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

There are lots of magazines, ezines and anthologies you can submit your writing to. There are also lots of competitions you can enter, which may result in publication if you’re amongst the winners. But what if you’re not amongst the winners, or your work isn’t accepted for publication? How can you make your writing visible?

And what about if you’re not actually seeking publication but just want somewhere you can share your writing?

The good news is, there are places you can share your work where others can read it. This workshop is about these places – platforms you can post your work to. It’ll cover what these platforms are, the benefits of putting your writing on there, how you can become part of a community, gain followers and perhaps make some money if you want to.


This workshop is run by Budding Writers in partnership with The Writers Bureau.

By taking part in this workshop you will:

  • meet other writers

  • have time to ask questions as there are only ten participants per group

  • learn why sharing your writing online can benefit you as a writer

  • find out where you can share your work

  • gain increased self-confidence to take your writing forward on your own.
