Question

Answer 1

There are no get-rich-quick sites available to struggling poets! You may want to get a copy of “Poets Market" or "Writers Market" (2007 or 2008 edition) from you public library. Then do some research in it for reputable publisher who will pay for your type of poetry.

It will take a little work, but if you have talent, luck, and patience you may be able to sell your work

Publishing Poems For Money

Answer 6

Far more people want to write poetry than want to read it. Almost no one wants to pay for poetry. The publications that do pay for poetry may pay as little as $5 for a poem, and you may spend hours of market research and manuscript preparation --- not to mention the writing time! --- to earn that $5.

I sell my short-short stories by e-mail subscription. Readers pay me $10 a year to receive my stories, three stories a month, electronically. But I was writing for twenty years and had won national and international awards before I could make a go of such a service, and I still have only 700 subscribers. With my years of experience, I can't make a living from my short-short stories, yet I can tell you that far more publications will pay for stories than will pay for poems.

I'm sorry that we're all bearers of bad news. The only place where a form of poetry makes a lot of money is in song lyrics, and that's every bit as competitive as, say, the movie business. Money from almost any creative endeavor is *possible*, but it's not reliable. If you're financially unstable, what you need is income that you can count on, such as a paycheck.

Answer 7

It is not feasible, even if it might be possible. Consider how many web sites offer posting and sharing of poems, but none which I know pay a poet.

Get yourself a Poets Market and read it. Try to get the 2007 or 2008 edition.

And here are some sites to educate you, and strengthen you for the grim realities of being a poet in a world where poets are too often thought to be served less than a dime a dozen. Note I did not say worth. Just not served well or justly. But wah wah. Save your tears, roll up your sleeves, and get to work.

Answer 8

It may not be possible to get paid for your poetry in a short amount of time. I agree with the poster who suggested that you check out The Writer's Market, which should be available at your library, or if not, your library can probably get a copy for you through interlibrary loan. It is possible to get paid for your writing, but it will take awhile to get started. You will have to find reputable places to publish your work, build a portfolio, etc. I would check out some books on freelance writing. They offer some good advice. Good luck!

Answer 9

Most literary magazines and journals that publish poetry from amatuers do not pay much (and I mean less than $10 normally) if they pay anything. Many of them pay in copies. You can go to your public library and look at "Poet's Market" or "Writer's Market" to find places.

Also, none of them will pay immediately. Often the magazines and journals that DO pay have such a backlog of work that it can take up to six months for them to review your work. Because they have so much to look through and a limited amount of space, you will recieve numerous rejection letters.

Get a job.
