Hi, I’m Ryan L. Smith

a fantasy and sci-fi author, storyteller, and the creative mind behind RyanLSmithBooks.com, Mythic Quill Studios, and Mythic Quill Publishing.

I write stories for readers who love quiet magic, epic adventures, ancient secrets, and a touch of dry humor. Whether it’s starlight foxes and mysterious journals in Phineas Fitch and the Curious Chest, or dragonkin and dark fantasy joyrides in Whispers of the Fallen, my work is all about wonder, legacy, and stories that linger long after the last page.

But stories don’t just live on the page anymore. They echo through audiobooks, podcasts, visual storytelling, and live events — and I want to bring mine to life in as many forms as possible.

That’s why I’m building a small home studio and preparing for upcoming book signings and events. I’ve set a fundraising goal of $1,500 to help cover the cost of creative gear and materials, including:

🎙️ A quality microphone and portable sound booth

🟩 A green screen and proper lighting

🎥 A video camera setup for vlogs and character features

💻 Studio software and editing tools

📚 Materials and marketing supplies for live signings and conventions

Your support helps me create:

🎧 Video blogs, podcast-style updates, and behind-the-scenes lore and content

Every donation helps move the studio — and the stories — forward. Your support goes directly toward the tools, tech, and materials I need to expand the worlds I’ve been building.

💬 Not able to donate right now?
You can still support the journey by buying my books or leaving a review on Goodreads. Reviews help new readers discover my work — and every single one truly makes a difference.

If you’ve enjoyed my books, I’d be honored to have you along for the journey as a subscriber or occasional donor.

💚 Thank you for helping bring these stories to life.
~ Ryan L. Smith
