    Perhaps unsurprisingly I think a lot about speculative fiction and mental health (my day job is at a mental health charity) and I thought I&amp;#39;d have a go at putting some of my thoughts down in writing in the form of a conference paper about Inner Worlds. I&amp;#39;m not quite sure what I want to say yet, but I do know I would *love* to hear from our readers and authors that we have published about this subject. 1/2
