The roller coaster of the creative process can be both exhilarating and exhausting, but it is a lot more manageable when you know you are not alone.

Creative pursuits-whether a paid profession, a side hustle, or a leisure activity-can bring joy and meaning to the lives of artists and audiences. But they also bring challenges of motivation, confidence, blocks, and the realities of rejection. Creative Resilience provides guidance for anyone navigating these challenges from those who have been there.

Author Erica Ginsberg includes relatable real-world examples from creatives across disciplines, ages, and stages of their careers, including dancers, musicians, writers, painters, and filmmakers interviewed specifically for Creative Resilience. The author cites her experiences as an artist and arts administrator along with a mix of humor, linguistic reframing, and reflective exercises to give readers tools to manage aspects of the creative process and creative life, including time management, dealing with creative blocks, procrastination, self-confidence, and many other such challenges.
