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: novels, novellas and short stories built around imagined characters and plots.
• Poetic writing: writing shaped by line breaks, rhythm and figurative language.
• Creative non-fiction: true stories shaped with the techniques of fiction, such as memoir and essay.
• Plays and screenplays: formats designed for actors, directors and a viewing audience.
• Other genres: songwriting, journaling and short experimental pieces that mix genres.

An experienced tutor will tailor exercises to the genres you enjoy most and help you build a portfolio you're proud of.

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: explore novels, short stories and poetry across genres to absorb how authors craft their work.
• Practise daily: consistency matters more than length — a small habit yields big results over time.
• Use prompts and exercises: try the "show, don't tell" exercise or describe a memory using all five senses.
• Polish your work: revising teaches you more about writing than drafting ever will.

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