• Creative non-fiction: factual writing — biographies, essays, reportage — written with artistic flair.
• Drama and screenwriting: writing for stage, screen, radio or podcast formats.
• Short forms: flash fiction, song lyrics, journals and experimental writing.

An experienced tutor will tailor exercises to the genres you enjoy most and help you build a portfolio you're proud of.

Getting started with creative writing comes down to building a routine and giving yourself permission to experiment.

Try these approaches to get going:

• Build a reading habit: study the books you love and notice how dialogue, pacing and description work.
• Establish a routine: consistency matters more than length — a small habit yields big results over time.
• Use prompts and exercises: experiment with character sketches and dialogue-only scenes to develop your craft.
• Rewrite your drafts: leave a draft for a day, then return to refine flow, clarity and word choice.

A private tutor offers structured guidance, honest critique and the encouragement that keeps beginners writing.
