Joshua Farmer is a multi-awarded senior copywriter, editor, and author, and he is ready to partner with you on your next project. He champions simplicity, clarity, and excellence in all things; shoddy is not his cup of tea.

This commitment has allowed him to build a roster of work that includes Apple Inc., Martina Flor, Laura Worthington, Tobias Frere-Jones, Underware, Neil Summerour, Google, Joana Correia, TypeTogether, the Association Typographique Internationale (ATypI), 365Typo Volume 1 and 2, Roger Black and TYPE Magazine, Type Network, as TypeCon workshop instructor, and many others.

Josh’s wide-ranging background and interests help him approach text from the perspective of a designer and design from the mindset of an editor. He has worked on branding, researched and chosen typefaces to set a tone, taught about writing and editing and using type, and even played drums on an album. With ten books to his ghostwriting and editing credit, an Advertising Artist’s Guild Award, a nursing degree, and a graphic design degree, this perpetual learner likes to stay productive.

Josh makes his home amidst an arts resurgence in America’s silicon prairie, Kansas City, where he has taught typography and design at the renowned Kansas City Art Institute (KCAI).
