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

Austin Kleon

Show Your Work! is a practical guide for creatives, entrepreneurs, and professionals who want their work to be seen—without feeling fake, loud, or salesy.

In this book, bestselling author Austin Kleon explains a simple but powerful idea: you don’t need to be a genius to get discovered—you need to be generous. Instead of hiding your work or waiting for perfection, Kleon encourages you to share your process, your progress, and what you’re learning along the way.

This isn’t about self-promotion. It’s about self-discovery. By opening up your creative process and sharing small pieces consistently, you allow others to connect with your work, learn from it, and grow with you.

Filled with illustrations, short chapters, real-life examples, and clear advice, Show Your Work! offers ten practical rules for building visibility and meaningful connections in the digital age—whether you’re an artist, writer, business owner, or creator of any kind.

In this book, you’ll learn how to:

Get noticed without being pushy

Share your work even if you’re still learning

Use the internet wisely to build real connections

Develop your voice by using it

Stay consistent and visible over time

Show Your Work! is an inspiring reminder that creativity thrives in the open—and that sharing your work can be the key to finding your audience.
