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:

• Prose fiction: long and short narratives that invent characters, settings and storylines.
• Poetic writing: a form that relies on rhythm, metaphor and imagery to convey feeling.
• Narrative non-fiction: true stories shaped with the techniques of fiction, such as memoir and essay.
• Scriptwriting: formats designed for actors, directors and a viewing audience.
• 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.

In Rustington, expect to pay about £23/h for an hour of creative writing tuition.

Several factors influence the price:

• Whether you're working towards exams, publication or personal enjoyment
• The tutor's experience and qualifications
• How often you meet and the length of each session
• The teaching mode (in-person or video call)

Online lessons are often more affordable while remaining just as effective.

Starting creative writing can feel daunting, but a few simple habits help you build confidence quickly.

These foundations will set you on the right path:

• Read like a writer: study the books you love and notice how dialogue, pacing and description work.
• Practise daily: even a short daily session builds the discipline that turns ideas into finished pieces.
• Try writing exercises: try the "show, don't tell" exercise or describe a memory using all five senses.
• Edit and revise: revising teaches you more about writing than drafting ever will.

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