Does anyone know of any greeting card publishers/agents in the UK.
I have googled it and only come accross three independants. I have various images I would like to sumit to publishers with the view to getting them turned into greeting cards.
Although I am aware I can do this myself, I would prefer to be supported by a publishing company and draw up contracts etc. I appreciate I will pay them commission, but it is less work for me.

Gosh, this is an old thread! I foud a huge list of publishers and sent over 50 submissions. About 20 of them sent my stuff back saying it was lovely but didn't suit their style and I haven't heard from the other 30, so I'm either in the bin or in a pile somewhere! This was about 3 months ago though LOL
