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

Here are the main types you'll encounter in most creative writing courses:

• Fiction: novels, novellas and short stories built around imagined characters and plots.
• Poetry: a condensed, rhythmic form that uses imagery and sound to express emotion.
• Narrative non-fiction: memoirs, personal essays and travel writing told with literary craft.
• Plays and screenplays: writing for stage, screen, radio or podcast formats.
• Other genres: songwriting, journaling and short experimental pieces that mix genres.

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.

Here are practical steps to take from day one:

• Read widely: explore novels, short stories and poetry across genres to absorb how authors craft their work.
• Write regularly: set aside 15 to 30 minutes each day for free writing or short exercises.
• Try writing exercises: photo prompts, first-line challenges and timed sprints unlock ideas when you feel stuck.
• Polish your work: leave a draft for a day, then return to refine flow, clarity and word choice.

One-to-one lessons help you set realistic goals, avoid common pitfalls and develop a writing voice that feels truly yours.
