If you want your stuff published by someone, you'll need to do the legwork and contact them induviduallly and prropose your manuscript. They aren't going to contact you.
In addition, you need something a little more tempting than "My campaign is cool, do you want it?". Because there's nothing in your post to interest anybody.
Thank everyone for your input. Yes, War of the Vashars is a name for the campaign, one of many actually.
The campaign is where it starts out as a murder mystery and becomes in one to three different game periods an all out war. At the start Talsid summons the party to come to the tavern in the Imperial Elfish city of Angrod (name subject to change) Talsid tell the party that he needs them to look into the murder of two people one is a High Elf Imperial Officer of the law and the other is an Orc. The murder took place in the room just above the tavern. After the party gets briefed by Talsid they go to the room and find where the bodies where by the markings such as two taped X's on the floor. The party also finds one object in the room; an oil lantern that does not look as though it was there for very long which puts it out of place because the murder was a week ago.
The goes to great links to find the murderer of course they do but that triggers several events to take place one of which is the War of the Vashars.
Vashars are in the book of vile darkness pg12. The war itself is also a mystery, although the Vashars are evil they like to stay in there own borders. The mean-Villian in this is the vile God Karaan the god of all creatures of the night such as werewolfs, wererats, wereboars, the like.
I would have said more before it's just that I wasn't sure if I could trust the people on the internet or for that matter this website not to steal my idea.

Well, I can see you are going to have a problem right away. If the Vashars are in the Book of Vile Darkness (and they are) then they are not OGL, and therefore you cannot use them in a 3rd party product. Same goes for Talisid, he's in the Book of Exalted Deeds.
What I would suggest is that you get very familiar with OGL and the SRD before trying to market your product to a publisher. Basically, you cannot use anything that is not in the SRD, and that means about 95% of WoTC products.

Trust me, publishers are inundated with submissions. They aren't scouting internet messageboards lokoing to steal your ideas.
Basically anything in there is fair game to use in your own products. Anything else published by Wizards of the Coast (with the exception of a few things in Unearthed Arcana) cannot be touched by any 3rd party publisher.
Sir Morgan, I'm not trying to offend, but if you want to approach publishers you should spell and gramar check your opening letter until it is perfect. If you can't make a short letter perfect, they are going to think the product you have written is riddled with mistakes. (Yes, I know, this letter is full of mistakes - what I say, not what I do....)
I've been scribbling out some d20 starting comments and I've posted them on my website, including some short definitions for d20 work and related links.
WotC = Wizards of the Coast. Publisher of that game you're writing for...
BovD = Book of Vile Darkness, title of the book you mentioned.
As a publisher, I can tell you I would have little interest in a writer who does not even know what the OGL is! If you want publishers to seriously consider your work, you need more than a "kewl" idea. You need a strong understanding on game mechanics, solid writing skills (yes, grammar counts!), and something that is original and still balanced.
Most publishers that are looking for freelancers will have guidelines posted on their sites. If you want a publisher to consider your work, you should read their guidelines and follow them.
