https://vimeo.com/256017960Meet your mentor
My name’s Valerie Khoo and I’m CEO here at the Australian Writers’ Centre. I designed our popular magazine writing course at the Centre, and I know that it has helped thousands of students get started in the world of freelance writing. I’m the author of a bestselling book, have been published in countless major publications and am in demand as a copywriter. I've worked at many of the publishing giants: Bauer, Pacific, EMAP and Fairfax – and am also co-host of the top-rating podcast So you want to be a writer. As a freelance writer myself, I know first-hand the challenges that come with making your mark in this competitive industry. I'm passionate about sharing the strategies and skills I used to earn well over six figures in my very first year of freelancing. I love mentoring freelance writers, particularly if you’re transitioning from another career. That’s because I did that myself. I used to be an accountant - but I always wanted to be a writer. And while it took me a while to become successful as a writer, I did it all by trial and error. I don’t want you to have to do that. THIS program is what I wished had existed when I was finding my way. It’s a unique program where you are mentored by me, provided with lessons on how to hone your writing skills and a wonderful community to support you. “The Freelance Writing Masterclass group is generous with their advice and the weekly tips help add sparkle to my writing. Valerie is helpful and generous with her feedback. She doesn't hold anything back and you know that you are going to get an honest response every time! It also gave me the confidence to quit my job to write – it can be done! Getting involved in the Australian Writers' Centre was probably one of the best decisions I have made in the last few years.”
- Brad Kelly
“A big thank you to Valerie Khoo. Her mentorship helped sharpen my skills. I would recommend her highly to any aspiring writer.”

“I loved seeing pitching feedback given to others. Also, the interview questions and technique tips were invaluable. Valerie was clear, honest, helpful and supportive. The best thing about online delivery is that you can read/listen and re-read/re-listen. There were no set time constraints like in a normal classroom. I’ve done three AWC courses now. I realised I don't need to spend tens of thousands on a journalism degree. AWC has given me the tools to do what I want to do.”
