Show Your Work!: 10 Ways to Share Your Creativity and Get Discovered -- Austin K

<p>In his <i>New York Times</i> bestseller <i>Steal Like an Artist</i>, Austin Kleon showed readers how to unlock their creativity by "stealing" 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 journey--getting known. <p/><i> Show Your Work </i> is about why generosity trumps genius. It's about getting <i>findable</i>, about using the network instead of wasting time "networking." It's not self-promotion, it's self-discovery--let others into your process, then let them steal from you. Filled with illustrations, quotes, stories, and examples, <i>Show Your Work </i> offers ten transformative rules for being open, generous, brave, productive. <p/> In chapters such as<b> You Don't Have to Be a Genius</b>; <b>Share Something Small Every Day</b>; and <b>Stick Around</b>, Kleon creates a user's manual for embracing the communal nature of creativity-- what he calls the "ecology of talent." From broader life lessons about work (you can't find your voice if you don't use it) to the etiquette of sharing--and the dangers of oversharing--to the practicalities of Internet life (build a good domain name; give credit when credit is due), it's an inspiring manifesto for succeeding as any kind of artist or entrepreneur in the digital age.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Austin Kleon<br><b>Publisher:</b> Workman Publishing<br><b>Published:</b> 03/06/2014<br><b>Pages:</b> 224<br><b>Bindi
