This German native joined the Relay family in the summer of 2018 to support our German marketing efforts and quickly grew to love the flexible hours, working from anywhere she wants, with a team that makes working fun!

Joyce Dela Pena
is a Project Coordinator with a background in Human Resources. Originally from the Philippines and now based in Malmö, Sweden, she studied Psychology and approaches her work with a steady focus on people and collaboration.
At Relay she enjoys the balance of structure and creativity her role offers. It quietly satisfies the frustrated writer in her and reminds her that storytelling doesn’t always need a pen. She loves a good TV series, a long read, and getting pulled into a PC game now and then. She’s also someone who looks up often to the moon, the sky, and the galaxies, drawn to the kind of wonder that makes everything feel a little bigger and more connected, almost like the feeling of getting lost in a really good book.
Kailey Salisbury

She thrives on connecting with talented freelancers and making sure the right people land in the right roles.

Debbie Hoffman
is a Project Coordinator with a background in content strategy and editorial management. Based in the U.S., she thrives on bringing order to creativity and guiding projects from spark to finish.
At Relay, she enjoys the rhythm of structure and collaboration, a mix that feels a bit like fitting puzzle pieces into place. When she isn’t coordinating projects, you’ll find her camping by the lake, lost in the pages of a good series, or unraveling the clues of a cozy mystery.
Addy Agüera
our Spanish Marketing Assistant, always keeping up with the latest trends on Bookstagram and all things bookish. A storyteller at heart, she’s passionate about crafting content that connects and sparks emotion (especially if it involves a love story that makes her swoon!) A Spanish native whose heart belongs in England, Addy spends her spare time working on her indie romance novels and chasing her two little ones around the house. She firmly believes that Happily Ever Afters can (and absolutely should) exist — both on and off the page.
