"Per a 2002 New York Times survey, 81% of Americans dream of writing a book, but most never start or finish. If you’re stuck on a napkin-scribbled idea, half-written chapter, or full manuscript, I’m here to help.

Hi, I’m Ryan, your creative writing coach. I’ll guide you to craft a novel, screenplay, memoir, or essay you’re proud of. I specialize in helping authors who’ve hit a wall, whether on page one or chapter ten. With 13 novels in Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Horror, Thrillers, Romance, YA, and Children’s stories, I’ll get you to “The End.”

I’m also deeply passionate about empowering veterans to share their stories—tales of combat, triumphs, memoirs of service, or gripping thrillers—honoring their legacy.

As a UCLA-trained screenwriter, I offer screenplay guidance, from loglines to punching-up dialogue and refining structure for pitch-ready scripts, ideal for filmmakers at any stage. My background includes a magna cum laude English Literature degree and Film Studies minor from University of the Pacific, plus proofreading JPL research papers, published by Oxford University Press. I’ve earned praise for writers’ group critiques and won a Feather River Writers’ Conference scholarship for a short story.

Whether you’re a teen with an essay, a veteran writing a memoir, or an adult shaping a screenplay or novel, my tutoring is collaborative and polished. From brainstorming to publishing, I’ll identify rough spots and offer clear fixes. Your story will shine. Contact me to start writing today!" less...
