Creative writing covers a wide range of genres and forms, each with its own techniques and conventions.

These are the genres most commonly explored by aspiring writers:

• Prose fiction: long and short narratives that invent characters, settings and storylines.
• Poetry: a form that relies on rhythm, metaphor and imagery to convey feeling.
• Literary non-fiction: true stories shaped with the techniques of fiction, such as memoir and essay.
• Plays and screenplays: formats designed for actors, directors and a viewing audience.
• Other genres: micro-fiction, lyrics and personal blogs that blur traditional boundaries.

A qualified creative writing tutor can help you discover which form best suits your voice and guide you through your first pieces.

Starting creative writing can feel daunting, but a few simple habits help you build confidence quickly.

A structured beginner's plan looks like this:

• Read like a writer: study the books you love and notice how dialogue, pacing and description work.
• Write regularly: even a short daily session builds the discipline that turns ideas into finished pieces.
• Start with prompts: try the "show, don't tell" exercise or describe a memory using all five senses.
• Polish your work: revising teaches you more about writing than drafting ever will.

Working with a creative writing tutor accelerates your progress by giving you personalised feedback on every piece.
