Why study writing and editing online?

Learning editing, publishing and writing online gets you ready to work in the industry from the comfort of your own home. Writing is one of the few careers you can successfully establish yourself in as a contractor working from. Studying writing online establishes a regular writing habit while developing industry connections and opening opportunities as you study.

What kind of job opportunities does writing provide?

Having good writing skills will help you in almost any job you can imagine. Quality writing engenders confidence in the writer’s capacity to do other tasks well, so earns the respect of colleagues and clients alike. However, our online creative writing, editing and publishing courses can also unleash a whole new professional writing career in roles like:

What is the average salary of a writer?

This depends a lot on what kind of writing you do. Most writers in Australia who are starting out earn between $80,000-$120,000 per year. It’s important to know that many fiction writers earn below $20,000 per year from their literary works. Many writers choose to supplement their income with copywriting, editing and contract writing for SEO content or blogs, which can be very lucrative when you’ve established a good reputation.

What if English is my second language?

No problem! Careerline Courses offer English as a second language (ESL) writing fundamentals and English grammar basics. Many writers from non-English speaking backgrounds have written their stories in English with resounding success.
