Creative Careers is an engaging, user-friendly guide to the business side of the arts that provides creative students with the knowledge and skills to find a fulfilling, challenging, and successful career that incorporates their distinctive strengths. While many students of the arts are energetic, innovative, pioneering, and ambitious, many are not sure how to translate their imaginative talents into a successful living. This groundbreaking first edition text offers both resources and reassurances to those who wish to bolster their artistic skills with business skills to achieve on a financial level, an intellectual level, and, most importantly, a creative level.

The only text of its kind designed specifically for students of the arts, Creative Careers emphasizes the importance of learning in creative classes and helps students see the advantages of involvement in lifelong learning. While the text delves into the basics of career management, including job hunting tips, branding, self-promotion, time management, people skills, and money management, the book also shows students how to work in a creative business environment without losing their individuality.
