>I have a cousin who is a professor at NYU. Chances he could help somehow?
Unless your cousin knows someone affiliated with Washington Square (NYU's literary magazine) and could get your work in front of the Fiction Editor, probably not. And even if your cousin knew a faculty advisor in the English department, most university journals let the grad students run the magazine with minimal oversight. However, you could try e-mailing your cousin to see if they'd commit to being an occasional reader of your work when their schedule allows. Building a network of "trusted readers" to give you feedback is important, and could be a nice way to connect.
