Curators of the anthology Samara Linton and Rianna Walcott cut ties with the publisher in respone, tweeting: “In 2018, we published The Colour of Madness: Exploring BAME Mental Health in the UK with Stirling Publishing. We have come across some information which means we can no longer associate ourselves with the publishing company nor its director Tabatha Stirling. The Colour of Madness was one of her first ever titles, so we found out that we were basically guinea pigs.”
