Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Upstreet, which sent me my rejection this morning? Their letter did include this line: "I hope you won’t let this deter you from submitting to upstreet again." Does that count as one of those nice rejections I've heard about, one of those that are a little bit better than the standard form letter? Or do they just have a super-polite form letter? Anyway, this is good, because the only other U magazine I know of it Utne, and I don't know enough about eco-friendly Buddhist performing arts collectives to write anything for them. Plus I don't think they take unsolicited manuscripts, which would be an easy way to get rejected, but I don't really think it should count unless a real person sits down, reads my story, and decides it's crap. I feel dishonest otherwise.
So here are the letters I've collected so far: B G M N O Q U S. I think I need some more vowels.

You totally have BOGUS! And luckily have a Q and a U to spell q words!
I was going to tell you if you needed a Q to submit to Quarterly West, but I don't think we'd reject you.
You could also send to Western Humanities Review, but there again, I bet we'd publish your stuff, so it might not work. :)
Yeah, I was excited about the QU.
I may need the Western Humanities Review, because I think I submitted to Water Stone Review's nonfiction contest after their deadline--at least, they never cashed my check. Is it an academic journal? Because I bet I could get rejected by them all right.
