CAM Screenwriter Isa Mazzei Reveals Cover & Release Date for Upcoming Memoir CAMGIRL
Cam was one of the surprise genre hits of 2018, meshing techno-terror and doppelganger horror while portraying sex workers in an authentic and positive way (without sugarcoating the lifestyle’s harsh realities). The film made my personal Top 10 List of films that screened during Fantastic Fest in 2018.

Now, we’re getting word that Cam screenwriter Isa Mazzei is releasing a memoir chronicling her own experiences as a sex worker. The aptly titled Camgirl will drop this November courtesy of Rare Bird Bird Books. The announcement came with a “First Look” at the book’s cover; feast your eyes below.
Book Description:
From the “former sex worker taking Hollywood by storm” (The Daily Beast), comes a candid and hilarious memoir of sex work, shame, and self-discovery set in the colorful world of live-streaming camgirls. At twenty-three, Isa Mazzei was just like any other college graduate: broke, lacking purpose, and searching for an identity. She was also a compulsive seductress with a reputation as a slut and heartbreaker. One day, while working a low-paying retail job, she had a revelation: why not embrace her salacious image and make some money off of it? She began stripping, dancing, masturbating, playing games, making art––and broadcasting it all online for money as a camgirl. In her first month, she racked up hundreds of nightly viewers, and within a year she ranked in the top 50 girls on a site featuring tens of thousands of performers. Over the course of her career, Isa built her own business, explored BDSM, attended a porn convention, slept with a fan, and pushed herself further than she thought possible. And yet, despite her success, she struggled to fit into the community she so desperately wanted to belong to. Camgirl is a relatable look at confronting our past traumas and accepting ourselves for who we are. It masterfully explores the complexities of digital life, sexuality and the tensions between our private and public selves. Mazzei’s biting humor and raw vulnerability ensure you’ll never think about sex work—or sex—the same way again.
