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
For some authors, it’s enough to get their book out into the world. They might have written it for family and friends to read and be satisfied with that. Great. But what if you want to make some money from your book. How do you do that?
The days when you could just put your book on Amazon and sit back, waiting for the sales to pour in have been and gone. So you need to treat it as a business.
During the session, we’ll look at the role of advertising and how it can help to increase your earnings. Facebook and Amazon ads can be very successful in reaching potential readers.
We’ll also consider how slashing your prices can seem counterproductive, but may actually make you more money.
Building momentum and writing more books, as well as making your books accessible to new readers and attending book events can boost your sales.
These points will all be covered over the course of the workshop.
This workshop is run by Budding Writers in partnership with The Writers Bureau.
