Workman Publishing - Show Your Work

Show Your Work

Share your creative process and build an audience that discovers you

Share your process, not just your results. This book teaches you how to become findable in an overcrowded digital landscape, not through aggressive self-promotion, but through genuine generosity and transparency. Let people see your methods, your influences, your daily progress. When you document your work openly, you attract the right audience and opportunities without the awkwardness of traditional networking.

Kleon structures his approach around ten transformative rules that shift how you think about visibility. Share something small every day. Open up your cabinet of curiosities. Tell good stories about your work. Each principle comes illustrated with examples from artists, writers, and makers who've built careers by being generous with their knowledge. The advice feels immediately actionable because it focuses on sustainable daily practices rather than grand gestures.

At 224 pages in a compact 6×6 format with flaps, this paperback fits easily into your studio bag or work backpack. Perfect for creative professionals who understand their craft but struggle with the sharing part, the essential skill nobody teaches you in art school.
