Real Artists Don’t Starve: Timeless Strategies for Thriving in the New Creative Age
Have you heard it said that creatives should wait for inspiration? How about the one that says it’s selling out if an artist strategizes to profit off of their work? Or that a true artist works alone? In Real Artists Don’t Starve, author and creativity expert Jeff Goins has set out to replace these false narratives and replace them with timeless strategies for thriving as a creative and debunking the myth of the starving artist.From graphic designers and writers to artists and business professionals, creatives already know that no one is born an artist. Instead, those who have entered a creative field have already utilized the imagination in fundamental ways in order to accomplish what they have thus far. And contrary to popular myth, Goins believes their artistic temperament has actually given them a competitive advantage in the marketplace.Through inspiring anecdotes of successful creatives both past and present, Goins explores the tension every creative person and organization faces in an effort to blend the inspired life with a practical path to success. Being creative isn’t a disadvantage for success; rather, it is a powerful tool to be harnessed.

“Jeff Goins has established himself as a fresh and dynamic voice inspiring us to get out of our own way and produce our best work. Real Artists Don’t Starve is the work of angels: a book every aspiring writer, artist, and creative must read.”
–STEVEN PRESSFIELD, bestselling author of The War of Art
“Anyone trying to make a living from their creative work will find much to steal here.”
–AUSTIN KLEON, author of Steal Like an Artist
“Jeff puts to rest the myth of the starving artist. Artists not only deserve to be well rewarded, but there are more opportunities than ever for them to make it happen. This book is not only the blueprint, it’s also Jeff’s personal artistic manifesto. And now it’s mine.”
–JAMES ALTUCHER, author and entrepreneur
“Goins dispels the myth that being a creative is some illusive, mysterious dimension reserved for a chosen few. A great book for anyone bogged down by old-fashioned ideas about what it takes to be a thriving artist.”
