Where Stories Unite, Communities Thrive

Every story finds a home where we ignite creativity, empower voices, and cultivate a community. Lasting Legacies ~ Timeless Treasures

Welcome Home

At Lionheart Guild Inc., we believe in the power of storytelling to connect, inspire, and transform lives. As a 501(c)3 nonprofit 509(a)(2) public charity dedicated to fostering literary arts and supporting diverse voices, we provide resources, opportunities, and a creative haven for writers and artists of all backgrounds.

Our mission is to cultivate a vibrant artistic and literary community through publishing, education, and engagement—from mini writers’ workshops to our groundbreaking Fremont County Read & Retreat Center, designed to be Wyoming’s first retreat and bookstore for writers, artists, and readers alike. With a strong commitment to supporting veterans, underrepresented authors, Indigenous voices, and underserved communities, we’re building a movement where literature empowers and creativity knows no bounds.

Join us in turning the page toward a brighter, more inclusive literary future — A Lasting Legacy — all in the heart of Wyoming.

Literacy in action

Stories that read themselves aloud

Children can curl up with a book that turns its own pages and reads aloud, word by word, then play cause-and-effect puzzles, draw their heroes and collect stamps in their Story Passport. Free for every family and classroom.

“As a disabled veteran and writer, I struggled for years to find the courage to tell my story. Lionheart Guild didn’t just give me support, they gave me a sense of belonging, purpose, and the tools to turn pain into power. Through their encouragement and guidance, I not only wrote my story, but I found the strength to publish it so that others might find the insight and courage to face their own trauma. Lionheart Guild changed my life, and I am forever grateful.”
