Le O’Kean

Introducing Leigh O’Kean (she prefers Le), a young luminary in the literary realm, currently weaving narratives as an associate editor at Tree Fort Books. Hailing from the cornfields of Illinois, Leigh’s recent degree in English and Literature serves as the foundation for her creative prowess. She freelanced throughout college, and has done significant ghostwriting.

She understands tree forts and reading, having spent many hours playing in the area woods with a paperback in her back pocket.

In her eclectic apartment adorned with an array of houseplants, Leigh finds inspiration amid the greenery. Her trusty parakeet (we’re told she isn’t trustworthy, but it sounds good), Roses, adds a whimsical note to the vibrant atmosphere. With a love for the classics deeply rooted in her literary DNA, Leigh’s favorite tomes include “Sense and Sensibility,” “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes,” and books by Mark Twain.

Beyond her editorial endeavors, Leigh is crafting her inaugural masterpiece—a distinctive romcom that promises to defy conventions. At the intersection of creativity, classic literature, and a touch of the unconventional, Leigh O’Kean is poised to leave an indelible mark on the literary landscape at Tree Fort Books.
