Description

In his New York Times bestseller Steal Like an Artist; Austin Kleon showed readers how to unlock their creativity by ldquo;stealingrdquo; 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 journeymdash;getting known. Show Your Work! is about why generosity trumps genius. Itrsquo;s about getting findable; about using the network instead of wasting time ldquo;networking.rdquo; Itrsquo;s not self-promotion; itrsquo;s self-discoverymdash;let 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 Donrsquo;t Have to Be a Genius; Share Something Small Every Day; and Stick Around; Kleon creates a userrsquo;s manual for embracing the communal nature of creativitymdash; what he calls the ldquo;ecology of talent.rdquo; From broader life lessons about work (you canrsquo;t find your voice if you donrsquo;t use it) to the etiquette of sharingmdash;and the dangers of oversharingmdash;to the practicalities of Internet life (build a good domain name; give credit when credit is due); itrsquo;s an inspiring manifesto for succeeding as any kind of artist or entrepreneur in the digital age.
