Start & finish your dream novel with friends & fun.

The writers who change the world rarely create alone. LegendFiction is a haven for new & advanced authors. A guided, creative fellowship to help fantasy and science-fiction storytellers develop unforgettable worlds, finish meaningful stories, and become the storytellers they dreamed they could be.

I’ve finished two stories, finished eight novellas, and planned a shared universe. I’ve done a lot and I’m happy, because I wasn’t finishing anything last year.

Legend Fiction is the kind of awesome idea that if it didn't exist you'd want someone to invent it.

Legend Fiction has been the complete writing package for me, provided me with the resources to publish my first book, and the motivation, support, and mentorship to publish my second in under two years. Legend Fiction is awesome!!!"

yes! I want to bring my novel to life

I built the place I wish had existed when I started.

Hi, I'm Dominic! I have spent twenty-five years writing fiction, building worlds, publishing magazines, creating conventions, and helping imaginative people get their ideas out there, even when they felt impossible. Writers rarely run out of ideas. They lose momentum, courage, structure, friendship, or belief that they can finish. I launched Legend Fiction to help creative people thrive. Where faith-inspired storytellers embarks on the adventure of their lives.
