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.
• Verse: a form that relies on rhythm, metaphor and imagery to convey feeling.
• Literary non-fiction: memoirs, personal essays and travel writing told with literary craft.
• Plays and screenplays: formats designed for actors, directors and a viewing audience.
• Other genres: 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.

The cost depends on:

• Your current level (beginner, intermediate or advanced)
• The tutor's experience and qualifications

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.
• Establish a routine: even a short daily session builds the discipline that turns ideas into finished pieces.
• Start with prompts: photo prompts, first-line challenges and timed sprints unlock ideas when you feel stuck.
• Polish your work: revising teaches you more about writing than drafting ever will.

Working with a creative writing tutor accelerates your progress by giving you personalised feedback on every piece.
