[QUOTE="Riastlin, post: 5497104, member: 94022"] I can't relate from personal experience in submitting to WotC, but I do have a fair amount of exposure to the publishing world in general. The biggest thing I can say is to start off really strong in your pitch. Often times, if you don't grab them right out of the box, they may not even bother reading your full proposal. The first few sentences should give them a good idea where you are going. In other words, don't save the best for last because they might not ever see it if you do. That of course is a general rule of thumb and certainly its entirely possible that Steve Winter (or somebody else) always reads the entirety of the submission. And yes, change your name to Robert Schwalb, that might help. :) [/QUOTE]
