I thought I'd pass this on:

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, whores, 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 Unpublished writers welcomed.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: October 15, 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 www.sexworkersartshow.com
