Sinclair Sexsmith

SINCLAIR SEXSMITH (mrsexsmith.com) used to dictate stories to their parents to write down before they learned to read at age 3 ½, and has been writing ever since. They began organizing online in 1996, writing about about identity, queer culture, feminism, and self-awareness, and now teach workshops on BDSM, gender, writing, and getting the sex life you want. They produce the award-winning website Sugarbutch Chronicles: The Sex, Gender, and Relationship Adventures of a Kinky Queer Butch Top at sugarbutch.net since 2006. Contributing to more than fifteen anthologies, including five Best Lesbian Erotica editions, Persistence: Still Butch and Femme, and Take Me There: Trans and Genderqueer Erotica, Mr. Sexsmith is also on the board of the upcoming 2013 BUTCH Voices conference, and serves the Body Electric School as a coordinator. They are the guest editor of Best Lesbian Erotica 2012 and editor of Say Please: Lesbian BDSM Erotica, both from Cleis Press. Sinclair prefers the pronouns they/them and the masculine honorific “Mr.”
