How Long Submissions Take to be Approved
December 6, 2009
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.

Inkpop is okay, but I mostly feel that it's a popularity contest, and from experience, people only really review your work with almost no criticism and then request that in return for reading your short poem that you read their long chapter story. I find the whole process rather frustrating, and I'm glad I finally worked up the nerve to join this site. I think that the fact editors read my work right away is incredible and I'm willing to wait.

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.

Good point you made. And actually, one of my pieces just diappeared. Wasn't accepted, but wasn't there anymore.
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.

Wow I've been wondering how long it takes to be approved and while I was browsing the site and saw this, I was so happy to find out but when it said 'months' I was like awww :( I submitted something the first day I joined so I guess we'll see.

Yes I post some photos and I am waiting for them to be up! But then at least we know that the people of this website are actually reviewing our work :)

I agree with Kisip_typical-Islander when she says that it's a really good deal to get a chance to be in this situation, to have peer reviews of work and a chance at getting work published. However i think to speed up the process they could have a 'moderating' system kind of like what MLIA, FML, etc. have, where users can go on and 'pass' or 'decline' articles and art. If a lot of people did it, we could have a 5-person pass system, where if it got passed by 5 users it could be published, but if it got declined by one or two, it would have to be read over by a teen ink employee. The employees would also be reading articles like they do now, and if they 'passed' an article it would automatically get published. Just to speed things up a bit.
Every single thing that I wrote was approved, but length of time taken to approve the article ranged from 4 days to 1 1/2 months. 4 of my articles got the voted #1 message, but that just means that they post your article under recently submitted on the genre's home page for about 3 days.

Well I don't know why it would be hard because all you have to do is set the profile reading for us to be able to read it. I mean I understand where your coming from but sometimes I just want to read my work. Do you understand my predicament?

It was a review of the book "Let Me In"
My movie review called "Letters To Juliet" took only a matter of three or four days but I just sent in this new article and it's still pending approval. I do agree with you, but I also think they're looking at it's potential in their magazine. Btw anyone who reads this plzzzzzzzz check out my movie review "Letters to Juliet" and rate and comment it please. I want it to be the most top rated article!!! Thanks and tell everyone about it!!
