Description

Show Your Work! by Austin Kleon is an inspiring and practical guide to getting your creative work noticed — from the author of the New York Times Bestseller Steal Like an Artist. In 10 simple, beautifully illustrated chapters, Kleon lays out a new approach to self-promotion that doesn’t feel sleazy, forced, or uncomfortable. Instead, he shows how sharing your process, your journey, and your learning openly is the most powerful way to build an audience and attract opportunities.

Kleon’s 10 principles include: you don’t have to be a genius to share something valuable, think process not product, share something small every day, open up your cabinet of curiosities, tell good stories about your work, teach what you know, don’t turn into human spam, learn to take a punch from critics, sell out when you’re ready, and stick around long enough to get noticed.

The book is short, visual, and packed with actionable ideas — designed to be read in one sitting and referenced again and again. Kleon writes for anyone who makes things — whether you’re a writer, artist, designer, developer, photographer, entrepreneur, or simply someone with ideas worth sharing.

This is an essential read for content creators, digital entrepreneurs, and brand builders across Kenya and East Africa. In a market where visibility is everything, whether you’re growing a social media following, building a personal brand, launching a product, or marketing a service, this book gives you permission and a practical framework to put yourself out there authentically.

A perfect companion to Steal Like an Artist, Rework, and Contagious.
