In most of my professional life, it’s all been about who I knew.

Also, being part of the fan community can be a way to get noticed at smaller RPG publishers. I know when I was Managing Editor at Sovereign Press/Margaret Weis Productions a few of the new writers I used for Dragonlance 3.5 books came from the community at the Dragonlance Nexus and Dragonlance.com (same message forums, just two ways to get there).

The short answer is that RPG writing is one of the easiest fields of writing to break into, but as with anything else it helps if you know what you’re doing.
