• Poetry: writing shaped by line breaks, rhythm and figurative language.
• Literary non-fiction: true stories shaped with the techniques of fiction, such as memoir and essay.
• Scriptwriting: writing intended to be performed, with dialogue and stage direction at its heart.
• Short forms: micro-fiction, lyrics and personal blogs that blur traditional boundaries.

With one-to-one tuition, you'll learn the conventions of each form and find your own creative direction much faster.

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

These foundations will set you on the right path:

• Build a reading habit: explore novels, short stories and poetry across genres to absorb how authors craft their work.
• Write regularly: consistency matters more than length — a small habit yields big results over time.
• Start with prompts: try the "show, don't tell" exercise or describe a memory using all five senses.
• Edit and revise: treat the first draft as raw material and use editing to shape your real story.
