Escorts: any of you writers?

[+ friendofsheila]

Here's a SF organization related to sex workers that is looking for submissions for an anthology. I haven't visited their site or atttended any of their other events so I don't know much about them.

 

*********

Contributors wanted for an anthology of writing by sex trade workers to

be published by Soft Skull Press. All genders are encouraged to submit,

as are current or former workers from any area of the sex industry:

survival workers, strippers, ####, hustlers, pro dommes, film or print

models, escorts, etc. All kinds of takes on the industry, positive to

negative, are welcomed. Essays, narratives, and comics are all

acceptable, fiction or non. Unpublished writers welcomed.

We are looking not only for accounts of personal experience, but also

for pieces that reflect the unique position sex trade workers occupy on

the front lines of

struggles with race, class, gender, ownership, and desire.

 

 

Deadline: November 1st, 2005

Length of submissions: 1500-3500 words

Send submissions as word or .txt attachments to: swas3@juno.com

Editor: Annie Oakley

Payment: Fee and copy of the book

FOS-There are at least three 'scorts who post on this board(not regularly though)and a couple more that lurk around that are published writers on this board-and those are only the ones that I know of.

Great, another project to take me away from my blog.

Oh, so many stories to tell...! :9

 

Just curious, what might people be interested in reading about? I don't think a kiss-and-tell would be appropriate, but I'd like to know if anyone has suggestions for things they'd find interesting. I might give it a shot.
