Leila Sales Austin, TX

I'm the author of a number of young adult and middle grade novels, most recently THE MUSEUM OF LOST AND FOUND (Abrams, 2023). I spent more than a decade as a children's book editor at Penguin, and I now run a book development business called the Book Engineer (www.thebookengineer.com). When I'm not writing, I'm probably sleeping, feeling guilty, or both.
