He has also authored a dozen unpublished children’s picturebook manuscripts for which he is seeking representation to traditional publishers. While he continues to self-publish much of his work, Ryan believes illustrated children’s books benefit enormously from the distribution, design, and production values of the best of traditional publishing.
