You’re talented, ambitious, and full of dreams. So why can’t you get anything done?

THIS BOOK ISN’T ABOUT INSPIRATION — you already have that. It’s about turning your mess of ideas into a creative factory that works. With surreal humor, brutal honesty, and plenty of useful heuristics, Carl King shows you how to become your own producer. Learn to focus your energy, finish what you start, and bootstrap a creative career.

“Carl’s book is chock-full of practical advice — especially for creative artists to get their butts in gear. Well worth the investment!”
— Roger von Oech, author of A Whack on the Side of the Head

“Freaks and rebels — those few who think for themselves — this book is for you! While every other book is about how to make your creativity fit into the world of business, this is about how to amplify your creativity into every aspect of your life.”
— Derek Sivers, founder of CDBaby

“This book is immensely fun but definitely not flighty — it puts your aesthetic dreams into a real-world context, illuminating a path where you’ll not only creatively thrive but get a good night’s sleep doing it.”
— Mark Borchardt, director of Coven

“Like many of the people quoted on this dust cover, I have not read Carl King’s book. I am confident, however, that my review still applies: So, You’re a Creative Genius… Now What? is the best book available on modern cartography.”
— Heather Anne Campbell, writer for SNL, Rick and Morty, The Twilight Zone
