Annabella Farmer

Annabella Farmer is a writer, educator, and editor who splits her time between Minneapolis, Minnesota and Santa Fe, New Mexico. Her reporting has been published in outlets across the Western U.S. and seen in national media including USA Today and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. She is a contributing writer for the Santa Fe Reporter, where she has been writing a monthly books and literature column since 2021. 

Born and raised in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Annabella earned a BFA in Creative Writing at the Institute of American Indian Arts, where she re-launched and co-edited the IAIA Chronicle. Her fiction and essays have appeared in the Santa Fe Literary Review, After the Pause, and the IAIA Anthology, among other publications.

Annabella works with authors to develop their writing—whether fiction, nonfiction or academic—into what they’ve always dreamed it could be. She is a teaching artist with the Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis, and loves working with writers who play in the dirt. When she’s not working, you can find her volunteering at Boneshaker Books, playing the banjo (poorly), adding to her collection of frog-related tchotchkes, or updating her Substack.
