Reviews
‘Hannah was a dedicated, conscientious student, who responded well to feedback and developed significantly over the two years. Throughout the course she made productive contributions to the learning environment that nurtured the work of other students as well as her own. She is a talented writer and I expect to hear more of her in the future.’

‘Hannah Retallick's prose draws the reader straight in. She has a strong, consistent voice and her writing is empathetic, subtle and evocative. Definitely an author to watch!’

‘Hannah was my student on two modules when she was doing her OU degree, the second of which was Creative Writing. The qualities that I saw in her then – her engagement, application, conscientiousness, imagination and, crucially, her lively, skilful way with words – have done nothing but grow in vigour and flair. She has gone from strength to strength, and in her ‘acorn to oak’ journey, she is already well on her way as a writer, a wordsmith with a great future ahead. I wish her every success.’
