I have published extensively since 2012, when I was a winner of an Arts Council England competition for new talent. This competition led to the publication of my first volume of short stories called Without Makeup and Other Stories.

Arts Council England is a national development agency for creativity and culture and a non-departmental public body of the Department for Culture and Media. Arts Council England invests in artists and organisations that make and deliver exceptional, inspirational work.

My collection Without Makeup and Other Stories was edited by writer David Belbin and published by Crystal Clear Creators. Crystal Clear Creators are a not-for-profit arts organisation devoted to developing, producing, publishing and promoting new writing.

Praise for Without Makeup and Other Stories:

“Hannah Stevens cares about how her stories are told.” - Emma Lee

“The pieces are laced with beautiful prose, allowing the reader to see the world in new ways.” - Jennifer Morris

“… these very short stories are brief, grazing glances into entirely convincing worlds, and the polished accomplishment of Stevens’ prose resonates over the few printed pages.” - Rebecca Burns
