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 2nd 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.

By the 7th grade, Will had written and illustrated "The Inferno of Erif" and "The Curse of the Verse", the 2nd and 3rd books in "The Battles of Liolia" series. The 4th book, "The Rise of Nuquam", was published in 2015 and expands the mythos of the fantasy world of Liolia. The series concluded with the publishing of the final book in "The Battles of Liolia" series, "The War for Caelum", at the start of 2020. Once again, all proceeds from these books are donated to cancer research organizations like 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 and was published in the Huffington Post.
