Were you wondering where all the hot, intelligent, vocal, original, motivated and talented women writers are? They're probably all reading Audacia Ray's blog 'Waking Vixen' for a few pointers on how to be awesome.

Our heroine of the day edits for $pread Magazine (a glossy quarterley for sex workers and those who support their rights), can boast guest appearances in bigtime publications such as Village Voice & Time Out New York, is a regular speaker & sex worker advocate on the American university circuit and has given more article in more places than you've had dirty thoughts. It's unsurprising that such a prolific and talented lady has gleaned a swag of recognition from blog reviewers and the press, and it's probably a good thing the rewards aren't the girl-scout stitch-on kind, as Audacia is frequently naked online and would probably run out of places to sew them.

She's currently in the process of writing a book about female sexuality and the internet, “including chapters on dating/hooking up; sex blogging; sex worker advertising and networking; wives and girlfriends of partners who indulge in sexual activities online; sexual health and online support communities; and technology that enables physical sexual encounters.” If you think you have some information to share with her on these topics, Audacia invites you participate.
