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

You don’t need to be a genius, just be generous with what you know.

Show Your Work!: 10 Ways to Share Your Creativity and Get Discovered by Austin Kleon is a must-read guide for artists, creators, and entrepreneurs who want to build an audience by being open, authentic, and helpful. Instead of waiting for a “big break,” Kleon encourages readers to share their process, not just the polished product—because people love to see how things are made.

With bite-sized insights, clever illustrations, and practical advice, this book teaches you how to embrace self-promotion without feeling pushy, connect with others through storytelling, and turn your creative journey into something others can learn from and be inspired by.

Perfect for writers, designers, musicians, or anyone doing meaningful work, Show Your Work is the best book for those looking to grow their influence, stay motivated, and build community—one post, idea, or share at a time.
