review 1: I was expecting this to be a bit of hipster self-help hucksterism, more “show your work by selling other people on the idea they can show their work, just like me!” than anything else. That's more a comment on me than the book though. It’s not bad, at all. It's a quick read, easily digested, with some rules of thumb you can take or leave, about sharing and creativity. Kleon perceives a difference between self-promotion and sharing which I like and which I think would be useful to keep in mind for anyone who creates stuff.
review 2: I loved this book--it was a practical, insightful, inspiring, compassionate kick in the pants. It was just what I needed to read as someone who wants to take my writing and my writing workshops to the next level. Kleon show
... mores how and why creative types need to have an online presence, and the biggest part of that is "showing your work," or revealing what goes on in the making of your art. I was chomping at the bit by the halfway mark, ready to implement his sound and pithy advice. less
