Novelist, comics writer, and librarian based in Portland, Oregon.
You've found Sara Ryan's website. I write books and comics for teens and others, I work as a librarian, and I blog about any number of things, though estate sales, thrift stores, and my cat are recurring themes. Some things you can do here: listen to me read my first novel, Empress of the World, read some of the comics I've written, and find out what I got certificates of achievement for in 1983.

why is it that whenever a man does anything in the library or YA world, everyone goes nuts and overhypes it? (do not credit me!)

Do you write for yourself, or for your imagined reader?

Why did you have such a serious expression on your face while waiting for the traffic arrow to turn green this morning?
I passed and waved, but you were very focussed. Brow furrowed. Grrr. Serious. Grrr.

What’s the worst part about being a published author?

If, god forbid, you lost the use of your hands, would you rather write with a pen in your mouth (Mont Blanc or similar) or with a typewriter (old school, not electric) at your feet?
(I also just wanted to say that I absolutely adored Empress. One of the freshest, most engaging pieces of new lit I’d come across in a long time. Thanks for the great read (and re-read!).
