Chris Youngs recently posted a call for submissions in the DDI group (it's a private group for D&D Insiders, so no reason to click if you're not a member) and I thought it would be cool to repost that information here.
Before we get into it, I want to blatantly repost the first step (Do Your Research) that you'll find in the Online Writer's Guidelines:
Know what's out there. If you're a D&D Insider subscriber, odds are you're already aware of the types of content we're looking for. Familiarize yourself with the articles we produce before you send in a proposal. This will help you know what we've done recently. If we just printed an article of new bard powers, we're probably not looking to publish another article on bard powers for a while.
This basically means you'll have a much better shot of being published if you're a D&D Insider and are familiar with the style of articles they're looking for as well as what topics have been covered before. You wouldn't want to submit a paragon path for Barbarians without reading over the information on the Barbarian and the format of similar paragon paths in D&D resources would you? This is pretty much the same thing.
Anyway, enough of that. Here's the important stuff, reposted from Chris's blog:
I'm slow, so it only just yesterday occured to me that I can use this space to get the word out on content needs we have. So today, I'm putting the call out for Dragon articles. Specifically, the short, 1,500 and 2,000 word articles described in the new version of a our writer's guidelines.
So here it is:
Class Acts: Artificer, Cleric, Warlord, Barbarian, Fighter, Wizard, Druid, Rogue, Swordmage, Paladin, Sorcerer, Avenger. Yes, that's a lot. But we'll be running many, many more of these, as you'll see come November.
Winning Races: Warforged, Deva, Dragonborn, Half-elf, Changeling, Goliath, Half-orc, Shifter, Shadar-kai, Kalashtar, Human.
Power Play: Any.
Know Your Role: Any.
Channel Divinity (short version): Moradin, Ioun, Corellon, Sehanine, Erathis, Pelor.
Guilds & Groups: Any.
So there it is. See your name in lights, and get paid for writing about D&D. What could be better? Send your proposals (after reading the guidelines, of course) to submissions@wizards.com.
