Some people who deal with mental illness have the opportunity and ability to write about it, but many do not and it was those people, those unread stories, I wanted to find JOANNA CANNON
How do we give a voice to those who so often remain unheard Will You Read This, Please is a frank and impactful collection of twelve stories as told to our best British writers, based on the lived experience of people who have faced mental illness in the UK.
