Overview
In his New York Times bestseller Steal Like an Artist, Austin Kleon showed readers how to unlock their creativity by āstealingā from the community of other movers and shakers. Now, in an even more forward-thinking and necessary book, he shows how to take that critical next step on a creative journeyāgetting known.
Show Your Work! is about why generosity trumps genius. Itās about getting findable, about using the network instead of wasting time ānetworking.ā Itās not self-promotion, itās self-discoveryālet others into your process, then let them steal from you. Filled with illustrations, quotes, stories, and examples, Show Your Work! offers ten transformative rules for being open, generous, brave, productive.
In chapters such as You Donāt Have to Be a Genius; Share Something Small Every Day; and Stick Around, Kleon creates a userās manual for embracing the communal nature of creativityā what he calls the āecology of talent.ā From broader life lessons about work (you canāt find your voice if you donāt use it) to the etiquette of sharingāand the dangers of oversharingāto the practicalities of Internet life (build a good domain name; give credit when credit is due), itās an inspiring manifesto for succeeding as any kind of artist or entrepreneur in the digital age.
