“This collection succeeds as a vehicle for workers who have so much stigma placed upon them to define themselves on their own terms and to show readers what they can do.”

“A Whore’s Manifesto illuminates sex work—this most intimate and essential emotional labor—in all its contradictions, complexities, and conundrums. When you take the time to actually listen to sex workers when they talk about their lives, you will learn that sex work is every bit as painful and creative and vexing and beautiful as being human.” —Lola Davina, author of the Thriving in Sex Work series

“An amazing collage of sex worker stories that speaks to the heart of the business. Avoiding the stale narratives that plague the industry and limit us to a bubble of the imitation hookers we’ve seen on TV, these stories expose the true grit, diversity, heart, and stone cold reality of what it means to be in the world’s most notorious business.”

“A Whore’s Manifesto brings aesthetic and experiential distinctiveness to themes around sex work as an occupation, an identity and a justice movement. This book evolves sex work authored literature as we know it.” —Amber Dawn, author of How Poetry Saved My Life: A Hustler’s Memoir
