writers have a place to demonstrate their beautiful gifts, dreams, and creativity that swells in their hearts. Hearts that are longing for sharing their God-given talents. It is certain that the world will be better for the gift of their stories.

This group is amazing! I have met so many friends already on here. I love that this is a safe space to share your creativity, and really connect with the people on the website, unlike most social media groups.

Teens should join this group because it is an excellent place to meet fellow teen writers, share your work in a safe space, and receive helpful constructive criticism. The monthly challenges encourage writers to branch out and explore many different genres, and the quarterly contests are a great way to begin sharing your writing with a larger audience. Since it is Catholic, no one has to worry about inappropriate stories, bullying, or being harshly criticized and put down. In this group, you can grow your love for writing in a secure environment! It's also great to meet people who you can create lasting friendships with and write with.

The best reason to join is because it's so easy to feel alone in your calling as a Catholic Author, or even as a teenager. The community here, we've all got each other's backs! I've met a bunch of great friends already, and I've barely been on for a month! Every Catholic teen should know about this website!

This group is amazing, inspirational, good and clean, I’m making amazing friends, and plus I’m learning lots! When I had first come across this, I couldn’t believe it actually existed-! As a young writer, I would exchange stories with friends, and try my best to be a good writer. But when I came across this…I was shocked! Here I don’t only share stories, I receive feedback, encouragement, and am making amazing friends. I’d encourage anyone and everyone to join! I feel like one of the things that makes this so priceless, is the fact that it’s a solid Catholic community! :)

An amazing place where Faith and Creativity meet. For any Catholic teen, and even non-Catholic teens, I would completely suggest this group as a source of positive feedback for stories, growing in the Faith as well as in our friendships.
