 Ducornet is known for her writing characterized by motifs of nature, Eros, abusive authority, subversion, and the creative imagination.Ducornet hand writes the drafts of her books with pen and ink and when writing, Ducornet does not begin with a set plot but rather derives her stories from the hearts of her subjects.In Ducornet's first book, "The Butcher’s Tales", she dealt with ideas of “conveying moral understanding, a visceral need to confront abusive Authority in its many forms, and to fully engage the beautiful”, all themes that reoccur in her later work.
