Spirit of the Wind

Expanded Horizons (link: http://expandedhorizons.net/magazine/?page_id=5) is a webzine that I'm interested in possibly getting to buy the right to publish this (for $30, which is a ways towards that OLED I wanted to make). They state that they're specifically interested in speculative fiction as told from points of view similar to ine (and therians are mentioned by name), but I've never sold a story before, nor have I any idea if they can even purchase something from a 17 year old. My chances, I suppose, are better there than anywhere else, but.... any ideas on how to make this better so it will be more likely to be accepted, or analysis of my chances?
