Several times in the past 6-8 months, various Third Party Publishers have announced calls for submissions in the "Compatible Products from Other Publishers" forum here at Paizo.com.
However, not all readers are frequent enough visitors to spot these open calls and so have missed their chance to participate in them.
A while back, we had a discussion about having a single sticky thread at the top of our forum where open calls and other contests could be cross-announced. One reader suggested that I post here in the hope that Paizo would see this and grant us our wish :-)
Suggested text for the opening post of such a sticky thread:
Headline:
Announcement thread for 3PP Open Calls
Post:
This thread is intended as an easy reference point that allows forum users to see, which Third Party Publishers currently have Open Calls open to participation.
Do NOT post your open call only in this thread!
If you are a 3PP, create your own separate Open Call thread and simply announce it here with a link to your thread.
If you are a forum user and spot a new Open Call, please feel free to drop a link to its thread as a post in this thread.
That way, each Open Call will have its own thread for announcements and questions, but anytime you visit this forum, simply referring to this sticky thread will tell you if there are any new Open Calls that you have missed.
Good luck and have fun! :-)
I was told that simply posting here would be enough to get Paizo to respond, but that doesn't seem to be the case, unfortunately.
Any ideas on who to contact directly?
Well if you're the owner of a company whose products Paizo sell, I'd have thought you'd already be in email contact with them, but if not have you looked at the 'contact us' page of the Paizo site?
I know some of Paizo's people in sales, but none of their people responsible for web ;-)

Third-party publishers should feel free to contact me regarding anything on the website, sales or otherwise. This is something that is on my radar to discuss with the Powers What Be. :)

Hi Liz
Glad to hear your response, so I sent you an e-mail on Monday, but so far there has not been any indication that you got it?
How long do you think it will take before the Powers What Be make up their minds? I would have thought it was a rather simple matter to settle one way or the other?
It's been an incredibly busy week here at Paizo, and unfortunately, your email is not one that I've been able to cover quite yet with the folks I need to. Once I have a moment to breathe between juggling and Aiding Another the many moving parts that start churning at the beginning of convention season, not to mention a very large subscription shipment (which includes Kickstarter backer fulfillment), I'll be able to respond to your emails a bit more thoroughly, and not give a rushed and incomplete response.
