TABLOID Press is a publishing house founded by Zo Darsee and Nadia Marcus in the Berlin summer of 2014.

Cord draws its breath from the silverfish — a creature of shadow, slipping through cracks and seams, ever fleeing the light. It writhes through bathtubs, beneath kitchen tiles, along the damp silence of basements and drains. The form also echoes cable protection: a sheath, a skin, a symbol of containment and quiet defense. Cord inhabits the boundary between the hidden and the exposed — a fragile conduit pulsing with unseen life.

Long ago, there lived the Aquamarine Queen of Uranus, aka: Silent Flame
According to legend her body shimmered with ice-fire (a fusion of cryo-plasma and living crystal), her voice could bend the rings of Uranus into beats and some even believe she was born from the core of the planet itself, when a comet of unknown origin struck directly into the heart of its Whole! She ruled the coastlines beneath the methane clouds, where an ancient civilization had long since dwelled in secret….
Until now deep ‘Probes’ (experts in the field) have been sent to Uranus and continue to report strange transmissions…thumping, rhythmic sounds echoing beneath the clouds. And every year, the pulse returns.
All hail the queen of Uranus! She cums in peace!!

Sex workers have long been central figures in literature—written about, mythologized, silenced, and criminalised. But when sex workers write themselves into history—through memoirs, fiction, poetry, and hybrid forms—the result is a radical reshaping of narrative power. This workshop explores how sex workers and their allies have used the blurred space between fact and fiction to reclaim voice, challenge stigma, and document lived experience.
Focusing on historical and contemporary texts by and about sex workers, Writing Sexual Subcultures: Sex Work, invites participants to engage with writing that resists binary thinking—about genre, morality, and identity.
Matt Skully is a writer, curator, performer, sex worker and event producer who has worked within the sex and fetish industry for 20 years.
