$pread Magazine is an independent magazine by and for sex workers and those who support their rights. Articles are written by readers as well as figures from academic, cultural, and literary backgrounds, most of whom are current or former sex workers. The magazine was launched on March 15th, 2005 by Rachel Aimee, Rebecca Lynn, and Raven Strega. By the end of its first year, the quarterly magazine had received the Utne Independent Press Award for Best New Title." [1]

An example of a typical issue of $pead (Issue 2.4, Winter, 2007.) Inside articles include "American Brothel: A Photo Essay" and "The New Currency in Stripping".

$pread has a focus on personal experiences and political insights and contains practical information such as news, features, health columns, and resources related to the sex industry. $pread supports the sex work community by donating 15% of each print run to the work places of and the outreach organizations utilized by sex workers.

Because $pread is part of the sex workers rights movement, it has been criticized by feminists who believe that sex work is inherently degrading.

$pread is based in New York City, and is sold throughout the United States and Canada at independent bookstores and via national distributors.
