First Post
The D20 Publishers & Writers Journal is a bi-monthly PDF magazine for publishers, editors, writers, and reviewers of the D20 System. Each issue will feature profiles, and articles written by both those just coming into to the field, and those that have been here awhile. These articles will cover topics that are of interest to publishers, and writers, or will cover topics such as new publishing software, printer press companies, layout tips, and reports on emerging publishers, and a highlight release list for all publishers. Our news section will update readers on new gaming current events, and special events. It will occasionally contain interviews with a star of the gaming industry, and other industry news.
The D20 Publishers & Writers Journal is mostly written by the submissions of the D20 System writing and publishing community, and freelancers. We’d be happy to read anything written well. Manuscripts should be typed, and double spaced and no more than 10 pages in length. If you send a proposal for an article instead of a manuscript, please send or point us to two samples of your previous works, and include an app. word count of the manuscript.
It usually takes a few weeks for us to respond to your manuscript, or query. The D20 Publishers & Writers Journal like its counterpart Asgard published by EN World’s Natural 20 Press, is mainly a print by donation venue. Meaning that we will pay for articles on a case-by-case basis. Since the magazine is itself free to everyone with an interest in publishing, and writing under the D20 system.
The D20 Publishers & Writers Journal is not a source of game information like Asgard is, and as such will not carry very much, if any, gaming material. Other than highlights on new innovations in open gaming content, such as FFG’s legendary classes rules, or the parrying rules from Dragon Ô #301 for example.
We look forward to hearing from you.

Staffing Notes
A Side issue is the matter of Staffing we currently have and Editor in Chief (me), and a Staff Editor/ Layout Editor we are looking for a few good gamers from the Enworld that have skills in the following areas
PDF Design Job Filled, Thank you Todd
Contributing Editors We have three openings for editors willing, and knowledgible enough in the D20 system, and the workings of the OGL to write collumns about said topics in a well written manner. Again this is a hobby type job, and we are looking for those dedicated few who are willing to spend time (roughly eight hours) out of their week writing articles about the OGL, or helping the Staff Editor, or the Editor in Chief in insuring that well written material makes it on to the Magazines pages
Art Director While there is not going to be much in the way of pure and simple artwork (unless my plans go through and we begin to highlight RPG industry artists) We will need an Art Director to help the layout team, and to establish each issues cover whether photographs of Monte, or fantasy art, It will be up to you to make sure nothing gets printed upside down and on page 64 of a 60 page PDF.
Staff Reviewers Jobs Filled, thank you Sigil, and Crothian
Advertisement Director Your Job is to get the Industry to advertise in our magazine, and then cordinate with them to get their advertisement exactly the way they want it.
For Companies advertising through the D20 Publishers & Writers Journal is Free for banner sized advertisements, and will vary if you want larger sizes (such as a full page) though they to will likely be free for a good while. There is a Chance that this magazine might get packaged with the upcoming Ethos Magazine which will highlight the gaming side of the Industry though for now it is by itself.
Thanks for your time, and hope to hear from you all soon
