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.

Don't worry I'm still waiting to get published too. I have some pictures you should check out though. Do you?

I totally agree with you... I have confidence I will do well and I'm sure you will too but not so much on patience... Just remember though that anything worth waiting for in life might take a long time to happen and will take a lot of patience... don't worry our writing will show up eventually.Don't give up. Also if you don't get published in like writing a poem then try writing a story or something else and that might help. the more you post and the more catagories you post in the more likely are to be published in something. Good luck!!!

I totally agree! The first two things I have submitted to teenink were poems and when I submit pictures they can posted on the sight in a few days and the poems still aren't on the website. Sure it probably takes a while but it should be quicker.

I don't agree that they shouldn't go through an approval process, because what kind of c*** would end up in the photography section? I agree, however, that it takes forever for written work to be published. I have submitted like four images and they have all been posted within days. But my two written works are still pending approval. There has to be a better way for them to do it.

they should let the authors view the stuff even if it isnt approved yet

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!!!!
