About Amy Ryan

Creative Director overseeing a dynamic and talented children\'s books design team that works across many formats published by HarperCollins, including Picture Books, Graphic Novels, Novelty, Middle Grade/Teen Fiction and Licensing/Media Tie-ins. I led the creative team behind best-selling books like Veronica Roth\'s Divergent, Soman Chainani\'s The School for Good & Evil, and the Newbery Honor-winning The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate. I love finding new illustrators and cultivating new talent to diversify our list, and I enjoy the challenge of making each book look unique and stand out from the competition.The Children’s Design department produces over 350 books across all different formats a year.
