Literary agent Rachel Mills has called for mental health provision for authors of memoir, as well as mental health training for the publishers and agents who work with them. In a column for The Bookseller published today (Monday, 6th February), she argued that more should be done to support memoirists, who often delve into the darkest moments of their life by necessity. However, some say the onus is not on agents and publishers, but on the authors themselves, to take responsibility.
