Ryan Meservey Bio


Ryan Meservey is a Bay Area author and founder of the publishing house, Fountain Grass. He loves beautiful children’s books, and he felt inspired to write his own through conversations with his four-year-old son. Ryan has a BA in English and a J.D. from Stanford Law School. 


Ryan made his debut as a children’s book author with two books. The first, (Almost) Everyone Can Wear a Dress, is a wild tale of inclusion with a humorous twist. The second, I Am a Rock, is described as a mindful celebration of being alive. When he isn’t writing or storyboarding children’s books, Ryan works as a tax lawyer for Baker & McKenzie.
