Creative writing covers a wide range of genres and forms, each with its own techniques and conventions.

Among the core forms studied in creative writing classes:

• Fictional storytelling: long and short narratives that invent characters, settings and storylines.
• Poetry: writing shaped by line breaks, rhythm and figurative language.
• Creative non-fiction: factual writing — biographies, essays, reportage — written with artistic flair.
• Drama and screenwriting: writing intended to be performed, with dialogue and stage direction at its heart.
• 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.

Starting creative writing can feel daunting, but a few simple habits help you build confidence quickly.

Try these approaches to get going:

• Build a reading habit: study the books you love and notice how dialogue, pacing and description work.
• Write regularly: consistency matters more than length — a small habit yields big results over time.
• Use prompts and exercises: experiment with character sketches and dialogue-only scenes to develop your craft.
• Rewrite your drafts: treat the first draft as raw material and use editing to shape your real story.

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