This magazine is full of content written for teens and by teens. There are essays on a wide variety of topics, as well as many fictional short stories. Poetry is another large section of TeenInk. There are also reviews of books, movies, television shows, music, and even colleges. There are also examples of visual arts that students have created. The teens who submit their creations to this magazine come from across the United States and even from around the world.

Teens in a library or an English class will find this magazine interesting, even if they do not usually read literary magazines. There is something for almost any reader here. Students may be intrigued to read works by people their own age. It could also serve as inspiration for an assignment or for a program, with teens writing their best works to be submitted to the magazine. There is a web site for the publication where teens can review each other’s work and read pieces from previous issues. TeenInk could be the spark that sets off an interest in both reading and writing that teens may not find just by reading what is assigned to them. ( )
