Poetry. Both long and short poems were popular. Shakespeare sold an awful lot of copies of Venus and Adonis. Collections of poetry like The Passionate Pilgrim sold well as well.
Political and other opinions. Pamphleteering was a popular form of writing, although people had to be very careful because there was strict censorship.
Religious and devotional works. Again, there was strict censorship, but people in those days loved their religion.
Not so popular were novels, which was a form that had not yet been developed, although there were some short proto-novels. Collections of stories were uncommon, although there were translations of the Decameron and similar collections. Plays were not a popular form of writing--people would much rather watch them than read them.
