In the UK alone over £1.3 billion (yes, billion) is spent every year on greeting cards; cards for birthdays, congratulations, mother's day, weddings and so on. Plus a whole range of general humour cards for no particular occasion. One can only imagine the worldwide spend.
If you ever looked at greeting cards and thought, "I could write something as funny as that", or "I could write a sentimental caption as good as that", or even, "my photographs would make good greeting card covers", then you would be right. These captions and images come from somewhere and the truth is, they come from freelance contributors like me (and you, if you decide to try).
This book will tell you how to go about it; how to find your market, how to create ideas and how to submit them. You don't need anything special - some persistance and an idea on how to go about it. This book won't give you the persistance but it will give you everything else - apart from the pencil and paper (or computer).
If you want to earn some good pocket money (or more), then this (ridiculously inexpensive) book will tell you how.
Come and join the fun party; we'd love to see you.
