About

My name is Hanne Arts and I'm a budding author. I currently live in England, but previously lived in Belgium, Holland, Hungary and Slovakia.

Writing has been my passion since I was seven years old, and I am proud to announce that, at the age of seventeen, I made my first big step into the publishing world by putting out my first full-length novel titled “Just Perfect,” followed three years later by its sequel, "Red Ribbons." For three years, I worked on each book, both of which find their roots in the difficult times I have gone through, struggling from depression and an eating disorder (anorexia). Feeling the need to help others by sharing my personal struggles, I believe it would be incredible to share my works with the largest audience possible.

I'm a bookworm intent on making a similar impact on the lives of my readers as some of my favourite authors have done for me. Before publishing my books, I participated three times in Short Story Competition Hungary, for which I received the Short List Award in 2011, Honorable Mention in 2012, and Second Place in 2013. I was shortlisted in the Nancy Thorp Poetry Competition in 2013 and Junior Author Short Story Competition in 2014. I have previously published two pieces in The Helix Literary Magazine and another four pieces in Voices De La Luna. In July 2016 I joined my first NaNoWriMo and managed to reach a word count of 50,000 words in one month! Since then, I have entered almost every year.


Over the course of my writing career, I've also published numerous poems and stories in the Helix Literary Magazine and the Voices de la Luna Magazine. I co-authored and translated 'The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing' and contributed a story to the compilation 'The Recovery Letters.'

In 2015, I set up my recovery YouTube channel. With so many projects ongoing, I hope you will stick with me to celebrate these major events! Thank you all for the incredible support x
