[QUOTE="Darrin Drader, post: 383604, member: 7394"] I couldn't agree more with Clark. My publishing credits include a couple of things I wrote for a small publishing company I was working for at the time, a couple articles in Dragon, several online articles for various periodicals, and the new Oathbound adventure that was just released to the Bastion Press website. While I admit that the deck was stacked in my favor with the company I was working for, I would not have gotten the Dragon articles or the work from Bastion Press if I hadn't looked at their material, read their submission guidelines, and asked them for work. By the way, you might want to try starting small. Write a few short articles for some online magazines first (I highly recommend doing something for Asgard since it benefits Moruss). You might also want to check out D20 Weekly since they pay contributors and you don't have to bother with a query letter. Once you have done this, then some of the printed publications might want to look at your work, and have faith that you will be able to deliver quality material after you have had your query letter accepted. Some small publihers might be willing to let you jump straight into a major project, but be warned that there are a lot of them that have been burned in the past by so-called professionals not turning in the work they had promised.
