Welcome to another episode of Writes4Women. This one is a mashup between a Heart of Writing, Craft of Writing and New Release episode featuring debut author, Hannah Bent. Hannah's book, When Things Are Alive They Hum has recently been released to great critical acclaim. Hannah was born and raised in Hong Kong. She completed her Bachelor of Arts in Fine Art Film and Photography at Central St. Martin's School of Art and Design in London. She undertook post-graduate study in both directing and screenwriting at the Australian Film and Television and Radio School, and has a Master's in Creative Writing from the University of Technology in Sydney. In 2013 Hannah was the recipient of the Ray Koppe Young Writers award which included a residency at Varuna, where she worked on the manuscript for When things Are Alive They Hum. She is one of the first authors to be published by a brand new publishing house set up in Sydney last year, Ultimate Press. When things Are Alive They Hum is both heart wrenching and heart warming, a beautifully written novel which draws heavily on autobiographical elements of Hannah's life and her relationship with her sister Camilla, who has Down Syndrome. Pam chats to Hannah about the inspiration for the book, her writing process and her experiences as a debut author.
