There was a time when serious-minded people feared that television and movies would mean the end of books. The image, they believed, would kill the written word. We can understand their fear but time has shown the opposite to be true. The more our world is filled with images, the more words we need to explain them.

Indeed, it may be that the written word is more powerful today than at any time in human history. Books still shape our culture profoundly. The text of a single web site can be read by millions around the world. Even television news has found it necessary to run printed words at the bottom of the screen, not to mention that what the people on camera are often talking about is the text of a newspaper, a blog, or a book. Clearly, the printed word lives.

Chartwell Literary Group understands the power of words and is devoted to helping leaders wield the weapon of language. We stand with those who act on the stage of history as they use words to change culture. From the fashioning of books to the crafting of speeches, from the literature of a web site to the poetry of politics, Chartwell works to fit language to meaning and apply both to life.

We take for our symbol the image of Winston Churchill contemplating the world from his favorite perch at Chartwell, his beloved home in Kent, England. At Chartwell, this great man not only wrote the words that challenged the world and won him the Pulitzer Prize, but he rallied the band of thinkers, writers, leaders, and artists who warned the world of the Nazi peril and then led the West to victory.

Our purpose at Chartwell Literary Group is to enable creative and visionary souls to fulfill their literary dreams. If you find as you scan our web site that our vision resonates in your mind and our skills fit your needs, please contact us.
