Brianna McMahon

First-time author Brianna McMahon met her ‎Developmental Editor, Salima Ali Khan, on Reedsy to ‎edit her book Hidden Ancestry in the Middle East. ‎Together, they developed a methodical approach to ‎address these critical human rights issues in the book. ‎Brianna McMahon and Salima Ali Khan bonded over ‎their shared experience with xenophobia and ‎Islamophobia. They both emphasized the crucial need ‎for positive voices of change within these ‎marginalized communities, which became the ‎backbone of curating the story. Brianna's goal is to ‎resonate with the next generation and foster a sense of ‎community, making the audience feel included and ‎part of the journey.‎
