Plot Summary:
This magazine is made and written for teens. It features poetry, non- fiction and fiction reviews, contests, art, and reviews. It looks into colleges, and features teens on the cover of every issue, as well as fun trends and adventures to do over the summer vacation. Teen Ink gives teens a voice and a platform to support themselves on; they are able to develop reading, writing, and communication skills while having fun and communicating to society.

Critical Evaluation:
This magazine is valuable for young adults that are looking for substance, but at times I feel like it can be dry and on the serious side. The articles are pertinent and seem to be well researched, but at times I wonder if the magazine appeals to all teens or just a subset of teens that are interested in these subjects. The layouts are nice and uncomplicated and they do look young and fresh.
