Welcome to Teen Ink, a national teen
magazine, book series, and website devoted entirely to teenage writing and art.
Distributed through classrooms by English teachers, Creative Writing teachers,
Journalism teachers and art teachers around the country, Teen Ink magazine offers
some of the most thoughtful and creative work generated by teens and has the
largest distribution of any publication of its kind. We have no staff writers
or artists; we
depend completely on submissions from teenagers nationwide for our content.
We offer teenagers the opportunity to publish their creative
work and opinions on the issues that affect their lives - everything
from love and family to teen smoking and community service. Hundreds of
thousands of students have submitted their work to us and we have
published more than 25,000 teens since 1989.
The Young Authors Foundation, Inc. is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that supports all Teen Ink publications. The foundation is devoted to helping teens share
their own voices, while developing reading, writing,
creative and critical-thinking skills. All proceeds from the print
magazine, website and Teen Ink books are used exclusively for charitable
and educational purposes to further our goal.
