About this listen

In this episode of Tell me more I talk to Joyia Fitch.


Joyia works in TV, film, theatre and events, as an actress, casting assistant and hostess. She won the Breakthrough Scholarship for Memoir Writers with Curtis Brown Creative in 2024 and received a London Writers Award with Spread the Word for Narrative Non-Fiction in 2021.

Working with Clare Mackintosh, she wrote Of Sound Mind. Mostly. which is included in the anthology Will You Read This, Please? edited by Joanna Cannon (Borough Press, May 2023).


We discuss Joiya’s time in a cult, how she got in and more importantly how she got out. She gives me a very honest account of what it was like at every stage and the work that is ongoing in her life to come to terms with what happened.

There is also mention of self harm and suicide so please bear that in mind

Joyia is currently in the process of writing a book about her experience and I can’t wait to read it.


Will you read this, please? The book can be found on the link below.
