I would recommend that you direct this question to a publisher. If I said yes, it could not do you any good even if it were true, because you know nothing about me.
He didn't. Shakespeare never wrote a novel in his life. I'm serious. He wrote plays and poetry, and didn't even publish the plays himself.
Because Shakespeare never published his own work when he was alive. So when he died two of his theatre friends finally decided to publish them. These first published plays are found in whats called the First Folio.
Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnets, 28 plays and two long poems (maybe 3, if you count the Turtle and the Phoenix)
All of them. That's why they were able to put out a collected plays volume called the First Folio seven years after Shakespeare died. The King's Men owned the scripts and the right to publish them; Shakespeare did not.
Nobody. And here is why: Shakespeare did not publish his plays. About half of them were published after his death. Those ones which were printed during his lifetime were published by publishers without any consultation from Shakespeare. In some cases, it is thought, people wrote down the plays from memory and sold them to the publishers, in others, various playing companies, but especially the Lord Chamberlain's Men, sold old scripts that were hanging around the playhouse.
Henry Condell was one of the actors in The King's Men, one of Shakespeare's closest friends and one of the two men who determined to publish all of Shakespeare's plays in one volume after he died.
No copyright law. In such a situation, you publish a play, any fool can perform it. You only publish when there's more money to be made from publication than performance.
Shakespeare only wrote two things which he intended to publish as a book: the long poems Venus and Adonis. He also wrote sonnets which he later decided to publish as a book. But the work for which he is most famous, his plays, were not written as books at all: they are meant to be watched, not read.
Venus and Adonis
he wrote books like romeo and juliet and hamlet. His autograph could sell for 5,000,000 dollars and alot of ppl went to shakespeare play, hope dat helped (-=
Some people say that he did, some people say not. But the pure evidence is unknown, like Shakespeare's life himself, he was very private so we don't have alot of evidence to say. It's unlikely that Shakespeare himself had any of his own plays published for the simple fact that it was expensive and there would have been no reason to. People didn't publish things back then unless there was a strong market for something, particularly playwrights - publishing a play meant that it could be performed without you. Plays generally weren't extensively read or printed back then, they existed mostly as performance. It was only people who had a real passion for theatre that would buy a printed play in quarto or octavo form. Shakespeare's first folio was only the second time an English playwright had his plays published in folio (the most expensive way to print) ever - and that was after he was dead. Publishing was a VERY expensive and time consuming process. Some of the earlier quartos (the "bad" quartos) that were printed are, in many opinions, constructed from the memories of actors who performed in Shakespeare's plays. They were printed so that the plays could be taken out with acting troupes who were forced to ply their trade abroad when the theatres closed due to plague. Most of Shakespeare's plays were published for the first time in 1623 when William Jaggard and Edward Blount managed to get the rights (there were copyrights of sorts back then, though they mostly applied to the ownership of the manuscripts at that point) and the help of those who knew and worked with Shakespeare. They were only published after it was clear that Shakespeare would remain a legend after his death.
Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare's plays. Other theories may be entertaining but have no evidence to support them.
