Who This Author Is
Ann Love writes with clear curiosity about work and the people who do it. In Fishing (America at Work), she explores the rhythms of commercial and recreational fishing, focusing on daily routines, tools, and the communities that rely on the water for livelihoods, giving young readers a grounded view of the industry.
Her approach blends plainspoken reporting with accessible detail: processes such as gear preparation, catch handling, and seasonal changes are presented step by step. Love’s narrative favors concrete scenes and practical information, inviting readers to understand the labor and environment shaping fishing life without romanticizing it.
