Never too late: How online study has helped Wendy change careers
In need of a change, Wendy left her teaching career to follow her dream of becoming a creative writer. But following a lot of rejection with her first novel she realised that online study was the pathway to getting published.
When Wendy discovered an online creative writing course through Open Universities Australia she was not only able to upskill, reskill and improve, but also connect with other writers, “you really feel part of a community.”
