Memoirs of a Sex Industry Survivor

Anne Bissell is the author of the Juliet West Series, and the creator of a brand new genre of fiction called FusionFiction. She is the founder of Sex Industry Survivors Anonymous, and the co-founder of Sexual Abuse Survivors in Recovery Anonymous. Her mission is to de-glamorize the global, billion dollar sex industry, which she believes is not a victimless crime. Bissell has studied women in the sex industry for nearly two decades. She has worked extensively with women in the criminal justice system with the mission to help them get out of prostitution, or “the life.”

Juliet West, the main character in Memoirs of a Sex Industry Survivor, is based on personal experiences. The character’s main goal is to expose the inter-relationship between childhood sexual abuse, promiscuity, and prostitution. Juliet West battles the secret, silent conspiracy of shame that is immobilizing women around the United States, and worldwide.

Says Bissell, “Every day, a child is exploited, every day, we look the other way. If I did not tell the truth about what happened in my lifetime as a result of my own experiences as an exploited child, it would be as if I too was looking the other way. If no one tells the truth, the exploitation will become the norm.”

Bissell has delivered a message of hope and recovery into churches, recovery homes, and jails to both prostituted survivors and victims of other sex crimes. She has launched 12-step

meetings for sexual abuse survivors in several Southern California cities, and is planning to expand meetings throughout the United States. It is her hope that the character Juliet West will inspire survivors to start groups such as the ones documented in the series.

Bissell, a third-generation writer and former technical writer in the computer industry, has a Bachelor of Arts (Visual Performing Arts/Journalism) from the University of Maryland. She has worked for well over fifteen years as a professional writer, and has also earned a certificate in writing from the University of California, San Diego. She lives with her husband and son in Southern California.
