Best Answer

Since everything Shakespeare wrote has at some time or another been published in book form, from one perspective he certainly did write books. Indeed he intended some of it, especially his long poems Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece to be published in book form.

What you mean possibly is: "Why did William Shakespeare not write novels?" The reason is that novels were at that time a new form of writing that was rare and not fully developed. There was no money in them. Plays on the other hand were what Shakespeare was paid to write.
