Hutchison employs a minimalist and introspective writing approach, characterized by:
- Concise prose with vivid imagery, often exploring themes of identity and isolation.
- Frequent use of fragmented sentences to mirror human thought patterns, avoiding elaborate dialogue tags.
- Deep psychological character studies, building tension through internal conflicts rather than external action.
- Subtle social commentary woven into personal narratives, favoring ambiguity over direct statements.
