Eric Moskowitz is the author of The Hardest, Longest Race: Henry Ford and the Cross-Country Contest That Changed America, a narrative nonfiction account of ambition and subterfuge at the dawn of the automobile age. 

A veteran newspaper reporter, Eric spent 12 years at The Boston Globe, including three on the transportation beat. He shared in the Pulitzer Prize for the Globe’s coverage of the Boston Marathon bombing and its aftermath, won the National Headliner Award for feature writing, and served as one of the lead reporters on "The Valedictorians Project," a Pulitzer finalist examining obstacles to college and career success for many top Boston Public Schools graduates. 

Eric has written for The Atlantic and The New York Times, and his stories have been featured in The Best American Sports Writing and The Best American Newspaper Narratives anthologies. He studied American history at the University of Pennsylvania, where he wrote a thesis on college basketball and fell in love with journalism at The Daily Pennsylvanian. 

Eric lives near Boston with his wife and two sons and now works by day as a staff writer at Harvard. When not diving down rabbit holes or writing stories, Eric can be found in the balcony at TD Garden (as a second-generation Celtics season-ticket holder), helping to coach youth soccer, and hunting for antique postcards.
