"Leila is a sensitivity reader with a particular adoration for all things bold."
A wild child of the chaotic arts, Leila is a creative soul with a proclivity for colorful, vivid imagery in her artwork and writing. She enjoys bold, brilliant splashes of color in everything and anything.
When not nose-deep in a book, she can be found playing video games and writing critical analyses on the pop culture/media she consumes. She really enjoy delving into the worlds magicked up by authors, and would be ever so delighted to help give honest feedback that helps authors think critically about their own work with fresh eyes and a different perspective.
