I’m Leila
and I love stories

Storytelling has always been a major love in Leila’s life. It started with reading stories, shifted into writing her own stories, and now has transferred to working with other creatives on their stories.
She grew up in New York but loves a good novel that can transport her to different locations and time periods. Previously, she wrote articles for an online publication about movies and television. So writing with a cinematic quality will always appeal to her.
Leila loves digging in and dissecting what makes a story work and what areas need tweaking to make it truly sing. For her, characters are the beating pulse of a story, and she loves flawed, complex people to follow through hundreds of pages.
We focus on education and application of writing skills.
Your time with us is an investment in your growth as a writer, not just the improvement of your manuscript (although you’ll get that too!)
