Meet the Organizer
Amelia (She/Her)
Hi I’m Amelia and I’m so excited to be running CHSN’s Sapphic book club! Some things about me, I’m an aspiring author and illustrator and would love to someday create queer graphic novels, I make incredibly specific playlists for all the books I read and fan cast all of them in my mind. Some of my favorite sapphic books include Love and Other Disasters by Anita Kelly, She Gets The Girl by Allison Derrick and Rachael Lippincott, and Yerba Buena by Nina Lacour which happens to be our November book! I can’t wait to meet all of you and talk about queer books!
