For Poets
Websites for Poets
Minimal, beautiful sites for the literary arts. Because poetry demands white space.
Poetry websites should feel like the inside of a well-designed chapbook — clean, spacious, and respectful of the text. Not cluttered with widgets and sidebars.
Folio's gallery-white aesthetic and typographic focus make it the natural home for poets. Display your collections, share individual poems on your blog, and sell chapbooks directly to readers who care about the craft.
How poets use Folio

Blog for individual poems
Share new poems, drafts, or readings on your blog. Build an audience between collections and give readers a reason to return.
Sell chapbooks directly
Sell limited-edition chapbooks, signed copies, or PDF collections directly from your site. No Amazon, no middleman.
Why Folio

Is Folio too much for a poet with one collection?
Not at all. The Basic plan at $7/month gives you a clean, professional website with your collection displayed beautifully. As you publish more, your site grows with you.
Can I share individual poems on my site?
Yes. Use the blog to publish individual poems, readings, or reflections. Each post gets its own URL, shareable on social media.
