General Analysis

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Show Your Work! by Austin Kleon is a guide for creatives who want to share their work and get discovered. The book emphasizes that it's not enough to be good; you must also be findable. The author encourages readers to share their process, not just their finished products, in order to attract an audience. He also explores the idea of "scenius" – the idea that great ideas often come from a group of creative people – and encourages readers to be part of such a group. The book also stresses the importance of being an amateur and learning in the open, as well as documenting and sharing your work on a daily basis. It encourages people to build a presence online, to give credit where it is due, and to tell good stories, while being aware of how people perceive you and your work. The book goes on to examine how to deal with criticism, how to turn fans into patrons, and the importance of continuous learning and change in a creative life.
