The application process is rigorous and unpaid: 2,400 words plus. I spent two days researching and creating a magazine-quality article and followed all of their (stringent) instructions, only to have it sent back. They asked for a total revision. I can't be wasting two days, unpaid no less, while following all instructions and delivering a high-quality product (six days before deadline, I might add!) only to have it immediately rejected with no explanation.
