The Creative Professional: A Business Book for Creative People

by Howard Blumenthal

Overview

People who work in creative careers represent 1 in 25 U.S. workers--we're among the oldest professions, and, in terms of the U.S. economy, a large contributor. And yet, we don't get the respect we deserve. This is the first business book specifically written for people who make a living in the creative world. The book covers self-assessment (your own talents, skills, career path), ways in which you can make money, the creative process, workflow, overcoming obstacles, the way the creative brain works, legal and finance issues, and the professional and personal motivations associated with building and managing a creative career. Written by an author who has produced hundreds of hours of television, produced many websites, and has hired hundreds of creative professionals.
