The whole community was encouraging, supportive, and really involved. They’re an amazing group of people and writers who are passionate about what they do. I loved the daily check-ins and reading everyone’s updates. Whether someone had a great day or a rough one, there was always support and encouragement from the group. I liked the encouragement a lot, and posting each day was a little motivation to keep writing. I actually found it helpful to have a friend of mine read what I read each day. I had someone who I could share the story and passion with, and it helped me to want to write more. I can't believe it's the end of the month already! This month, I completed 20, 759 words. I got further along than I anticipated. I've loved these short little videos and hearing what people are working on. ❤ Good job everyone! 🎉 What I liked about this challenge, was that it kept my momentum, and provided me with a lot of short, inspiration videos each day. It made me accountable each day, sharing my word count, while also encouraging others and celebrating in their successes. I am so glad I was able to participate in LegendFiction’s second Writing Month Challenge, and I will certainly be here for the next. Great job everyone, and keep being awesome! ❤️ I finished writing my book draft! It was more important to me to just build the daily habit. Thanks to everyone for your encouragement along the way. It's been fun. And congratulations to you all! 👏 This has been a good ride with y'all, and helpful to me with getting consistent writing off the ground again. Go team! I managed to build a daily writing habit, which was one of my biggest goals! More than hitting a certain word count, I wanted to write every day and establish that routine. I think the biggest lesson I learned is that writing consistently is far more important than the number of words you end up with. And even on the days you can’t write, your mind is still working through ideas. Life happens—you miss days, you need rest, and that’s okay. I definitely need it sometimes. I also realized how much being part of a friendly, supportive community like LegendFiction helped me stay motivated and actually get things done. The hosts and moderators were fantastic. I’m really glad I took part in this challenge. Start the LegendFiction Writing Month Challenge: Build a habit of writing for 30 days! Next Group Challenge: November 1, 2026 Recap of the May 30-Day Challenge Some writers crossed major milestones: Lumena finished the month with 20,759 words, farther than she expected to get. Mickey Kelly hit a clean 32,000 words. K. G. Stevenson wrote 1,207 words on the final day and ended at 30,167 for the month. Brittany Lasseigne came in at 30,009 words.

One guided conversation becomes a polished six-part video series, a clearer author identity, and a library of assets you can use across your website, newsletter, launches, and media appearances. Built for authors with meaningful work and an unclear public presence. You wrote the book. Explaining why it matters is harder. Many authors have strong stories, deep ideas, and years of experience. Their website still feels generic. Their bio sounds flat. Their videos ramble. Their audience sees a book, yet misses the person, philosophy, and world behind it. You need a coherent public version of yourself, captured with clarity and packaged with professional credibility. Six conversations that reveal the author behind the books. Each episode answers a question readers, interviewers, event organizers, and future fans already want answered. Your Origin Story Why you became an author, what called you into storytelling, and what keeps you creating. Your Story World The worlds, characters, genres, and experiences that define your creative identity. What Your Stories Mean The questions, hopes, themes, and convictions beneath the plot. What You Believe What you believe about stories, readers, creativity, publishing, and the work authors are called to do. Where Readers Begin A compelling introduction to the book, series, or project that welcomes new readers into your work. What Comes Next The future you are building and the clearest next step for readers who want to follow your work. One conversation. A complete authority library. Your interview becomes a suite of finished assets designed to make you easier to discover, understand, feature, and trust. This is more than video production. You already have meaningful work. This process helps you see what makes it valuable, articulate it clearly, and package it so other people can see it too. Find the language Your ideas are drawn out, clarified, and shaped into language people can remember. Build the credibility You gain professional media that signals seriousness, authority, and public readiness. Save the months You bypass the long learning curve of interviewing, filming, editing, branding, and packaging. A focused process with a clear finish line. Complete the author brief Share your books, themes, audience, background, goals, and current brand language. Record the conversation A guided 60 to 75-minute interview uncovers the strongest ideas behind your work. Receive the series Your conversation becomes a polished, branded library of authority assets. For authors who want to make an amazing first-impression for interviews and connect with their readers This may be a poor fit when: You have a published book, active manuscript, series, or established body of work. You struggle to explain what makes your stories distinctive. Your website or media kit lacks strong video. You want to appear credible before interviews, launches, events, or collaborations.

This is what some authors crave: soundtracks without boundaries. AI is here to to stay. But most authors don't know how AI can be a help to their creativity.

Here, everyone shares the book they'd like the group to read. Like a game show, the top 3 share why they nominate that book. The room votes on the best pitch! The best pitch wins a gift basket (chocolate, cozy things, or reader goodies...) everything you need for a perfect night in with a great book. Then you can read as much or as little as you want. We meet twice a month. Come to make friends. Come to find your next favorite story. Come and sit quietly in the back — that's allowed too. This is the book club built around the people first, and the nerds perform for goodies. Normal book clubs give you a book and a deadline. You either finish it or you feel bad. Most people feel bad... So we did something different. 🔥 A Real Author. Every Single Month. Featured authors with LegendFiction read aloud a selection from their latest novel, while members volunteer to role-play the voices. Some authors may gift a free book to attendees who show up... One Month. Two Epic Books. Here's exactly what happens every single month. Live Game Show + Featured Author Members nominate popular book titles in a live poll. Everyone votes. The top 3 nominees pitches the room to pick their title. The room votes again for the winer. (Best pitch wins the gift basket!) A featured author reads one of their chapters aloud, and the audience role-plays the character voices. Read at Your Own Pace Now that the people have decided on the book of the month... you decide how much you want to read! A chapter. Half the book. The whole thing. Up to you. No check-ins. No quizzes. Have fun. Featured Book Week Everyone joins a social meetup with speed meetings. Then members who read the book read the first chapter aloud together (maybe role-play the voices). All are welcome! Monthly Snap Vote A quick poll asks for reader feedback: Did you finish the book? Did you read something else this month? Share fast, honest answers live, to vet the book for the back of the room. Find your next read among friends! 👑 Ready to join the Book Club of Legends? We meet every first and third Thursday night for a live, one-of-a-kind meetup, unlike any book club you've ever tried. Come once for free. Stay for $5 a month. Once we have 25 members on this waitlist, we'll send out invites! We... Reinvented the Book Club?! We read every complaint people have about book clubs... and just might have fixed it!

"It’s not a dry course or a rigid program—it feels like stepping into Hogwarts, a world alive with mentors, magic, and fellow creators who make you want to grow as an author." 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 has been the complete writing package for me. Legend Fiction provided me with the resources to publish my first book, and the motivation, support, and mentorship to publish my second in under two years. I love how Dominic and the Legend Fiction community push me to achieve my maximum writing potential. Legend Fiction is awesome!!!"

Your every story opens new a world, every draft levels you up, and every finished book proves you can travel farther than before. You're an author, and that means worlds without end. Write the novel you've been dreaming about. Many writers feel caught between harsh critique spaces, shallow commercial pressure, and narrow ideas about what meaningful fiction should be. We’re inspired by the best stories in the world, and the deep roots of story from myth, religion, and magic. We exist to help and heal the next generation of epic authors. When culture crashes, storytellers are first-responders. Storytelling is how souls survive. To do this, we anchor in meaning, morality, myths, and magic. LegendFiction exists because the modern world is burning out creators… When meaning collapses, cynicism, apathy, and worse, take over. We need better stories. We need more stories. When culture collapses, storytellers are first responders. We are building a better world for a future we believe in with story, friendship, and creativity. And… because it’s fun for worlds without end. You know the stories you heard about authors? The lovers of Jedi, wizards, demigods, dragonborn, hobbits, heroes, aliens… Well, they’re real. If you ever feel like you don’t fit, like the world doesn’t make sense, and you’re tired of ‘edgy just to be cool,’ then you might be a part of our world. You might have the calling of legend. So don’t give up. We might need you. We are a group of nerds and authors who know fiction matters. Other communities try to write classics. Others create without consequences. Others want highbrow literature. We want dragons. ‘Nuff said. Every life needs meaning. It's essential for purpose. Let’s build a future we believe in . Meaning matters Moral good We have to live in a way that helps human thriving. Fiction field-tests imagination. Mythic stories Myths are the timeless truths across cultures that don't let us go, and keep coming back. Magical world The world is enchanted and magical, and fiction helps us see that again. A living creative world Houses, roles, shared lore, themed events, and LegendHaven give the community a place in the imagination. Find your fellowship A smaller, founder-led culture where writers can know each other, write together, and receive human feedback.
