These are the genres most commonly explored by aspiring writers:

• Verse: writing shaped by line breaks, rhythm and figurative language.
• Narrative non-fiction: memoirs, personal essays and travel writing told with literary craft.
• Drama and screenwriting: writing intended to be performed, with dialogue and stage direction at its heart.
• Short forms: flash fiction, song lyrics, journals and experimental writing.

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.

A structured beginner's plan looks like this:

• Read widely: expose yourself to many styles so you can recognise what you want to emulate.
• Establish a routine: consistency matters more than length — a small habit yields big results over time.
• Try writing exercises: photo prompts, first-line challenges and timed sprints unlock ideas when you feel stuck.
• Rewrite your drafts: treat the first draft as raw material and use editing to shape your real story.
