Creator Book Club: Spring 2025 ⭐️
Welcome to the Creator Book Club!
Our First Read: Show Your Work! by Austin Kleon
Hey everyone!
We’re kicking off our first-ever Creator Book Club with Show Your Work! by Austin Kleon—a book that’s all about putting yourself out there, sharing your process, and building a creative community (aka, everything we love to see in creators!).
How It Works 👇
We’ve organized WhatsApp groups based on time zones and geography to make it easier for everyone to connect. Check your email or DM for your invite!
We’ll follow a 6-week schedule (below!) with milestone chapters to discuss along the way.
Each week, we’ll have two discussion prompts—one recurring question + one specific to the chapter.
If something inspires you, drop it in the chat! We’ll highlight some of your insights in our newsletter.
🏆 Our 6-Week Reading Plan
📖 Week 1: Introduction + Chapter 1 (You Don’t Have to Be a Genius)
📖 Week 2: Chapter 2 & 3 (Think Process, Not Product & Share Something Small Every Day)
