Written by an escort/author over the span of a decade (September 2006 to April 2015), The Escort's Notebook reads like a unique newsfeed and/or business manual. Originally a companion blog to Brooks's other two books, now curated and updated; it stands on its own with a full range of topics from screening, to advertising, to clients, to sex work activism.

Nearly 100 insightful entries have been curated and updated (when necessary) to give the reader a truly unadulterated and open-minded glimpse at an often misunderstood career. Includes pieces that have never been publicly published before, like Amanda's side of private conversations about escort work.

As a companion blog to inform independent Internet escorts of news and bits of interest she didn't include in her other two books; the entries span from health, business, advertising, marketing, legal issues, issues with clients, personal life, and sex worker rights activism, to some of Amanda's personal stories (and mistakes). Perhaps most compelling are the small bits of news she notes which were the forerunners of the laws known as SESTA/FOSTA today.

The book has value as information for working escorts, healthy perspectives for clients, and a historical angle for anyone interested in the mostly-undocumented history of sex workers in a criminalized country, working under oppressive, changing laws. Value for current and former independent escorts, clients, allies, and the curious public.
