Hello! I'm Ryan - an editor, designer, writer, and general literary busybody, based in Glasgow, Scotland.
I'm currently open to work on everything bookish, from project management, developmental and structural editing, to line-level proofing, cover design, typesetting, pre-print production and ePub generation.
Over fifteen years I've worked on fiction, non-fiction, poetry, reviews, tabletop role-playing games, zines, anthologies, and photo books. I've collaborated with indie publishers, self-published authors, universities and literary collectives. I’ve designed identities for book festivals, created literary mentorship schemes, worked as a printer and bookseller, and I've even been known to throw a book launch or two.
With a comprehensive knowledge of the lifecycle of a publication, I've a broad set of skills that can assist at any point of the book production process.
Clients include 404 Ink, Lethe Press, Gutter Magazine, Paisley Book Festival, Paisley Arts Festival, The Saltire Society, Bona Books, Freight Books, Taproot Press, Maastricht University, Marburg University and Go Faster Stripe. Give me a shout if you'd like to join the club!
