Most definitely send them another, preferably soon enough that your name will possibly trigger a memory of the first one.Have a great trip<BR/><BR/>BDbriliantdonkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05159881776835603748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30540321.post-57531228411857561202007-02-18T22:24:00.000-05:002007-02-18T22:24:00.000-05:00Hey, a rejection from Jane means an acceptance fro...Hey, a rejection from Jane means an acceptance from someone else. <BR/><BR/>Keep plugging away, Bug!Januaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13036651950996873368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30540321.post-70598534842484202292007-02-14T20:05:00.000-05:002007-02-14T20:05:00.000-05:00Hey- That's a great rejection.

I also wanted to suggest Skirt and here's the link: http://www.skirtmag.com/contributor.shtml. If your essay is geared towards younger women's friendships maybe you would consider a teen girl's mag like Girl's Life or Justine. Guideposts Sweet 16 publishes a lot of first person essays: http://www.sweet16mag.com/guidelines.html. <BR/><BR/>Fatcharlatan, thanks for the tip about Media Bistro. I've been to one of their parties, but I'm on the fence about joining AvantGuild and now I think I will. Good luck, bug!Susan Johnston Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09225671002159447902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30540321.post-50816200641015836822007-02-14T11:15:00.000-05:002007-02-14T11:15:00.000-05:00A VERY encouraging note!

Also, some other ideas worth looking into (not sure if all have essay sections, but check 'em out): Marie Claire, Allure, Seventeen, Self, Elle.<BR/><BR/>Are you a member of Media Bistro? If not, join--it's worth every cent of the membership ($50, I think?) and they have media parties in Boston...we could go sometime! On it, you'll find tons of detailed info on "how to pitch" certain pubs, including which ones take essays...I find that it often has good info on women's pubs especially.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Idiot Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11865748428499401466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30540321.post-20214763855149585672007-02-13T19:03:00.000-05:002007-02-13T19:03:00.000-05:00Bummer.
