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:

• Fictional storytelling: 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: true stories shaped with the techniques of fiction, such as memoir and essay.
• Plays and screenplays: writing for stage, screen, radio or podcast formats.
• Other genres: flash fiction, song lyrics, journals and experimental writing.

Working with a private tutor lets you experiment across genres and receive personalised feedback as you develop your style.

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:

• Build a reading habit: 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: try the "show, don't tell" exercise or describe a memory using all five senses.
• Polish your work: leave a draft for a day, then return to refine flow, clarity and word choice.

A private tutor offers structured guidance, honest critique and the encouragement that keeps beginners writing.
