How can i get my poems or verses published in cards?
You need to approach the publisher's agency. Do NOT give them your works, or samples of your works, until you copyright them! there is a way to do this! It's often referred to as a poor man's copyright! Do up your poems and verses and mail them to YOURSELF, via registered mail, and have them require a signature. This registers the date and time of publication or creation!! it's relatively inexpensive to do, and saves a nasty court battle later!!





Once you have a copy of the reciept, you can mark on the examples to give the publisher that they are, in fact, copy right protected!!!





Now, you can let them have samples to see if there is an interest in your work. Do this with several publishers.
Reply:you can't.





I have some beautiful pics that I took on a vacation to Florida.





I called Hallmark to find out if/how I could sell them to the company. They said they are under contract to certain photographers as well as people who write the verses.





So I am pretty sure most of the large companies are all the same.
