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:

• Fictional storytelling: long and short narratives that invent characters, settings and storylines.
• Verse: a form that relies on rhythm, metaphor and imagery to convey feeling.
• Creative non-fiction: memoirs, personal essays and travel writing told with literary craft.
• Plays and screenplays: writing for stage, screen, radio or podcast formats.
• Hybrid and short forms: 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.

A structured beginner's plan looks like this:

• Build a reading habit: study the books you love and notice how dialogue, pacing and description work.
• Establish a routine: even a short daily session builds the discipline that turns ideas into finished pieces.
• Use prompts and 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.

An experienced creative writing teacher tailors exercises to your interests and helps you build a portfolio step by step.
