What Are People Saying About What If?
"Our English department is most anxious to receive its 'What If?' subscription. They see a myriad of uses for the wide variety of fiction and poetry, but also a wonderful opportunity for their students’ work to be submitted for publication."

"What If? magazine is a great way for youth to demonstrate their creativity. The next generation of writers needs an outlet so that they can grow and gain confidence."
Candace Joseph

Scarborough, ON
"In a profit-driven magazine market, What If? is a refreshing change. Newcomers and ‘diamonds in the rough’ have a venue to develop their ideas and share them with others. What If? encourages youths to express and stretch themselves, hosts frequent writing contests, and has an editorial section for those under 19, where anything goes. I enjoy the creativity expressed by What If? writers and illustrators.

"I think it would greatly benefit any English class to have access to this publication…I view our relationship with What If? magazine as extremely advantageous. I encourage any teacher of English to consider this resource."

"I have been teaching Writer’s Craft for ten years at Orangeville District Secondary School and was pleased when What If? magazine became available in my class. The importance of What If? as a motivational, educational tool in the classroom cannot be overstated."

Orangeville District S. S.
"As a member of the board of directors for The Ontario Association for Students at Risk, I immediately saw What If? as a forum for students to write their stories and experiences. Our students at risk are of all ages and often have difficulty with print, but have wonderfully inspiring stories to tell to all teenagers. Our students may be in care, treatment or custodial facilities, and most often they are there because society has not accepted their abilities or their stories. What an opportunity is afforded by What If?"
Joy Sloan
Director (OASAR)
Guelph, ON
"As a high school English teacher I have greatly benefited form the relevant instructional articles, engaging interviews, and in-depth features that have provided directly applicable teaching content for my classes. As well, What If? magazine has consistently inspired the students of my school to more accomplished composition and greater artistic fulfilment. The pages of What If? magazine have provided a respectful and supportive forum within which teens have consistently expressed themselves honestly and creatively. I wholeheartedly and unreservedly support their venture and vision.
