It's a minor thing but a number of new writers have appeared here and on rpgnet lately.Answer some of the open calls around here and on rpgnet. Goodman Games has a big one right now.Your post should be a little longer. You want to tell us what you're good at, what you want to do and something funny about yourself so we remember you. You don't want to write an essay but a little more is needed.Create a signature with more information. It could be a witty expression but your website link is a good start.When I started I found a list of publishers and applied to all 75. I got one negative responce and some odd 5 job offers which was pretty good.It might sound a little more professional to not mention systems, unless you are particually skilled at one. Most of the jobs are d20 so you're set anyway. Generally everyone is generally willing to work on any system, except a handful of people who decided d20 is the source of all evil and I can only wonder what they think of 4th edition.I have a writing resources page on my website - which should be back up in the next couple of weeks - grumble.Knock on doors and say hi to people.Mark Charke</blockquote>
