✨ANNOUNCEMENT✨
a graphic that says "announcing NAT & CAMI'S GUIDE TO RUNNING AN UNDERCOVER GSA - June 23, 2026 - An indie publishing endeavor from Me, Myself, and I - Head to karisrogerson.substack.com for more information!" the graphic says: "Casey McQuiston meets Heartstopper in this sapphic young adult debut romance. Cami is a 15-year-old lesbian, one of the few out queer students at her conservative boarding school for international students in Italy. She just wants to focus on getting her paintings in a student gallery and kickstarting a vaunted art career—but first, she’ll have to survive the next two-and-a-half years of bullying. Seeking respite from her roommate’s cruelty one night, she hides out in a bathroom—only she’s not the only one there. Nat is a senior, closeted even from herself, whose homophobic, missionary parents are pressuring her to win valedictorian. A year younger than her peers at 16, she’s still the head of her class, the fastest runner on the cross country team, and the captain of the girls’ soccer team, but her depression and insomnia keep her up all night. She takes refuge in the ground-floor bathroom where Cami shows up one night. As they spend time together over the following nights and Cami shows Nat how poorly the school treats queer people, the two girls concoct a mildly hare-brained scheme: to create an undercover Genders & Sexualities Alliance (GSA) where queer students and allies can bond. They don’t expect so many kids to find a home with them. And they certainly don’t expect to fall for each other."

"I got so much of that delicious goodness in Adriana Herrera’s A Caribbean Heiress in Paris, the first in a historical romance trilogy following three Caribbean women and beginning in Paris, 1889, at the Expedition Universaile. In this book we follow Luz Alana, a rum heiress trying to expand her business, and a Scottish earl named Evan who is immediately the whippedest of men for her. Like, she meets him and snaps at him and he’s just like “oh that’s hot.” God, I love a man who’s a little pathetic for a beautiful woman. [Who among us isn’t!!!]"

yesterday was a high of a day, during which i had my 6th of 6 initial ketamine infusions. the difference i've observed within myself and my mind is astonishing. i'm so grateful i was able to do this, thanks to those who so generously donated to my gofundme in may.

hello writers of bluesky! do you or anyone you know need a freelance editor for any stage of your project? i'm excited to offer copy edits, editorial assessments, and developmental edits! learn more via the graphics or here: www.karisrogerson.com/editorial-se...
on a pink background: "Did you know? I offer editorial services! I work with romance, fantasy, and contemporary stories across kidlit ages, as well as adult romance! Swipe to learn more! Email karisrogerson93@gmail.com to book and discuss rates." Copy Edit: Whether you’re worried about grammar, accuracy, or consistency, I can help! This is a final-stage edit ideal for authors ready to self-publish their books! Editorial Assessment: After reading your full MS, I will write a 3-5 page report with overarching, big picture notes. This is ideal for authors in the early stages of drafting who need a gut check. Developmental Edit: After reading your full MS, I will leave in-line comments and line edits focused on the overall readability and flow of the writing, as well as a big picture edit letter. Ideal for authors who want a more in-depth read than an Editorial Assessment!

turn to your brilliant best friend to help undo the hex. and then discover said best friend is loyal to a fault, beautiful, and uhhh you might have a crush on her, actually?
