Summary: Teen Ink is monthly a nonprofit magazine that wants to listen to the teen contributors and provide a forum where teens can express their own ideas through poetry, essays, stories, reviews, art, and photography. The magazine is a great source for the want to be teen writer or artist. Teens can submit their own work to the magazine and maybe get published. With many schools having budget cuts and losing their school newspapers, Teen Ink, is a great tool for students to submit their writing and artwork to. By having teens go through the process of submitting work, they are learning valuable lessons in life and they will drastically improve their writing and artwork.
Evaluation: By having teenagers ages 13-19 submit their own writing to be read and then chosen to be published is a great thing for an aspiring writer or artist. It teaches the teenager that your work has to be good to be published. This magazine is also great because it is a nonprofit organization, so teens are the ones that win, not the publishers.
