🔥 Who this is for (and who it’s not)
You want to write. You need to write.
Not just tinker with it on weekends or collect half-finished chapters in your Google Drive. You want to finish something real. A novel. A set of stories. Something that matters.
And you want help to enjoy doing it well.
So when we looked at other writing courses, we were horrified at what’s out there.
Writers were thrilled just to get a generic video, a dusty forum, and maybe—maybe—some feedback in six weeks. (That’s like ordering a steak and getting a photo of a cow.)
Fee structures seem designed to drain your bank account more than build your skill.
Most writers stay stuck for years, and it’s not because they lack talent. It’s because they don’t have a path. Without structure, feedback, and community, it’s way too easy to give up.
So we built that path. This program exists to make sure you don’t give up.
As full time authors, novelists, and professional nerds, Dominic (the LegendFiction founder) and Gabi (our inhouse editor) want to help build up the coolest storytellers in the world.
Our Creative Writing School is built to work with your busy life—so even if you’re juggling laundry, loud kids, and a commute, you can still make real progress without losing your mind (or manuscript).
In your first month, you’ll develop your characters, write your first scenes, and get live expert feedback.
By month 3, you’ll have 2–3 finished chapters or short stories.
By month 6, your story structure will be locked in and halfway done.
You won’t have to wait months to feel progress—you’ll be submitting, revising, and sharing new work in the first few weeks.
We’re turning everything we’ve learned into a program to help authors.
Our community members tripled their writing output, are finishing their first complete works, working with traditional publishers, and self-publishing their books!
Plus, it’s perfect for homeschool teens.
Can you imagine your high school teens excited about a creative writing course that counts as school, and will help them get jobs in the future? Want this writing club to be more than an extracurricular activity?
By enrolling your home school teens in this course, parents can assign a full credit for extra curricular activities on the high school transcript. Colleges love to see that.
When your teen joins this course, they’re going to get better, get feedback, stop procrastinating, learn from published authors, join workshops and challenges, be pushed to think about themselves and their writing more deeply, finish their stories and novels, stimulate their creativity, start getting used to the publication and revision process, and get in the groove of regular writing – so that they actually improve!
That’s because we built something better.

🙅♀️ Who This Isn’t For
LegendFiction Writing School isn’t for everyone, and that’s on purpose. This probably isn’t for you if:
You’re a “vibe writer” that lets AI to do most of the work for you
You’re not ready to commit to regular writing and honest feedback
You want to deconstruct all the rules instead of learn them
You want a passive course where you can stay in the background and never show up, and get a certificate anyway.
We’re here to help serious, heart-driven authors create work they’re proud of.
🫵 This School Is for You If...
You want real guidance, structure, and a mentor who’ll actually tell you what’s working and what isn’t.
You’ve got folders full of unfinished drafts, abandoned outlines, and “I’ll come back to this later” ideas. You’re finally ready to finish something real.
You’re here to become a better writer, someone who tells stories that matter.
You’re tired of being the only one in your life who gets it—who cares about characters like they’re alive, who obsesses over metaphors, and who wants their stories to matter. You want a community that speaks your language.
You believe writing is a calling, not just a hobby—and you're ready to treat it that way.
🔥 We’re Starting with a 10-Student Cohort

❓ FAQ
Q: Can I join at any time?
Yes! Each month starts a new topic, so you can begin whenever you're ready and continue for 12 months. You can stop and renew at any time.
Q: What if I fall behind?
That’s okay. The fourth week of every month is “off” for catching up, rest, or revision.
Q: Is this for beginners or experienced writers?
Both. We tailor coaching and feedback to your experience level.

No, but our environment is rooted in our core values, and open to all who respect and resonate with our focus.
