Tips & Warnings
Don't expect a quick response to your submittals. It sometimes takes months for them to respond due to the number of submittals they receive.
Submit seasonal verses, like Christmas cards, as least six months in advance of the holiday.
Greeting card verses can sometimes be submitted online or through email. However, it is more common to write each verse on a separate 3" by 5" index card and mail it to the greeting card publisher.
