Amanda Brooks

Guide Note

Former prostitute Amanda Brooks is the author of a series of non-fiction books called The Internet Escort's Handbook chronicling lessons learned during her 2.5 years in the sex industry.

The series so far contains two entries - The Foundation, which covers the basics of working as an escort, and Advertizing and Marketing, with tips on how to sell one's sexual services online. Brooks has retired from prostitution and remains unapologetic about her former lifestyle, calling it her "perfect job."

Her books teach about the need for working girls to thoroughly investigate clients before agreeing to meet up with them. Brooks claims to have rejected many potential johns after screening them online. She has still had clients refuse to pay her fees on occasion.
