$pread, an Utne Award–winning magazine by and for sex
workers, was independently published from 2005 to 2011. This
collection features enduring essays about sex work around the
world, first-person stories that range from deeply traumatic
to totally hilarious, analysis of media and culture, and
fantastic illustrations and photos produced just for the
magazine. The book also features the previously untold story
of $pread and how it has built a wider audience in its
posthumous years. What started as a community tool and trade
magazine for the sex industry quickly emerged as the essential
guide for people curious about sex work, for independent
magazine enthusiasts, and for labor and civil rights
activists.
Rachel Aimee cofounded
$pread magazine in 2004 and was an editor-in-chief for
four and a half years. Now a parent and freelance copy editor,
she also organizes for strippers’ rights with We Are Dancers.
She lives in Brooklyn with her family.
