How to Get a Job Writing Greeting Card Verses

I always stop by the cards aisles at stores to check out the latest greatest greetings cards to send to family and friends.  I find that browsing can give you great inspiration for making your own cards, too!  Of course, you often come across some greetings that aren’t so great or original.  Did you ever feel that you could write just as inspiring messages for all to enjoy?

eHow.com has a great article outlining one way to get yourself into the greeting card verse writing world.  I realize that no industry is easy to get into when you are starting from scratch, but I think like most things – hard work will pay off if you really want to do it!  I myself would one day love to have an actual published card – one way or another – however you would like to define that type of success.  It reminds me a bit of the same idea in an Adam Sandler movie… he finally got one greeting card published at the very end…

No matter what, have fun with it and get back to writing to your family and friends.  Whether your verses are rejected or finally published in the end, you can always use them in your own correspondences!
