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: writing shaped by line breaks, rhythm and figurative language.
• Literary non-fiction: factual writing — biographies, essays, reportage — written with artistic flair.
• Plays and screenplays: writing intended to be performed, with dialogue and stage direction at its heart.
• Short forms: flash fiction, song lyrics, journals and experimental writing.

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: consistency matters more than length — a small habit yields big results over time.
• Start with prompts: experiment with character sketches and dialogue-only scenes to develop your craft.
• Polish your work: treat the first draft as raw material and use editing to shape your real story.
