About Heidi.
Heidi M. Rogers writes and illustrates books for kids and teens. Her YA fiction explores first love, friendship dynamics, self discovery and acceptance, with neurodiversity, feminism, and environmental issues woven throughout. Heidi’s author-illustrated picture books and graphic novels tackle modern-day issues related to the environment and feature neurodiverse characters. Her upper-middle grade novel-in-verse deals with parental divorce and addiction. Her favorite tropes are the enemies-to-lovers, friends-to-lovers, forced proximity, celebrity, fake dating, grumpy-sunshine…actually, she just loves all the tropes.

Writing Background
Heidi spent her childhood writing and drawing comics with her brother, then moved on to angsty poetry in her tween years. In high school, she was a staff writer, page editor, then editor-in-chief (& re-designer/re-brander) of the school newspaper. At university, she studied art and graphic design.
It wasn't until she had children that the passion for creative writing was reignited. Since then, she's written countless picture books and half a dozen novels.
