Question: Do poetry books sell well!?
I have no problem writing poems!. It comes to me and flows out!.

If I decided to publish a book of poetry (about 100 poems), would it sell well!? Would it even sell at all!?

What age groups usually buys poetry books!?

Thanks!Www@QuestionHome@Com

In a word, no!.
In a few words, most likely the only people who would buy the book is people you know, and most of them will expect a complimentary copy!. Poetry is not a good way to try to make a living, but it is a fun pastime!. If you can make a little from it, so much the better, but don't be too disappointed when it sells less than a hundred copies!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

hard to say!.!.!. when did you last buy a book of poems!. the last book of poems i had was one from the school library that i never returned!. you can always tryWww@QuestionHome@Com
