Briana Farr – Editor

I have been a professional editor for more than a decade, with experience in technical editing as well as commercial publishing. With a master's degree in publishing from The George Washington University and my time spent as an Acquisitions Editor, I am knowledgeable of the publishing industry's editorial processes and needs. Fiction is my main area of expertise, and fantasy is my favorite genre.

All stages of editing are important, from developmental editing to proofreading, and I can help with them all. I have a keen eye for what a book needs, and I aim to provide feedback in a helpful and encouraging way to help an author progress in their writing. I love helping make an author's dreams come true more than anything, and would be thrilled to help you!

Personally I am a big nerd that loves science fiction and fantasy, has two super cute kids and an awesome husband, and thinks bookmarks are for quitters. I love the book process, and miss working directly in publishing something fierce. However, freelance editing helps connect me to the kind of editing I love to do so much, while still being able to enjoy time with my family. Thank you for your consideration!

Author Reviews:

"I have developed a sincere respect for her role as my editor, as she was always there to take my call, answer my questions, and return emails promptly. Honestly, if I owned a publishing house she would be my first candidate. Any group or association would be privileged to have her represent their organization with her honesty and integrity. I would wholeheartedly recommend Briana to any publisher looking for top talent." - Dennis Schleicher, Literary Agent, author of Is He Nuts?

"Briana worked with me for more than a year as the editor of my high fantasy novel. I found her to be highly competent and pleasant to work with. She was fully invested in helping improve my story. Her feedback and suggested edits were well-considered and always brought greater depth and polish to the story. Her input was indispensable, and I wish I could retain her services permanently." - Arden Emil, author of Heritage of Loss.
