Ryan Melsom was raised in Kamloops, British Columbia, and has since lived in cities across Canada. He pursues creative work with little regard for divisions among different media, having focused at different times in his life on punk music, painting, digital art, book design, poetry, fiction, web design, programming, scholarly work, professional interviewing, karate, business development, and many things in between. Clickbait is the first official publication of Ryan’s small press project Hintonburg + Page and his third book. He currently lives in Ottawa with his wife Elisabeth and sons, John and Sam. To keep up with his work and thoughts, you can follow him on Facebook or Bluesky @ryanmelsom.com. He also blogs in random intervals at ryanmelsom.com/blog.
