You may be a great writer, but perhaps you don’t see yourself creating novels or tapping away at non-fiction volumes. That’s fine. There’s more to a writing career than becoming an author. Professional writers are in demand across a range of industries, and your writing skills could lead to a variety of careers. 

You might want to be a journalist, or a communications specialist, a blogger or an editor. You could work in publishing, become an advertising copywriter, join a media corporation, turn your skills to screenwriting or bringing game characters to life.

Turn your keyboard skills into a writing career

Strong communication skills are fundamental to all creative industries. As a writer, you could find yourself developing marketing material for a major festival, writing scripts for a documentary or an interactive guide for a gallery opening. You could turn your editing skills to polishing a press release, or script doctoring the speech for an industry event. The possibilities are endless.

From short form copy to corporate publications, billboard headlines to video game scripts, a career in writing and publishing is incredibly varied. Flinders Bachelor of Creative Industries (Writing and Publishing), will help you develop the ability to understand and take advantage of the opportunities available.
