From Brandon Stosuy, cofounder of the Creative Independent, an
interactive guide to navigating disappointments and finding happy
accidents in a creative life, filled with advice from artists
across disciplinesThe third in a series of three interactive guides
to the practical and emotional sides of living a creative life, How
to Fail Successfully tackles the inevitable challenges that come
with making work and releasing it into the world. Whether you are
confronting "failure" in the form of fear, imposter syndrome, or
negative feedback, this book provides insights and exercises to
help you reframe these vulnerabilities as vital components to your
process. Working artists from all walks of life-such as musicians,
authors, filmmakers, dancers, designers, and visual artists-offer
their advice throughout the book, providing ample evidence that
even the most accomplished among us deal with ongoing
self-doubt.Part memoir, part zine, part "how-to," and part oral
history, in How to Fail Successfully author and curator Brandon
Stosuy taps into his own experiences and an incredible network of
talent to provide diverse (and diverging) perspectives on how
success and failure are intertwined. Taken as a stand-alone guide
or the finale of a series (including Make Time for Creativity and
Stay Inspired), this book provides the support you need to take
creative risks and make work on your terms. The book also includes
quotes by Jason Reynolds (YA author), Bjoerk (musician), Matthew
Day Jackson (visual artist), Josh Fadem (comedian), Hanif
Abdurraqib (poet and author), Sasha Grey (actor and DJ), Sigrid
Lauren (choreographer), and many more.
