Stoya has been a pornographer since 2006 and a writer since 2012. She has written for the New York Times, the Guardian, Playboy, and others. She has acted in Serbian sci-fi feature Ederlezi Rising and two of Dean Haspiel’s plays, in Brooklyn and Manhattan. She lives with two cats and a platonic domestic partner named Steve.

“She casually drops one-liners that could be essays in themselves.” —James Reith, The Guardian
