A national teen magazine, book series, and website devoted entirely to teenage writing, art, photos, and forums. For over 25 years, Teen Ink has offered teens the opportunity to publish their creative work and opinions on issues that affect their lives – everything from love and family to school, current events, and self-esteem. Hundreds of thousands of students, aged 13 -19, have submitted their work to us and we have published more than 55,000 teens since 1989.
Distributed through classrooms by English and Art teachers, and available in libraries nationwide, Teen Ink magazine offers some of the most thoughtful and creative work generated by teens today. We have no staff writers or artists; we depend completely on submissions from teenagers around the world for our content. Teen Ink has the largest distribution of any publication of its kind.
National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to creative writing. The challenge: draft an entire novel during the month of November.
Why do it? For 30 crazy, exciting, surprising days, you get to lock away your inner editor, let your imagination take over, and just create!
Participants begin writing November 1 and must finish by 11:59 PM on November 30. The word-count goal for our adult program is 50,000 words, but the Young Writers Program (YWP) allows 17-and-under participants to set reasonable-but-challenging individual word-count goals.
Novelists can write directly on our website (or in a separate document), find inspiration in our noveling resources, and tap a worldwide community of fellow writers for support.

Formed in 2004, the Young Writers Society serves as a keynote global community for young writers. We aim to promote creative writing as a pastime, prepare aspiring authors for future publication, and create lasting bonds across continents and cultures alike.
The Young Writers Society is an ideal place to grow as a writer and creator. All the content on the Young Writers Society is created and shared by its members. Each day, our members collectively contribute hundreds of literary works, reviews, and forum posts. Users actively share original writing and art, while the community provides constructive feedback necessary to push creators to the next level.
Beyond the literary section, the Young Writers Society hosts engaging research, discussion, and publishing forums. Members are encouraged to collaborate, debate, compete, review, chat, and share photographs -- all in a family-friendly environment.
The Young Writers Society is maintained by a volunteer team of outstanding members. Our moderators (distinguished by green usernames) mentor young writers, foster artistic growth, and ensure that our site runs smoothly.
