e.b. cotenord is a sex worker in Chicago. She also writes.
 

Her essays have appeared in Sky Island Journal, HerStry, The Metaworker, and 34th Parallel. "The Transaction" was nominated for a Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net in 2021.

She hosted The eXXXistential Podcast and The Pro's Prose, both built from the same material. She is a mother and a recovering addict, and she is querying eXXXistentially Naked, a memoir where she writes about her life. Because most people with strong opinions about sex workers have never (knowingly) met one.

The reality is duller and more sentimental than the opinions allow. There is far less sex in it than anyone expects and far more humor.
