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:

• Fiction: long and short narratives that invent characters, settings and storylines.
• Verse: a form that relies on rhythm, metaphor and imagery to convey feeling.
• Creative non-fiction: factual writing — biographies, essays, reportage — written with artistic flair.
• Scriptwriting: writing intended to be performed, with dialogue and stage direction at its heart.
• Short forms: micro-fiction, lyrics and personal blogs that blur traditional boundaries.

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

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

Try these approaches to get going:

• Read widely: 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.
• Use prompts and exercises: experiment with character sketches and dialogue-only scenes to develop your craft.
• Edit and revise: treat the first draft as raw material and use editing to shape your real story.

One-to-one lessons help you set realistic goals, avoid common pitfalls and develop a writing voice that feels truly yours.
