Anna Todd

Anna Renee Todd (born March 20, 1989) is an American author, film producer, and screenwriter. She is best known for writing the book series After, which she started publishing on the social storytelling platform Wattpad.[1] The print edition of the series was published by Gallery Books,[2] and has been translated into several languages. In 2018, Todd went on to open her own production company, Frayed Pages. In 2021, she announced her own imprint in partnership with Wattpad. Career Todd's writing was initially inspired by the music and fandom of One Direction, and the singer Harry Styles is a model for the protagonist in her After series, under the name Hardin Scott.[3] She started by writing stories on her phone with the Wattpad app in 2013, publishing a chapter almost daily for over a year. Todd wrote three books in the After series on Wattpad.[1] The series has sometimes been compared to the Fifty Shades trilogy as both series had their start as fan fiction.[4][1] Reviewers at the website Jezebel criticized the series and stated that it "echoes the troubling dynamics of 50 Shades," as they felt that Hardin's character "behaves at best like a prick, at worst like an abusive boyfriend in the making."[5] In 2015, Todd announced that she would be publishing Before, a prequel novel that tells the events of After from the perspective of Hardin Scott.[4] Her next book, The Spring Girls, a re-telling of Louisa May Alcott's Little Women,[6] was published in 2018. In October 2014, Paramount Pictures acquired film rights[7] to the After series with Offspring Entertainment (Step Up franchise, Rock of Ages) set to produce. The film, based on her first book, was eventually released by Aviron Pictures on April 12, 2019. Josephine Langford portrays Tessa, the female protagonist, and Hero Fiennes Tiffin portrays Hardin, the male protagonist
