Leanna's philosophy centers on the transformative power of stories and the importance of creating spaces where literature comes alive. She believes that bookshops are more than retail spaces—they're community gathering places where readers discover not just new books, but new aspects of themselves.

Her bilingual approach reflects her commitment to serving the diverse community of Estepona, from local Spanish families to international expats, ensuring that the magic of reading transcends language barriers.

Supporting Fellow Writers: Having experienced the challenges of the writing journey firsthand, giving back to other writers is deeply important to Leanna. Through the Luna & Leaf Literary Fellowship Program, Spain Culture Abroad and Luna & Leaf Bookshop provide emerging and established writers with dedicated time, space, and inspiration in coastal Spain. She believes in investing in the storytellers who enrich our world—from debut novelists to seasoned authors, playwrights, and screenwriters—because every great story deserves the chance to find its way to the page.
