Navigating the Margins: A Collection of Stories by High School Students

by Ella Heiliger, Danielle DuPuis (editor)

Navigating the Margins is a writing program funded by a grant through It Gets Better with the goal of creating a short story collection of the same name, featuring high school student writers within the Howard County Public School System. Each student author was selected to participate in the program due to their strong desire to write, improve, and share their stories. This short story collection features the stories students wanted to tell, and to read. From fantasy and dystopian fiction to realistic school stories and murder mysteries, this volume contains stories told by teens with one common thread... a shared commitment and desire to become professional writers.

The students contained in this collection of short stories were mentored by the following Kalynn Bayron, Cierra Kaler-Jones, Kathy MacMillan, Laura Shovan, and R. Eric Thomas.

All proceeds from the purchase of this collection will go toward providing the resources, mentors, and experiences for the next Navigating the Margins writing students to pursue their passion for writing beyond the walls of their classrooms.
