it needs, not a little, but a lot of editing. quite frankly, i have heard many people complain about the mags not publishing them ,it is usually because their articles are poorly written. if editor has to do a lot of work for a bad article, or minimal work for a good article, usually they are going to publish the good one and reject the bad as its less work for them.
strickland, and was it ryland with the hood piece? got published - ask them for beta.
even the alpine journals reject like 50% of all submissions - for the mags its more like 90-95%
