Hi

A friend at work writes fantastic poems and can taylor them to any situation style; she is just writing one at the moment, sadly, to read at the funeral of a work collegue. She said she has always wanted to write them and even greeting card inserts etc. I pointed out there maybe a market in 'writing personalised poems' to be used for readings etc for weddings. so just gaging your views.

    Personally no. I had a business car through about speech writing and poem services. If I were to have a poem to do with myself, I'd rather write it myself, but thats just me.

    Personally I think it would be very limited as in the amount of people who would be interested.

    I read recently that poets were the most common kind of creative and almost ten a penny. Greetings cards publishers are aparantly swamped by unsolicted submissions.

    Sorry, but I wish her good luck anyway.

    No, if I wanted a poem I'd write my own.

    I've seen this service offered though so there must be a market out there. I'm just not aware of anyone who would use it.

    Hiya

    There is a market for this, I've heard of a few companies who offer poem writing services before like www.iwantapoem.co.uk

    I always think it's worth a try, maybe she could get a website set up and see how she gets on? In once won a poem writing competition, but that was when I was about 7 and now I couldn't write one for toffee!!
