Coming Soon: LegendHaven Magazine: The coolest storytellers talking about the best stories in the world
The volunteers from LegendFiction writing community are launching a quarterly magazine. If all goes well, it will come after our annual October convention!
Each issue gives you book reviews (+ games and movies!), highlights new fiction and indie authors, and talks about the best stories in the world.
All must-reads, must-see, and must-games, from our community members. And more.
We’re calling it LegendHaven Magazine. We’re working on it landing in late fall.
Full-color. 50-page publication. Released four times a year.
It will start as a PDF you can download and print off. Or a print-on-demand magazine that can ship to your door.
When it gets bigger and better, we’ll upgrade it to a subscription. More on that in the future.
Who’s the team behind the LegendHaven magazine?
The magazine comes from the LegendFiction community, a community for the coolest writers and readers in the world.
Founded by
, it began as an online convention in 2021.Dominic looks like he wandered out of an author’s worldbuilding bootcamp: dark curls, collared shirt, notebooks that barely close from doodles and dreams. Born across oceans and raised on world mythology, he now builds communities that feel like monasteries wrapped in fandoms. He talks about fiction the way some talk about faith: not as escape, but as the long road home. He’s nuts.
“We’re building the community and magazine we wish we had as teens,” says
. “A place to find new authors, make new friends, and write stories that matter.”Gabi Batel grins like a elfish saint of storytelling, who swapped her halo for something with plot twists. She writes YA thrillers with bite and heart, the kind that dare you to feel something sharp and then sit with it. Equal parts adrenaline and awe, she edits like she’s wielding a scalpel and a sparkler at the same time. She’s nuts too.
LegendHaven is made by authors and storytellers who can’t sit still.
This magazine is for high schoolers, college students, and adults — readers who get why we need grimdark fiction, anti-heroes, and complex narratives.
“Sometimes we fangirl like the best of them,” says Gabi. “Sometimes we drop hot-takes about what we hated. But we always ask: what can we learn (without moralizing)?”
“We’re not interested in preachy, ‘safe’ stuff,” says Dominic. “No tame lions here. We’re charging into all the pop culture and booktoks we know and love— to challenge it, learn from it, and build a future we believe in.
“We’re meeting up people inside the stories they already love — and offer new worlds to get lost in.” - Dominic
Built by Volunteers, Fueled by Awesome
The magazine is launching as volunteer-driven dream, a labor of love from writers and readers within the LegendFiction network.
Despite limited resources, the team is building with professional care — editorial spreads, stunning design, and a strong ethos that reflects the community’s aesthetic: ludicrously epic.
LegendFiction’s writing school, online community, and anthology projects continue to grow.
LegendHaven Magazine is shaping up to be the beating heart of the movement.
Fiction matters. Because when culture crashes, storytellers are the first-responders.
