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.

does anyone know how long it usually takes for a freeverse poem to get approved?
I think approval time really just depends upon what genre in which you are posting; my book reviews were up relatively quickly, but my college essays and other, opinionated articles still haven't been approved. I don't mind all that much, really. I think the "less popular" genres (i.e. book reviews) will be approved quicker than the "more popular" genres (i.e. fiction) because there is less to sift through each day. :D

yes i agree with you I sumitted four poems last month & there are still pending approvel.
Maby the reason it takes so long is that the editor want to be the first to read the work; so that way it can be online and in the magizne on the same day. I agree though it does take quite a bit of time, by the time they actually start publishing my work I will probably have over a hundred pieces waiting to be reviewed. I suppose that if you wanted it to go up quickly you could always post your work in respose to another persons.

YES!!! This is soooo annoying... I agree, that it should be posted immediately. Then if someone finds it offensive, they can report it, and then the people who look through stuff only have to go through those things reported!!!!

Really? That's interesting. What genre is your piece? The day that I signed up for TeenInk (about two weeks ago), I submitted something. I was published three days ago.

From experience of being editor-in-chief of a literary magazine, reading each submission and deciding if it is publishing worthy takes a lot more time than most people realize. I don't think that it's unreasonable to wait for two to three weeks to hear back from TeenInk. I'm sure that they receive hundreds of submissons every day and that the staff is doing their best to update TeenkInk daily.

Thanks. True poetry would take longer to go through because it is quite complex. Thanks.

I agree with you both. They are responsible for it. But there are some rather obscure things on here, which aren't even written in proper english.

Perhaps it's because poetry is more abstract and people could hide innuendos within it easier? Good question!

Personally, I think we need a larger review staff. The submissions should still be reviewed. Did anyone ever think about this: If there is an edit article button couldn't people sumbit a G rated work and then "edit" it to be something offensive or inappropriate? In a perfect world, it would be used for the right thing but there are real creeps out there who would use it in a destructful manner.

I am relatively new, and I hope that this process doesn't take too long (:
