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:

• Prose fiction: long and short narratives that invent characters, settings and storylines.
• Poetry: a condensed, rhythmic form that uses imagery and sound to express emotion.
• Narrative non-fiction: factual writing — biographies, essays, reportage — written with artistic flair.
• Scriptwriting: writing for stage, screen, radio or podcast formats.
• Hybrid and short forms: songwriting, journaling and short experimental pieces that mix genres.

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

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:

• Read like a writer: study the books you love and notice how dialogue, pacing and description work.
• Write regularly: set aside 15 to 30 minutes each day for free writing or short exercises.
• Try writing exercises: experiment with character sketches and dialogue-only scenes to develop your craft.
• 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.
