Anna Crowley Redding

Anna Crowley Redding brings investigative reporting methods to nonfiction for young readers. Feiwel and Friends issued Elon Musk during 2019 with the expanded title Elon Musk: A Mission to Save the World, tracing the entrepreneur’s path through PayPal, Tesla, and SpaceX while explaining the ambitions and controversies surrounding his companies. Redding frames technical ventures through reported episodes, photographs, timelines, and accessible explanations rather than treating innovation as an abstract idea. Before writing books, she worked as a television journalist and received Edward R. Murrow, Associated Press, and Emmy recognition. Her later titles include Google It, a history of the search company, and Black Hole Chasers, about scientists seeking the first image of a black hole. Macmillan identifies these works as part of a career focused on subjects shaping science and technology. In Elon Musk, Redding connects one public figure’s biography to electric vehicles, commercial spaceflight, energy, and the way large technological promises are communicated to a young audience.
