The Craftsman Creative Book was conceived as a "write-in-public" project in the summer of 2021.

The goal is to publish a concise resource for solo creators who have been struggling to grow their businesses past the six-figure mark.

The book – which you can read as it's being written at the links above – has everything you need to improve your mindset, your systems, and your skills to become a successful, profitable creative business owner.

These are first drafts of chapters that will ultimately be edited into a final book, and the feedback from readers will inform the book along the way.

Subscribe to the email list to be a beta reader, stay updated as new chapters are released, and get a free digital copy of the book once it's published.

Get early access to the book before it's launched in 2022 and other exclusive bonuses here.
