About

A frank and impactful collection of twelve stories as told to our best British writers, Will You Read This, Please? is based on the lived experience of people who have faced mental illness. It shines a light on the stigma and isolation of living with mental illness while also showing the strength and resilience of the human spirit.

Join contributing author, Hafsa Zayyan (We Are All Birds of Uganda) for an open and honest conversation about mental health and the power of giving a platform to unheard voices.

This event will include an audience Q&A. After the event there will be an opportunity to get your book signed by Hafsa Zayyan.

Listen Up! We are delighted to be partnering with Colchester Samaritans and Essex Cultural Diversity Project for this very special day of events. Part of Colchester Samaritans 60th anniversary celebrations.
