Escriba Articles Library, a literary arts internet company based in Phoenix, Arizona, is celebrating a decade in the literary arts during Black History Month. The company, founded by Liam M. West, specializes in multi-liberal arts mediums and aims to mentor children and teenagers worldwide.
West, a member of the Ohio Writers' Association and recipient of the Occupational Award of Leadership from the state of Georgia, began his writing career in elementary school. He has authored a children's song titled "If You're Sick Eat Watermelon" and a book called "Positive Relationships: Be the Best." His structured plan to support young people comes amid a decline in educational television programming, with Nickelodeon ratings dropping 86% from 2016 to 2023, according to Yahoo Entertainment News.
Escriba Articles Library's mission is to craft literary arts that elevate the spirit and develop the soul. The company has recently published its first science fiction fantasy short story, "The Green Locket: Essence of Destiny," via Amazon Kindle Direct. The story follows a young woman from a distant galaxy who discovers her destiny through a journey involving love, war, and magic.
West has plans to establish an online specialty library bookstore, release 19 children's songs with storylines on digital music platforms like Apple Music and Spotify, and publish 10 self-published books on databases such as Barnes & Noble. The company's Poshmark closet is also part of its marketing efforts.
Reflecting on his work, West stated, "I take pride in my work, and definitely humble myself. But I enjoy giving hope to those that need a helping hand." The company's motto, "A new thought empowers a change for our future," underscores its commitment to inspiring young minds through literature.
