Hello.  I have an idea for a Dragon magazine article I'd like to submit.  

I've read the submission guidelines, but have a few more questions.

1) Who should I addess it to (or does that matter)?
2) How detailed should the pitch be?  For example, if you are pitching a group of new magic items, should you detail what they all do, or just talke about the group?  
3) If an article is accepted, how long do you have to turn it in?

Thanks!

1) Don't worry about addressing it to anyone in particular. We're not going to reject anything just because it wasn't addressed to the correct R&D staffer.
2) For the initial pitch, a couple paragraphs is fine. 
3) If it's accepted, we'll work out a schedule with you based on our current needs and deadlines.

I'm looking for the article posted by Chris Perkins regarding the new submission system (submissions twice a year only). If anyone can post a link to the article it'd be greatly appreciated.

Also, this info should really be posted somewhere on the main page, or at least on the Dragon/Dungeon sub-pages.

Thanks!

Heh, I had to track this down a few days ago, and yeah, it is hard to find - it is in Design and Development, of all things.

Thank you very much for posting this.

This really needs to be posted somehow on the main page. Either put a link directly to this article or rework the content into an information page on submissions. Most other publishers put a submissions link front and center on their page.
