How Long Submissions Take to be Approved
It seems that when you submit something, it takes weeks, perhaps even months for it to be approved. Everything is always published on the website, is it not? Has anyone ever received a letter saying your article was not approved and will never will be? I don't think so. Why not just post everything up right away so we no longer have to wait and wait to see our work up online.

I don't like how it takes so long, and that Teen Ink owns your work and your words when it is published on the site.
But I love to share my opinions, views and ideas with everyone. I also love the feed back. And how this is all written by teens for teens.
They published mine in 2 days! read my article
The Teen Phase is Just a Myth
I think what needs to happen is to post our peices immediatly but even after they are posted the editors can still look them over and delete them, post them in a high ranking section, or just leave them the way they are.
This is the author of the article and I've read a large handful of the comments. Thanks for letting me be the top article countless times, guys! I understand what everyone's saying, but there's a website called inkpop where you're posted right away and you have the chance to be reviewed by a HarperCollins editor. that proves that teenink could be a lot better.
