Matt Newnham is a British author, writer, and creative thinker best known for his children’s book series Space Ranger Fred. With a background in marketing, storytelling, and communication, Matt brings imagination to life through engaging characters and adventurous tales that spark curiosity and inspire young minds.

Space Ranger Fred was born from Matt’s passion for STEM learning and his belief that education can be exciting and fun. Blending science, humour, and heart, his stories are written to encourage problem-solving, teamwork, and creativity in children aged 7 to 12.

Matt’s writing career spans over a decade and includes business content, motivational speaking, and scriptwriting. With a love for space, technology, and innovation, he works closely with illustrators, animators, and educators to turn his books into a multi-platform learning and entertainment experience.

When he’s not writing, Matt enjoys countryside walks, science documentaries, and coffee-fuelled brainstorming sessions. He lives in West Sussex, UK, and continues to build stories that matter.
