The magazine's focus was: "personal experiences and political insights" and it "contain(ed) practical information like news, features, health columns, and resources related to the sex industry." ==History== Articles were written by readers as well as by figures from academic, cultural, and literary backgrounds, most of whom are current or former sex workers. The magazine was launched on March 15, 2005 by Rachel Aimee, Rebecca Lynn, and Raven Strega.〔 ''$pread'' was based in New York City, and was sold throughout the United States and Canada at independent bookstores and via national distributors. A co-editor said, "We want the general public to become aware of issues such as the physical working conditions of sex workers and their health care and housing needs, and to start considering sex workers as real people rather than mythical beasts who only come to life when someone drops a quarter into a slot."〔(''Whore Pride'' ), Rachel Kramer Bussel, The Village Voice, January 11, 2005 Accessed March 26, 2009.

''$pread'' supported the sex work community by donating 15% of each print run to the workplaces of and the outreach organizations utilized by sex workers.
