WORKSHOPS
Our online courses have been created specifically for sex workers who want to learn more about writing publishable articles. If you’re a complete beginner or an experienced writer trying to navigate the world of writing and publishing as a sex worker, our online workshops will be able to help you take the next steps to getting published.
Working in the sex industry can be, at times, isolating and the first time pitching or submitting work to publications can be daunting, particularly when you don’t know the editor’s stance on sex work. Our online workshops hope to make that process a little bit easier.

How to write a feature article
How to pitch to a publication
A list of sex worker friendly publications
Writing as a sex worker using a pseudonym
How to reach out to sources
What to include in an email to a source
