In his New York Times bestseller Steal Like an Artist, 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.

Show Your Work! is about why generosity trumps genius. It’s about getting findable, 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, Show Your Work! offers ten transformative rules for being open, generous, brave, productive.

In chapters such as You Don’t Have to Be a Genius; Share Something Small Every Day; and Stick Around, 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.

Aprende a promocionar tu trabajo es un libro para todas aquellas personas que rehúyen el concepto de autopromoción. Diez sencillas máximas ponen fin al mito del genio solitario y nos enseñan a darnos a conocer con osadía y generosidad. Austin Kleon nos muestra cómo la obra creativa no es un producto sino un proceso en permanente desarrollo que, al compartirse, nos permite construir un público propio y aprender a comunicarnos con él.
“No tienes que ser un genio”, “Abre tu gabinete de curiosidades”, “Enseña lo que sabes pero no te conviertas en spam humano”, “Aprende a recibir los golpes”… Con principios tan contundentes como estos, Kleon no sólo nos enseña estrategias para que nos atrevamos a mostrar nuestro trabajo, sino que nos abre un nuevo e increíble escenario —el de la comunicación— para que reflexionemos desde otra perspectiva sobre nuestra propia obra

Poet and cartoonist Austin Kleon has discovered a new way to read between the lines. Armed with a daily newspaper and a permanent marker, he constructs through deconstruction—eliminating the words he doesn't need to create a new art form: Newspaper Blackout poetry.

Highly original, Kleon's verse ranges from provocative to lighthearted, and from moving to hysterically funny, and undoubtedly entertaining. The latest creations in a long history of "found art," Newspaper Blackout will challenge you to find new meaning in the familiar and inspiration from the mundane.

Newspaper Blackout contains original poems by Austin Kleon, as well as submissions from readers of Kleon's popular online blog and a handy appendix on how to create your own blackout poetry.
