Liquid Silver: An Anthology of Speculative Fiction by Sex Workers

by Mia Walsch (Editor)

What does sex work look like on a Mars colony, in a utopian solarpunk community, or a radically different, far-future Earth? What are street workers like in an urban fantasy setting? What does a magic brothel look like? How do you sugar when you’re a sentient cloud of mist? What role does sex work play in futuristic or divergent timelines?

Working Girls Press is excited to announce Liquid Silver, an anthology of speculative fiction written by sex workers. Edited by Mia Walsch, Liquid Silver promises to be an anthology unlike any other and will feature an array of new voices in the sex worker literary world. So many sex workers are nerds scattered throughout brothels, strip joints and hostess clubs, reading doorstopper fantasy books between bookings or scribbling sentences about space in the notebooks they stash in their lockers. Sex workers across the globe also think critically and imaginatively about what the world could look like in the future, on different planets, in alternate realities, and we want to create a space for them to bring these thoughts to life.

This anthology features the work by 20 contributors who build worlds and explore possibilities at the limits of our imaginations, including interspecies encounters, speculative technology, and interplanetary travel.
