She has won the esteemed Atorox award three times and she and co-author Eija Lappalainen have been nominated for the Finlandia Junior and Tähtivaeltaja awards for the novel Routasisarukset [Children of the Frost] (2011). The short story collection Kuulen laulun kaukaisen [I Can Hear a Distant Song] (2011), co-authored by Leinonen and Petri Laine, was also nominated for the Tähtivaeltaja award.

Her latest novel, Vaskinainen [The Brass Woman], was published in 2015 and mixes Finnish and international myths.
