• Literary non-fiction: true stories shaped with the techniques of fiction, such as memoir and essay.
• Plays and screenplays: writing for stage, screen, radio or podcast formats.
• 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.

Here are practical steps to take from day one:

• Read widely: 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.
• Start with prompts: try the "show, don't tell" exercise or describe a memory using all five senses.
• Polish your work: leave a draft for a day, then return to refine flow, clarity and word choice.

One-to-one lessons help you set realistic goals, avoid common pitfalls and develop a writing voice that feels truly yours.
