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:

• Prose fiction: long and short narratives that invent characters, settings and storylines.
• Poetic writing: writing shaped by line breaks, rhythm and figurative language.
• Narrative non-fiction: memoirs, personal essays and travel writing told with literary craft.
• Plays and screenplays: formats designed for actors, directors and a viewing audience.
• Hybrid and short forms: micro-fiction, lyrics and personal blogs that blur traditional boundaries.

With one-to-one tuition, you'll learn the conventions of each form and find your own creative direction much faster.
