From the Author:

How many times have we wanted to express what we feel but couldn't find the right words to say it? How many times have we looked for a greeting card to say it for us? I've always been impressed by the many ways feelings and thoughts can be expressed to others by giving a greeting card. Isn't it amazing how we can find the right greeting card to say our words for us? I've always felt it easy to express my thoughts to others, but was amazed at how many couldn't. So, I began approaching greeting card editors to learn what their requirements were for those of us who wanted to be a part of the fascinating world of expressing thoughts for others. As I approached a variety of editors with their expectations of writers, I learned that there is more to freelance writing for this market than just writing a verse. I decided that other freelance writers needed to know what it really takes to break into the greeting card market. My two year research developed into my book, Freelance Writing for Greeting Card Markets. This book is the basics that every writer should have to get their foot in any editor's door.
