Peter Ryan

Literary Agent & Vice President

Peter Ryan is a lifelong reader of comic books and graphic novels. His first comics were a big box of silver and golden age comics that were handed down from a friend’s older brother. The comics were tattered, torn and in pieces but they were the best thing he had ever seen.

His interests are classic sci-fi, adventure, contemporary stories of life, mysteries, thrillers and really good books that keep him up at night thinking. He is currently looking for stories that are steeped in diverse cultures and families that show the rich tapestry that is our national and global community. He is also looking for stories that delve into LGBTQ and gender identity, again because he wants to show how broad our cultural composition really is.

Pete worked on Wall St. for 15 minutes straight out of college. He spent a few years working in the video game industry on titles like Guitar Hero, Call of Duty, and in some of the Marvel Universe. He also worked in construction and IT. 

When Pete isn't working he can be found playing with his wife, son and two dogs, catching a few minutes on the Xbox, or tinkering with RC car projects. When it snows you will probably find him in a pair of skis somewhere.

Pete has been with the Stimola Literary Studio since 2012. He represents only graphic novel authors and illustrators. Pete also manages the business and operations of the company.
