Who IS the Picture Book Doctor™?
I’m Ryan G. Van Cleave, Ph.D.–the author of 30+ books of my own, though I’ve ghostwritten, coached, edited, and consulted on dozens more.
I run the popular picture-book blog, Only Picture Books, and I’m a Contributing Editor for Writer’s Digest magazine.
How does this work?
Once your people have worked out the financial and intellectual property details with my people (I’m represented by a vice president at Curtis Brown, Ltd., a leading literary agency), I get to work.
Whether you’re seeking just a little help or someone who handles everything, I’m the go-to-go guy. I’m a teammate, trainer, and coach all in one.
What does this cost?
Each situation is unique–my goal is to exceed your expectations without breaking your budget.
There’s a reason I’ve become the industry’s go-to person in this area. Let’s have an exploratory conversation and you’ll see why.
