Teen Ink's publishes a digital magazine every two months, which has been evolved from the print magazine that has been publishing teen writing, art and photos since 1989. We have no staff writers, so all the content comes directly from our readers. Any teenager aged 13-19 can submit their work for publishing consideration, and there is no charge to submit or to be published.
