What is ‘Reinvent Yourself'?
It's your step-by-step guide to becoming a writer.
Would you like to get paid to write? Do you want to change careers? Does the idea of crafting stories, meeting people and seeing your words in print appeal to you?
If you’ve always wanted to get published and explore the world of writing, Valerie Khoo's Reinvent Yourself program is a great place to begin. By following the inspiring online guide book and audio program, you will be well on your way to a new career as a writer. It doesn’t matter if you’re in a completely unrelated job because this program maps out a plan you can follow in order to change careers and succeed as a writer.
You can … but first you need to change your mindset and understand what to do to make this happen!
Can I REALLY change careers and succeed as a writer?
Yes! How do I know this? Because I've done the same thing. My name is Valerie Khoo. I’m the founder and National Director of the Australian Writers’ Centre. I used to be an accountant. At the time, I thought I’d better take a “safe” career option. But one day I realised I had to give in to my childhood dream of becoming a writer. I eventually decided I had to follow my passions, so I set myself a plan to transition careers – and I’ve never looked back.
Now, I’m a journalist, author and entrepreneur. I’ve contributed regularly to The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age newspapers and I’m the author of five books. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. I also write for a range of corporate and consumer publications. And I love it! Sometimes, I have to pinch myself that I’m being paid so well to do what I absolutely love.
I’m always thankful that I had the guts to reinvent myself. And you can too …
