Prose and Lore: Memoir Stories About Sex Work

Prose and Lore: Memoir Stories About Sex Work

Shelby May
0/5 ( ratings)
“[The stories] that comprise this journal are straightforward without a lot of literary tropes or tricks yet their harsh and sticky realities pull readers in. A testament to Red Umbrella’s workshops, from which most of these works hail, they’re entertaining and edifying, even enlightening, at times. They are not by any means self-pitying stories but come from perspectives that are often humorous, seductive, pissed, confused, and psycho-sexually indignant.” - The Review Review

“...The goal is to reveal the nuance of sex work and to let those in the industry speak for themselves.” - DNAinfo New York

“It is not uncommon for the media to skew the perspective of those who have worked in the sex industry, painting a picture of bad and dangerous people, with real life stories often going unheard. But since 2009, the Red Umbrella Project, a nonprofit group based in Downtown Brooklyn, has been providing a venue and an outlet for unheard voices of American sex workers.” - Downtown Brooklyn
