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.

We’ve seen some third-party websites list our books at inflated prices—sometimes over $50—without our permission. These listings are not authorized and may misrepresent the quality, availability, or value of our titles.

As the author and CEO of Mythic Quill Studios & Mythic Quill Publishing, I do not approve of these listings. They misrepresent both my personal brand and the creative standards we uphold as a storytelling studio and publishing imprint.

To ensure you're receiving an official edition at a fair price, please purchase directly through Amazon.

If you come across a listing that seems unusually high, it’s likely a reseller inflating the cost for profit. We strongly discourage buying from these sources.
