Meet Our Storytellers

Ryan L. Smith may be a new voice in publishing, but his stories are anything but ordinary. He writes fantasy, science fiction, and adventure tales for middle grade, young adult, and curious readers of all ages—stories that blend quiet magic, layered mysteries, and just enough mischief to make you grin… or cry, depending on the page.

Inspired by mythology, folklore, and the strange wonders hiding in everyday life, Ryan crafts immersive worlds full of wonder and what-ifs. His characters linger, his plots twist, and his pacing pulls you ever forward. He’s fueled by black coffee, dad jokes, and a suspiciously encyclopedic knowledge of sci-fi and fantasy.

Ryan is also the founder of Mythic Quill Studios and Mythic Quill Publishing, a creative imprint devoted to strange and wonderful stories that color outside the lines.

These aren’t just books. They’re gateways to the wild, the weird, and the quietly wondrous—built for curious minds and brave hearts of all ages.
