Do people really buy essays and if yes why?

[thehonest76]

I love essay writing, I like to combine photos with my essays and want to write and sell my own created essays. Only I don't know if people really buy them.

 

1./ Is there an interest in essays, do you think people would buy them?

 

 

2./ If yes why do people buy essays verses a book?

[Gilson]

I've seen plenty of books of essays. I dont think anyone would buy a separate essay unless you could pass it off as journalism or something and sell it to a newspaper or magazine. There are plenty of newspaper columns that I would describe as nothing more than essays.

 

Have you considered a blog? Selling advertising on your blog?

 

What are your essays about?

What kind of essays? Are you an expert in a specific field? Do you reference them? Or are they fiction/ short stories?

[Firiel]

Do you mean essays as in academic/research pieces or essays as in creative non-fiction?
