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: long and short narratives that invent characters, settings and storylines.
• Poetic writing: a condensed, rhythmic form that uses imagery and sound to express emotion.
• Creative non-fiction: true stories shaped with the techniques of fiction, such as memoir and essay.
• Scriptwriting: 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: study the books you love and notice how dialogue, pacing and description work.
• Practise daily: set aside 15 to 30 minutes each day for free writing or short exercises.
• Use prompts and exercises: try the "show, don't tell" exercise or describe a memory using all five senses.
• Edit and revise: leave a draft for a day, then return to refine flow, clarity and word choice.
