Writing Submission Guidelines

Please Read Everything Carefully

Submit stuff for the Rifter via email to: riftersub {at} palladiumbooks.com. Include a legible scan or photograph of your signed copy of the Unsolicited Manuscript, Idea, and Artwork Agreement – we will not look at a submission without a signed agreement.

Guidelines for Writing Submissions

Palladium is interested in working with experienced writers who have written multiple works, been through the editing process, and who are willing to change the work they submit to suit the needs and style of our content. We have changed every single book that it has written between its first draft and final publication (even if Kevin wrote it himself!). If you need evidence, grab one of our Raw Editions and compare it to a final copy – there are always differences. Some changes are minor grammatical edits and some are major rewrites of whole sections or even the whole book. 

We encourage people who love the Palladium Books games to express their passion through writing, but we caution you that the work you submit will not be the one that is finally printed. If you are able and willing to make changes to your work based on our guidance, please feel free to submit your ideas and writing to us.

Your source material and adventures can be based on virtually any Palladium RPG.

“Source material” means O.C.C.s./R.C.C.s, fully fleshed out adventures, adventure ideas and settings, Hook, Line & Sinker TM adventures, Non-Player Characters (NPCs), villains, heroes, monsters, mutants, aliens, new magic spells, new superpowers, new psionic abilities, new robots and bionics, new weapons and vehicles, clarifications on existing spells and powers, clarifications on rules, optional variant rules, in-depth looks at particular O.C.C.s, and articles, philosophies, tips and suggestions for Game Masters and players on running role-playing games. Note: We will consider anything that’s good and makes sense.

If you already have “good stuff” on-line (other written works), send us links with a note pointing out what we should look at in your email.

You must include a signed copy of Palladium’s Unsolicited Manuscript Form with each submission.

A formal agreement will be sent to you if we like what we see and plan to use your work. Nothing you send us will be published without a signed agreement.
