Hello everyone,
i wanted this year to publish my first book and i wanted to create a book that extends the Inner Sea Campaign setting.
I wanted to ask if this is allowed and if so, what sort of permissions should i seek and from whom,
This is NOT going to be a supplement for Pathfinder RPG Rules but rather a book like the Distant Shores etc.

Well... I suggest you to read "The Kobold Guide to Worldbuilding", chapter "Playing in someon else's backyard" by Janna Silverstein ;)

Long story cut short:
- if you want to publish it non-commercially (read: it's going to be fan fiction), you can do it as long you follow the Community Use License.
- if you want to publish it commercially, well, that kind of doesn't happen unless Paizo hires you to write it. Which may happen if you're an established, successful, experienced author with some prose or gaming material under your belt.
Basically unless contracted by Paizo, you can't write a book using there property (unless again, it's for free and is essentially fan-fiction).
If your investing the time to write an entire book, probably the best approach is to just create your own setting and go from there. Will give you more experience as a writer as well.
