Mission Statement
Our mission is to heal, improve, and enhance the lives of young people through the majesty of writing their own book!
Description
CEO David Chappell founded Literary Legacies due to the tremendous health benefits he found through writing his own book, Age of the Great Prophets. Chappell fought back against his mental and physical diseases by implating these illnesses into his main characters. After finishing his book, he decided he wanted to use this technique with young people struggle through their own life issues. Incorporated in 2017, Literary Legacies will soon have published four books with a fifth soon to be completed by the end of summer. We have 12 students in the program, each writing their own unique fictional novels. Our goal is to enact a cultural revolution where children are able to write 140 pages and not just 140 characters! Our first student, Riyani Patel, who wrote The Boy Battle, has sold over 500 copies of her book! Join us to help inspire the next generation of award-winning authors.
