WRITING

Alongside her acting work Hannah writes fiction. Some of that material is below.

Atoms of Stone

Hannah has written a collection of short stories for children and adults called “Atoms of Stone”. The collection uses metaphors about small things to explore big questions about finding connection, meaning and inner strength, especially in times of adversity and isolation. Some examples of the stories are below, alongside some illustrations which have been completed to accompany them. If you are interested in reading more, do be in touch with Hannah via the contact, and she will be happy to speak more and send more examples if needed.
