“Most magazines tell their readers how to live, what to buy, and who to be. $pread Magazine, like the best forms of media and art, shows us ourselves—in ways we have not before recognized. This anthology is diverse, hilarious, intelligent, resilient, vulnerable, and sometimes frightening.“ —Melissa Febos, author of Whip Smart
“$pread is a phenomenal resource for sex worker self-determination and renegade social change. From Mumbai to Mexico City, New Orleans to New York to Phuket, this anthology examines sex work through the politicized lenses of worker solidarity, communal care and intersectional feminism. Expansive in its range and incisive in its analysis, $pread shows the ways in which sex workers build relationships and analysis across borders, expanding the possibilities for everyone.“ —Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore, author of The End of San Francisco
“Everyone needs $pread—sex workers, sex customers, sex readers, sex writers, sex thinkers, and everyone having sex.“ —Vanessa Place, author of The Guilt Project
“Whore culture at its very best. $pread is the real deal. You will so feel the love, wit, and wisdom.“ —Annie Sprinkle, PhD, sex worker turned sexologist
