Greeting Card Markets

Many writers have branched out into writing for greeting card markets. Writing for these particular markets can be lucrative.

Companies such as Hallmark, American Greetings, or Gibson Greetings command a large share of the market but may not be open to freelance material. Many other smaller greeting card companies are in operation and these usually take unsolicited submissions.

The submission process differs so you'll need to read through writer's guidelines and submit your verses in the applicable format.

If this strikes your interest you can check out information at sites such as The Greeting Card Association or Greeting Card Writing or Writing World. Writer's Market also lists different greeting card publishers.
