Don't Forget to pre-order We Need Your Art, out 11th of March in e-book, audiobook, and hardback!

| 8/13/24 | Creativity 101: Perfectionism | We're coming back to a topic we talk about a lot on the podcast, Perfectionism. This time, though, we're going back to basics. What is perfectionism?

But you should come to our live course: Selling Without Selling Out | — | ||||||
| 7/29/24 | Creativity 101: Procrastination: Striking the Balance Between Big Ambitions and Achievable Goals | Most artists will procrastinate. That's just a fact. It's something people have dealt with in the past and will continue to deal with in the future. Where it becomes a problem, though, is when it holds you back from being the sort of person you want to be. We look at some common tools and techniques to help you cut through procrastination and make art with more ease and regularity. Also discussed towards the end: procrastination for Neurodivergent creatives! | — | ||||||
| 7/22/24 | Creativity 101: Journaling For Artists | Join us for our Creativity 101 series where we go back to foundational principles for being happier, more rested, and more productive artists.

In all our courses, books, and online classes we always include journaling prompts. It helps you ask yourself important questions, and find your own wisdom which you can use to overcome blocks and problems. If you're interested in learning more, you can get a free copy of Amie's Journaling Compendium when you sign up for her newsletter on substack. | — | ||||||

| 6/24/24 | Elitism in the Arts | Today we're talking about people who think making art is only for the special few, who think you need double decker doctorates or generational talent if you want to create.

We also give you an update on our MUSCLES! Did you want to come to come to one of Amie's live workshops but don't live in California? Our hosts, A Writing Room, are offering a livestream of the San Francisco event on June 1st! Replay included. | — | ||||||
| 5/6/24 | Are Books Dying Out? | Today we're responding to a series of articles that have gone viral over the last couple of weeks. They're all about the publishing industry, and whether or not it's dying out. Included: how big is the market for books? Is it growing or shrinking? Are publishers profitable? Is it even worth writing books anymore? What about indie books, self-publishing, e-books, and audio? What do publishers get right and what do they get wrong. James says the C word twice and apologises to all the Americans for being Australian. Main sources: No One Buys Books by Elle Griffin People Buy Books, Publishing Is Thriving, and Substack Will Never Replace Books, by Brooke Warner which also links to several other great pieces. The one we used most heavily was: Yes, People Do Buy Books, by Lincolm Michel | — | ||||||
| 4/29/24 | Our Biggest Failures and What We've Learned From Them | Failure is non negotiable. So how can learn and grow from our failures? We share some of our failures, what they taught us, how we dealt with them at the time, and what we think of them now. Included: dealing with rejection from gatekeepers, why failure should excite us, letting ourselves be upset, and more! There are still tickets to both of our US workshops! | — | ||||||
| 4/23/24 | There's Nothing Wrong with Making Money from Art | Another spice one provoked by some online discourse. Is it wrong to make money from our art? Does making art with the intention to sell it sully it? It's a strong no from us. Listen to learn why! Don't forget we have two workshops in California coming up. LA on the 25th of May San Francisco on the 1st of June Both are going to be 5 hours long (including a lunch break), with teaching, QandA, journaling, and a chance to mingle with other artists. Cheapest tickets start at $50. | — | ||||||
