Wizards must like doing this method of finding new material.

Well, I know somebody who's about to get Blacker Darkness in their mailbox.

One thing to pay attention to is what they want as far as rights.  They want to buy all book and entertainment rights, which means you have the idea and they keep hold on the rights, especially if the idea translates well to screen, boardgame, videogame, etc.  It's na a bad market for landing a first book, but does rather shortsheet the author if you're not careful, so watch that in your contract negotiations it protects you as well as them.  Just something to keep in mind.  :)

It looks as though Wizards is now planning branch out into general sf&f publishing. That's kind of cool. They are already a large publisher of sf&f with their game-fan-boy books, so I wonder if they can get some quality prestige books out there?
