WOW, words cannot begin to describe how elated we are with the turn out of last night's launch. 39 volumes, 39 incredible books and it's only the beginning...just you wait for 40! We'd like to thank our incredible advisors James Ducat and Jo-Scott Coe for their endless support and passion for everything that is MUSE. Given that, we'd also like to thank all of our contributors for submitting to us and those that came out to read their pieces with us.

Meet Kaci! She's a first year editor and a guitarist who likes to play soft rock and soul music! 🎸

Q: What got you into playing those specific genres? 🎵
