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

The most widely taught categories include the following:

• Fiction: novels, novellas and short stories built around imagined characters and plots.
• Verse: writing shaped by line breaks, rhythm and figurative language.
• Narrative non-fiction: factual writing — biographies, essays, reportage — written with artistic flair.
• Scriptwriting: formats designed for actors, directors and a viewing audience.
• Other genres: 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.
