Attention, Teens!

I'm sure that many of you have seen copies of Teen Ink in our Library. Have you taken a minute to look through the magazine? It is totally written by teens like you from all over the country. There is also a website with lots of great content created completely by teens. Their site describes them as

"A national teen magazine, book series, and website devoted entirely to teenage writing and art ... 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."

So - bored with sitting around the house waiting for something to happen? Get on the computer and start typing out a poem, a short story, a book review, and submit it to Teen Ink. Remember, if your work is published, I want to see it! Get busy!
