Useful guide lines as to what we are looking for:

Artists

We are always looking for fresh ideas and concepts for new ranges with a broad commercial appeal. We will consider all formats - illustrations, photographic etc - in styles from traditional and contemporary to cute and funky.  Please send a selection of all your styles of artwork.

Verse & joke writers

We buy a wide selection of wording for our cards including jokes, complimentary or cheeky humorous verse, sentimental and inspirational verses.  Jokes ideally are hilariously funny with great sendability, covering the regular old favourite subjects to more topical matters.

Verses can be rhyme or prose but need to flow well and be easily readable first time.  They can be anything from 4-24 lines but the majority we use are 8, 12 or 16 lines. Try not to be too specific, it needs to sound personal but in reality must have a wide appeal.
