A friend of mine has been in the field of freelance writing for a number of years and now wants to have her own business card. Though she is a freelancer, she also works closely with a website and wanted to know -

1) Since the card will be used by her to network locally, is there a particular style that she should follow? What do most freelancers / writers include in their business card?

2) Besides contact details, is it general practice to mention the the range of writing services she offers?

3) Are one-sided cards preferred to two-sides business cards?

4) She has selected hand made paper cards. Are horizontal cards preferred or vertical business cards?

5) Is it okay to select a small image online and get it printed on the business card - say a picture of a pen or are their any issues related to this that she should know of?
