Save Big on Textbooks This Fall
With tuition and room and board alone, college is already an expensive investment. Getting the books you need for classes can be an additional expense that’s hard for many students to afford. Yet books shouldn’t and don’t have to set you back hundreds of dollars each semester. There are a wide range of ways that you can get your necessary reading materials for a whole lot less than you might think possible.

One of the cheapest ways to get your textbooks for the semester to try to borrow them from the library. Many campus libraries carry one or more of the textbooks that professors require, allowing you, if you get there first, to check it out and use it for the duration of the semester. Often, professors will put these books on reserve in the library as well, meaning you’ll have to go to the library to use it, but once there you’ll have free access. Of course, before trying out this method, you’ll want to ensure that the edition of the book the library has is the same as that which you need for your course.

Writing For Greeting Cards
Greeting cards are a wonderful way to express your feelings. They offer a way for us to say what we mean even if we cannot find the words ourselves, which is where greeting card writers come in. They do not receive a byline and never see their work published in national magazines, but they do produce some of the most widely read projects. Writing for greeting cards is especially nice because the word count is low and the pay can be as much, or more, than some publications.

If you want to write for greeting cards, the first thing to do is to become familiar with what is popular and what sells. A greeting card company will not hire you if your material is not fresh and unique. If you are just starting out as a writer and want to get your ink wet, so to speak, write what you know. The same is true when writing for greeting cards.

Your next step will be to find a company that is looking for freelance writers for greeting cards, which can often be found directly from the company’s website. Most have policies regarding freelance submissions and ask that content for greeting cards be submitted to a specific individual within the company. If accepted, your work will be compensated according to the company’s written policy on freelance writing.
