Verse·Shop
Frequently asked
How Verse·Shop works, from first poem to parcel on a doorstep.
What is Verse·Shop?
A small press for the things poets carry. Writers publish their words, set them in type, and sell them as print-quality goods — prints, shirts, notebooks, mugs — fulfilled and shipped worldwide. Each writer gets their own storefront.
Who makes and ships the products?
Orders are produced on demand by our print partner and shipped directly to you. Nothing is mass-produced or warehoused — each piece is made when it’s ordered.
How do writers get paid?
Writers set a margin on top of the base cost. After an order ships there is a short holding period (for returns and fraud protection), after which earnings become available to pay out.
Who owns the poems?
The writer does. When a poem is published, its author attests that the words are theirs. Verse·Shop is licensed only to display, print, and fulfill them.
Which currencies can I pay in?
Each storefront displays and charges in its writer’s chosen currency. Prices are converted from a base price at checkout.
