Creative writing covers a wide range of genres and forms, each with its own techniques and conventions.

Here are the main types you'll encounter in most creative writing courses:

• Fictional storytelling: invented stories ranging from flash fiction to full-length novels.
• Poetry: writing shaped by line breaks, rhythm and figurative language.
• Creative 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.
• Other genres: flash fiction, song lyrics, journals and experimental writing.

A qualified creative writing tutor can help you discover which form best suits your voice and guide you through your first pieces.

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

This rate varies depending on several factors:

• Your current level (beginner, intermediate or advanced)
• The teacher's expertise and publishing background
• How often you meet and the length of each session
• The lesson format (online, at home or at the tutor's)

Most teachers offer a free trial lesson so you can test their approach before committing.

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:

• Build a reading habit: expose yourself to many styles so you can recognise what you want to emulate.
• Write regularly: consistency matters more than length — a small habit yields big results over time.
• Use prompts and 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.

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