Excellent- More about Morbid Obsessions: On trans and sex worker bodies and writing fiction from the margins
In their novels Tell Me I'm Worthless and The Service, Alison Rumfitt and Frankie Miren examine the connections between the trans and sex worker rights movements, the pornographic interest in sex workers and trans women, online violence, moral panic, creative representation, and paying tribute to sex worker and trans activism through fiction. Morbid Obsessions is a necessary and important discussion about creating art as a collective struggle, with all proceeds from the sale of the book going to Babeworld and direct grants to marginalized artists.

Publisher: Cipher Press
The histories of the trans and sex worker rights movements are intricately intertwined, particularly in the UK, where it is uncommon to encounter a carceral feminist who is not also a vehement transphobe. What does it entail to write within a community that is under attack? Where, in fiction, does the boundary lie between exploring harmful ideology and humanizing it? In their novels, Tell Me I'm Worthless (Cipher Press) and The Service (Influx Press), Alison Rumfitt and Frankie Miren delve into these questions and explore the crossover in the approaches they chose to take. They cover topics such as the pornographic interest in sex workers and trans women, online violence, moral panic, creative representation, and paying tribute to sex worker and trans activism through fiction. Morbid Obsessions is a timely and essential conversation about creating art as a collective struggle. Frank, funny, and hopeful, the book features two new stories, an introduction by writer and historian Morgan M. Page, and an interview with Natalia Santana Mendes. All proceeds (after production costs) from the sale of this book will be donated to Babeworld, a collective that aims to create a more representative art world, and will be distributed directly to marginalized artists.
