There are many branches of creative writing, and each one offers a different way to express ideas and emotions.

• Prose fiction: novels, novellas and short stories built around imagined characters and plots.
• Poetry: a condensed, rhythmic form that uses imagery and sound to express emotion.
• Creative non-fiction: true stories shaped with the techniques of fiction, such as memoir and essay.
• Scriptwriting: writing for stage, screen, radio or podcast formats.
• Short forms: songwriting, journaling and short experimental pieces that mix genres.

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

Getting started with creative writing comes down to building a routine and giving yourself permission to experiment.

Try these approaches to get going:

• Read like a writer: explore novels, short stories and poetry across genres to absorb how authors craft their work.
• Write regularly: set aside 15 to 30 minutes each day for free writing or short exercises.
• Use prompts and exercises: try the "show, don't tell" exercise or describe a memory using all five senses.
• Edit and revise: leave a draft for a day, then return to refine flow, clarity and word choice.

An experienced creative writing teacher tailors exercises to your interests and helps you build a portfolio step by step.
