Tarts with Hearts: Sex Workers in Love will be an anthology of short stories written by sex workers. We will be selecting 12 writers to include, based on their pitches, and each contributor will be paid £300 and retain the right to republish their work elsewhere.
Money will be raised to publish this anthology through Kickstarter, where you can find more information about the project! Sign up to be notified when it goes live and share it around to help us fund the book.
Your pitch should be a story on the theme of sex workers in love. This does not need to be romance and can be about any kind of love involving a sex worker, including familial and platonic. The final story should be between 2,000 and 4,000 words, however your pitch only needs to summarize it.
Open to pitches until May 31st 2026. Writers will be chosen by June 15th!
