So my article was rejected but the email says I need to change duffle to duffel (duffle is also correct but I guess they only accept American spelling??) so do I only need to make that one change?? And then I can resubmit? Seems quite minor for all this time it's taken lol

I would suggest that you re-read the whole article to check whether there are any other issues that need to be addressed. The editors will often stop reading when they find an issue that needs to be rectified and there may be typos further on that need to be ammended.

If an article is returned, I always check it thoroughly before resubmitting, just in case!

Sorry to be a pest but I resubmitted and got this message:

Does this mean it didn't need to be reviewed again? This is one of my first three and I thought they'd take another look?

No, it won't be reviewed again. It has been accepted, and the customer who made a public request is the only one who can purchase it for the next three days. After that, your article will be put into the public catalog, where anyone can buy it.

Thanks!

On the question of spelling. You can write in UK English. I do sometimes. But there may be a few words for which the editors are not familiar with the version you've written. The article needs to be consistent throughout, of course. So a note to the editor explaining the correct spelling, perhaps with a reference to a UK English dictionary would be in order. I've had to do that before, and sometimes the ed is grateful for the learning experience.
