I’m so thrilled to share the beautiful cover for the German edition of INKBOUND. Publishing with DTV Verlag in March, 2025!

I’m delighted to share that INKBOUND got a starred review from Publishers Weekly!

“Lush writing, breathtaking action sequences, and a darkly comedic tone imbue Leathley’s series opening debut with verve, while ethical questions relating to fate and magic add depth to the innovative setting.”

I've been lucky enough to be involved in EmpathyLab’s Masterclass for Authors this year. It’s been an amazing experience, and I intend to take everything I’ve learned about encouraging children (and adults) to develop their empathy superpowers and apply it to future school visits.

I'm delighted to share the beautiful cover for the US edition of my debut novel INKBOUND, publishing with Clarion Books next year on January 28th. I'm so grateful to Julia Tyler for the amazing design and to the phenomenal Devin Elle Kurtz for her gorgeous artwork. I love it so much, especially the solar birds!

I'm so excited to share the cover of my debut novel INKBOUND: METICULOUS JONES AND THE SKULL TATTOO. Publishing 30th of January 2025.

I'm hugely grateful to HarperCollins Children’s Books for their gorgeous trailer and to the incredibly talented Brie Schmida for her stunning cover design.

It’s very surreal but wonderful to announce my upcoming book deal for my debut middle grade fantasy INKBOUND. Publishing with HarperCollins Children’s Books in the UK and Clarion Books in the US, January 2025.
