Bio
Founded in 2012, we were born out of a burning desire to feed young readers with articles they actually wanted to read. Of course, there are platforms out there that work with the most talented of young people spewing out poetic language that floats in the mind of readers and then settles like a snowflake. But they’ve got their market and thankfully, we’re not about that life.
We’re about raw experiences, raw ideas and raw feelings. Pure emotion. Heart in mouth language. It’s about giving young people an opportunity to express their thoughts freely without this notion that they’re wrong because they’re too young to know any better.
You might ask that if for four years The Box had been an idea in motion, why is it only being made public now? Why wait till 2016? Well, in June 2016, the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union. 75% of young people voted to remain. Nuff said.
