This is book number 8 in this series and I hope it helps beginners who are about to face editing.

Why bother to write an outline?
Many beginners don't see the need for an outline. So, they write Chapter 1 at the top and start. Most don't get far then, or they do a very 'beginner's' job of what they do write.

In a world pushed to the precipice of change, in a society that values the tried and true over the dynamic and new, what does it mean to be unmuted? In this anthology, a chorus of young women and gender-expansive teens give voice to fear and silence, hold nothing back, and demand justice.
