Sometimes a company's web site will have an info. page, otherwise you can email them and hopefully someone will send more details. Guidelines can vary in length, some go into great detail on the kind of art and writing they want, including how they wish to receive the format. It will also help to research the greeting card publisher's style beforehand. I would always try to obtain a company’s submission guidelines if you are planning to send in art and/or copy.

Can you let me know what kind of information you put on the cover letter/email to the publishers? As I am going to submit some work for the first time, but I'm not sure what information to include? do you go into detail about who you are? or information about the illustrations?
