I plan to make a submission, I already have a general concept down. My problem is, however, I am a Warrior Mage. While I know I am in no place IC to submit anything, I was wondering if it is still possible.
I COULD always make a necromancer, if that would appease the deciding party, but only if I must.
I was honestly just hoping to make a submission for the shear opportunity to write creatively.
I saw the post from the main page.

Book submissions are always welcome for general writing, but for the purposes of this particular contest only Necromancer PCs can get the rewards -- after all, it'd be a little awkward for a Warrior Mage to be at a celebratory Necroevent.

What about coauthorships? Myself and some others are collaborating, maybe a nonnecro could get in on that?

For sanity's sake I'm going to say determine who's going to be the primary author (who must be a Necromancer) and they are the one that gets the rewards, they can acknowledge more people as co-authors if they wish, and those co-authors can be of any guild.
Generally speaking I'd encourage more individual efforts rather than fewer joint efforts, but I won't turn joint efforts away.

Heh. Write a necrobook and cite Whiteburn (etc.) as coauthors just to watch the world burn (obviously the GMs are smart enough to catch that, I thought it was funny).

I have some suggestions on making this work :)

Have we decided if non-necros can still make submissions to this contest? It seems the answer is a soft "no", but I'm getting conflicting info. Also, I'm not really particular about any rewards, just so the book itself might be put on a shelf somewhere. Oh, and I also don't mind if an existing Necro puts his/her name on it and claim credit for it as well... it's for the love of the art that I toil I suppose.

IIRC he already responded to that question with a no. You can collaborate on authorship but a Necromancer's name must be somewhere on it.

Why, just write them up and do as you said, find some Necromancer to submit them for you.

Find a Necromancer to collaborate with in-game if you really want something you wrote to be featured in a Necromancer library. Y'know, do some arrpee. vOv
