I'm bilingual and would totally jump at the chance to do some translation work haha just saying

My Tumblr now features 2 videos about Empyrean, so at least I am making a little headway in that department. http://alexcduck.tumblr.com/

It looks like I will need to look up where the conventions in my region are - I was actually invited to be a guest panelist (writer category) at OutAlantaCon.

If anyone wants more info on my project, here's the best source:

Y'all are too kind! In regards to submitting an inquiry, I was already contacted by a nice young lady (I have no idea actually, she could be a grandmother or a grad student) from Paizo who asked for a resume, writing sample and thereafter added me to their contributors list. That's a huge first step in my eyes!

Also, please note that we cannot look at unsolicited manuscripts.

What do you mean "you don't want to read my 250 page treatment of the movie Moana rewritten in the Pathfinder universe while we stand here in this busy Convention hall?" I thought this was your business. Maybe you're not as serious about it as me ;)

Thankfully, John, I do always come equipped with a professional business card. As a writer, I know it is important to have my work easily accessible. So I have a Facebook author page, Tumblr, LinkedIn, Amazon, and YouTube channel, all which provide information about me and samples of my work.

The type of work you described, Meraki, which I would assume is paid on a commission-basis, is precisely the type of thing I would be most interested in. I actually prefer when clients can give specifics about what they need for an article or piece. Vague requests can be really frustrating on both ends.

Empyrean was an entirely original idea of my own making. While I call it a "free form RPG" it does incorporate some fairly simple (and familiar) game mechanics. Yes, there is still SOME dice rolling. While it is not Pathfinder specific, I felt that it works decently to show that I am capable of writing eloquently while still explaining rules clearly and concisely. From the responses above, I wonder if this is sufficient, or if I should really focus on creating something PF specific.

It looks like I will definitely need to become much more familiar with the series as I move forward, also. My experience with it to date is admittedly limited, but maybe that's a matter of opinion.

Thank you all again.
What a tremendous community you have!

Thanks to you both! I will definitely give Freelance Forge a look when I have a little more time on my plate.

So no one knows me yet, but here goes: My name is Alexander Duck and I am a poet and writer of fantasy fiction. I have several published works on Amazon. My biography is there as well, if you want to learn more about me. I have a BA in Spanish Language & Lit. but I write predominantly in my native language (English).

I am in the process of self-publishing my very first RPG Guidebook - called Empyrean - this month. I am hoping that this speaks to how dedicated I am to the fantasy role playing genre.

My question is: how does one go about landing a job at Paizo? Does the company ever hire contract workers or contributors, or is it solely full time staff? Do they hire remotely or would one need to live in CA (I'm guessing this is where HQ is located)? Not to sound like sour grapes, but if it is anything like other industries where you have to start at the ground floor, where exactly is that? Ie. what is considered an "entry level" position?
