Max by day, Sebastian by night.

Overview

Max is a 25-year-old freelance writer and aspiring novelist who seems well on his way to success in London’s cultural spheres. Yet by night, he finds a different kind of exhilaration as a sex worker with the pseudonym Sebastian, meeting men via an escorting platform. Max uses his experiences as Sebastian to fuel his stories and the worthy debut novel that he has been longing to write, finally seems within reach.

    Authors striving for authenticity in their work often engage in extensive background research, sometimes of a firsthand nature, to get things right.
