Summary
‘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.
Edited by Joanna Cannon, the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Trouble with Goats and Sheep, Three Things About Elsie and A Tidy Ending, the stories told here are powerful, resonant and heart-breaking. This is a ground-breaking and unforgettable collection, shining a light on the stigma and isolation of living with mental illness, while also showing the strength and resilience of the human spirit.

What an inspiration these brave people are
Incredible. The complexity each story recounts of experiencing mental health illnesses and navigating the NHS, is both shockingly sad and heart warming. The people behind these stories are an inspiration. The stories are told brilliantly, the narratives on point and overall an amazing book!
