Hi, I’m Leyla.

I acquire a wide range of romance for Harlequin’s trade and digital programs, with an emphasis on reader trends and emerging subgenres.

ABOUT ME

I’m a queer, Middle Eastern editor with exceptional market knowledge and an obsession with all things pop culture. I like my coffee iced, my bookshelf color-coded, and my romance swoon-worthy.
