Writing About Sex Work

Rite Gud

In this episode, Mistress Snow, PhD joins us to talk about sex work in writing. What do writers get wrong? How do writers promote inaccurate and harmful stereotypes about sex workers? How can writers do better?

We also talk about emotional labor, how Russians have too many names, and the agony of the academic job market.
