Meet the Team
We lived the querying nightmare — the confusing spreadsheets, the endless waiting, the silence. So we built the platform we always wished existed.
Ryan built Taper after seeing firsthand how broken the submission process was for both sides of the desk. A technologist with deep roots in storytelling, he's obsessed with building tools that make creative work feel less like a second job.
Abby turns ideas into features. She brings both technical precision and a deep empathy for users to every line of code she writes — making sure Taper feels as good to use as it looks.
Sierra is an agented author who knows the querying journey from the inside. With a background in marketing, she's the bridge between Taper's story and the writers and agents it was built for.
