Employment opportunities
Our students have opportunities to volunteer or gain experience with a range of projects, including AustLit, a resource for Australian literary, print, and narrative cultures, and Corella Press, a UQ run not-for-profit small press committed to making beautiful, collectable editions of recovered nineteenth-century Australian Gothic, mystery, and crime stories. Graduates of the Writing major have found work as professional journalists, teachers, editors, ghost-writers, publishers, science communicators, copywriters, playwrights, corporate communicators, public relations managers, travel writers, arts reviewers, bloggers, columnists, critics, feature writers, fiction writers, poets, publishing coordinators, screen writers, speech writers, and digital content developers. You will also become part of a network of UQ writing alumni that includes prize-winning writers such as Shastra Deo, Nick Earls, Melissa Ashley, and Jack Dann.
