Workshop Leader
Esther Chilton
Since joining The Writers Bureau as a student in 1999, and following their advice, Esther hasn’t looked back. As well as winning several writing competitions herself, she was head judge of Writers’ Forum magazine’s monthly short story competition. Over the years, Esther has regularly had articles and short stories published in a variety of newspapers and magazines in the UK and abroad. She has published a range of writing workbooks, children’s books and short story collections.
Esther became a tutor for The Writers Bureau in 2009 and when they closed in July 2026, she knew she wasn’t ready for it to go. Fortunately, they let her continue with the website and new courses so she can support students on their writing journey.
Workshop Outline
The romance fiction market is huge, whether it’s short stories you’re interested in or novel writing. This course will cover the short story romance market, including outlets such as the women’s weeklies, literary magazines and competitions.
We’ll also focus on which publishers accept romantic fiction novels. One of these is Mills and Boon. Writing for them can become an enjoyable and lucrative career, so we’ll take a closer look at what writing for them involves.
If you’re serious about getting your romantic fiction published, it can be useful to join The Romantic Novelists’ Association. They’re passionate about raising the profile of the genre and they have an excellent new writers’ scheme as well as an aspiring writer scheme, both of which can help you on your way to becoming a published romance writer.
This workshop is run by Budding Writers in partnership with The Writers Bureau.
