There be Dragons: Dragons 101 with Dominic de Souza & Katy Campbell | The LegendFiction Show

Nov 23, 2022 | Latest, LegendHaven 2022, Shows

This talk will premiere on November 26, during our LegendHaven convention. Join us for the watch party and live Q&A afterward! http://legendhaven.com

Most people are terrified of the idea of dragons. And yes, we should be, because the idea of a dragon is meant to be frightening. But not everything we fear is evil. Dominic and Katy go back to basics with dragons in storytelling, the purpose of a symbol, and why context is critical to understand its meaning. Then they talk about the 3 kinds of dragons present in western tradition, and how modern day has gifted us a new kind of dragon that we must learn to honor and respect. Most importantly, we hope this panel and these opinions help parents, authors, and readers discuss dragons with greater nuance.

Meet Amelia Leedom, a LegendFiction Mentor & Romance Writer

Meet Amelia Leedom, a LegendFiction Mentor & Romance Writer

Mar 21, 2023

Amelia Leedom writes for many reasons. To relax, to make herself happy, but mostly she writes because she needs to get these ideas out of her head so she can sleep! Her stories range from romance, to bromance, to whatever-mance you can think of. When she’s not writing, Amelia can be found watching the best low-budget B movies Amazon has to offer, making her husband pay attention to her, or coming up with new story ideas as a way to procrastinate on the stories she is working on.
