Welcome to Teen Ink,
a national teen magazine, book series, and website devoted entirely to
teenage writing, art, photos and forums. Students must be age 13-19 to
participate, register and/or submit work. Distributed through classrooms
by English teachers, Creative Writing teachers, Journalism teachers
and art teachers around the country, Teen Ink magazine offers
some of the most thoughtful and creative work generated by teens and has
the largest distribution of any publication of its kind. We have no
staff writers or artists; we depend completely on submissions from
teenagers nationwide for our content.
We offer teenagers the opportunity to publish their creative
work and opinions on the issues that affect their lives - everything
from love and family to teen smoking and community service. Hundreds of
thousands of students have submitted their work to us and we have
published more than 55,000 teens since 1989.
The Young Authors Foundation, Inc. is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that supports all Teen Ink
publications. The foundation is devoted to helping teens share their
own voices, while developing reading, writing, creative and
critical-thinking skills. All proceeds from the print magazine, website
and Teen Ink books are used exclusively for charitable and educational purposes to further our goals.

Defense:
There are no apparent challenge issues in this book. If it were to be challenged I would do the following:
*I will keep
the library's selection policy on hand and memorized with a good
understanding of the standards and
policies to show that the selection meets the standards.
*I will keep
good and bad reviews (both electronic and print) and make sure they are from
reliable and respected sources such as School of Library Journal, Booklist, and
YALSA. I will have copies of these reviews to give away.
*I will confirm
the library's position to provide intellectual freedom as stated in the Library
Bill of Rights and keep a copy of this.
*I will keep
a written rationale to justify the reasons this material is included in the
collection, such as educational significance and curriculum ties.
*I will be
respectful and calm and practice "active listening".
*I will make
sure I read the material and are very familiar with it.
* I will keep a reconsideration form on file
in the event that my other strategies don't work.
