Greeting cards can be a fun and exciting way to express thoughts and sentiments. Often, it can be difficult to tell someone exactly how you feel. For this reason, greeting cards were created to express such thoughts on behalf of another. Individuals with a knack for creative writing may choose to become a greeting card writer. The job opportunities for a writer can be numerous, while some may be able to land a job with a greeting card company, others may choose to go into business for themselves and offer their services as independent contractors.
