I’m Molly B. Simmons
The “B” stands for Beatrice.
Part hustler, part sweetheart—I’m a writer, editor and co-founder of Working Girls Press with poet Emily Marie Passos Duffy. Our first publication is The Holy Hour: An Anthology of Sex Work, Magic, and the Divine, which is currently available for sale here. Our second publication, I Hate My Job: Thots on Sex Work, Labor, and Capitalism, was successfully funded on Kickstarter, and you can sign up to be notified about the book’s release here!
Partners in Crime: A Guidebook to Loving Relationships for Sex Workers and their Partners is HERE and available as a FREE community download! I hope you’ll give it a read. <3
The Kissing Booth is my personal archive of essays, poetry, photography, zines, and video content. Select pieces are available for free, and the remainder are for members only.
My former projects are my relationship advice column for Petit Mort Magazine and volunteering with Sex Work Survival Guide - the full video from our 2024 conference is now live on our YouTube page! One of the original founders of SWOP Brooklyn in 2019, I remain dedicated to serving my community in all the ways that I can, and strive to be a community resource for sex workers in New York City and nationally. My door is open for any sex worker who needs help accessing community or safety resources.
If you’d like to know more about my work, commission me for a piece, or are interested in an interview please email me a molly.b.simmons@gmail.com .
