Submission Guidelines
We welcome submissions from members of the community - in fact, we'll be relying on them! However, before you decide to send along your 45-page masterpiece, please read these brief guidelines:
Please initially send a proposal email to
rangerwickett@hotmail.com. This email should include the title of your article and a brief (200 words max) summary. Your subject line should read "E.W.P.J. Proposal" (without the quotes - cut & paste that: if it's not exactly right, it won't get sorted by the email filters and will never be seen!) Try to think of something unique and useful - people probably don't need yet another duelist-style prestige class. If you send a full unsolicited article, we won't even read it - this is to prevent you saying later that we stole your article should we coincidentally publish something similar.
Note that we're not generally looking for adventures or for serial articles - we are looking for useful standalone pieces.
Be prepared to start writing your article immediately for a deadline which could be as soon as a couple of weeks away. If you propose an article, it's assumed that you have the time to do it now. If you can't get around to it until next April, please don't send your email until next April.
You should get a reply within a few days indicating whether we're interested in your article. If so, we'll arrange a deadline and ask you to start writing it. We'll tell you what format we need it in at the time.
Yes, we'll pay you. But not much! Each article published earns you $30, and EN World gets first publication rights (you retain copyright - see note at bottom of this page). You'll be paid upon acceptance of your article. Yes, we know that $30 isn't a lot - but if you're going to be writing D20 magazine articles, it's probably safe to say that, like us, you aren't in it to get rich!
We may well edit your article, or even incorporate it in some way with another. Please remember this, and don't get upset if we do so.
Your article may not be used immediately - we try to keep a small "stockpile" of articles and draw from it for each issue. This ensures that we're never caught short!
Artists
We need artists as well as authors, both for full-page colour covers and for smaller interior black-and-white pieces. Please contact Denise Robinson, our art director if you can contribute - we will need to see a sample of your work (in black-and-white). Like the writers, you won't get paid an awful lot; here are the rates for artists:
Full colour cover - $80
Interior black and white piece - $15 to $25
