Will Mathison is an author, illustrator, director, public speaker, and philanthropist best known for the Battles of Liolia series he began at 10 years old.
In the 4th grade Will Mathison was inspired to raise funds in honor of his friend's little brother who was diagnosed with Leukemia. Over the following several months, Will wrote and illustrated the story he had been developing in his imagination since reading "The Chronicles of Narnia" in the second grade. In the 5th grade Will completed "The Last of Kal" which is the first of 5 books in "The Battles of Liolia" series and donated all proceeds to the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. So far, Will has been able to raise over $7000 for Relay in honor of Carter and all of those battling cancer.
By the 7th grade, Will had written and illustrated "The Inferno of Erif" and "The Curse of the Verse", the second and third books in "The Battles of Liolia" series. The fourth book in the series, "The Rise of Nuquam", was published in 2015, and expands the mythos of the fantasy world of Liolia. Once again, all the proceeds from these books are donated to Relay for Life in honor of his friends who have lost people they love to cancer.
In High School, Will continued developing and writing short stories, earned the rank of Eagle Scout, and was published in the Huffington Post. Doing school projects led him to recognize his love for filmmaking as a medium for storytelling, and he has two short films published on Youtube. He has also spoken at over a dozen schools and community events to motivate other students to find and pursue their passions. Will now attends the University of Georgia where he studies International Affairs and Economics. He is very appreciative of the support and encouragement from his teachers, family, and community.
