Poetry writers can earn anywhere from $10 to $300 per poem if they want to get paid for their work. A poetry publication can be a stepping stone to bigger things than getting published in other writing markets. Do not let the low pay discourage you from pursuing your dream if you are passionate about writing poetry.
There is no set amount that someone can make from writing a poetry book. It depends on a number of factors, such as how many copies are sold, what the cover price is, and whether or not the author receives royalties. Also, if the author has a publisher, the amount of money the author receives will be less than if the author self–publishes.
