Laila Sabreen

Laila Sabreen is a young adult contemporary writer who was raised in the Washington, DC area. She is a graduate of Emory University and is pursuing her PhD in English literature. Her love of writing began as a love of reading, which started when she used to take weekly trips to her local library. There she fell in love with the Angelina Ballerina series, so much so that she started to write Angelina Ballerina fanfiction at the age of five (though she did not know it was fanfiction at the time). Her debut YA contemporary novel is You Truly Assumed. When she isn’t writing, she can be found reading, creating playlists that are way too long, and watching reality TV.
