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.
• Poetry: a form that relies on rhythm, metaphor and imagery to convey feeling.
• Narrative non-fiction: memoirs, personal essays and travel writing told with literary craft.
• Drama and screenwriting: formats designed for actors, directors and a viewing audience.
• Hybrid and short forms: micro-fiction, lyrics and personal blogs that blur traditional boundaries.

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.
• Write regularly: even a short daily session builds the discipline that turns ideas into finished pieces.
• Try writing exercises: photo prompts, first-line challenges and timed sprints unlock ideas when you feel stuck.
• Rewrite your drafts: revising teaches you more about writing than drafting ever will.
