Selling sex is a job that many people would never consider. But for the people who do sex work, pleasure is a business that sometimes sustains them and sometimes puts them at risk. In the second issue of the Red Umbrella Project's Prose & Lore, New Yorkers who have traded sex tell true stories of lessons learned, friendships with coworkers, unpleasant bosses, bodily functions, and more that make up their experiences in the industry. "Gutsy wisdom permeates these pages. Prose & Lore brings together a keen array of lived experiences and authentic voices." - Amber Dawn, author of How Poetry Saved My Life: A Hustler's Memoir "This [journal], simply by virtue of existing, is part of a larger project to counteract the stereotypes and stigma that works to threaten those in the sex industries." - Jessie Nicole, Tits & Sass

There are as many truths about the sex trade as there are people who participate in it. In this new collection of creative nonfiction, people who've tangled with the sex industry write about the complications that arise in the mix of sex and money. From the accounts of love and loss, occupational hazards and tricks of the trade to personal stories of hope, resistance and survival, Pros(e) is a fiery collection of narratives by people who have walked the walk, and are now telling their tales. The contributions in the book were written by the participants of the Red Umbrella Project's first Becoming Writers Workshop, which took place in Fall 2012.
