My 2025 gift guide begins with three important items:
1. If you’d like signed and personalized copies of my books, I’ll sign as many as you buy, but to get them in time for Christmas, order from Bookpeople before December 14th.
2. I’m offering 20% off paid subscriptions to the newsletter for the rest of the year.
3. I have two t-shirt/hoodie/onesie designs for sale at Cotton Bureau.
You can read the rest here.
It’s what folks in the book industry call “Dads & Grads” season. Here are two ideas:
1. Give them one of my books with a few crisp bills as a bookmark. (When in doubt about which book of mine to give, I suggest the deluxe hardcover anniversary edition of Steal Like an Artist.)
3. Buy something off my gear list, last year’s gift guide, or my yearly list of favorite books.
Today’s newsletter is a holiday gift guide that begins with my books:
The book I think would be the most help to almost anybody in the next year is Keep Going, my guide to staying creative in chaotic times. The hardcover of my million-seller Steal Like an Artistand the matching journal are perennial favorites, especially for younger people. Show Your Work! is for people trying to get their work noticed or their business going. If you know an audiobook lover, you can get the whole trilogy for the cost of one book. If you want a “deep cut” for the true weirdo on your list, gift a copy of my CIA-does-haiku poetry collection, Newspaper Blackout. (If you’d like my books signed and personalized for the holidays, order by December 11th from my friends at Bookpeople.)
It ends with the news that paid subscriptions are 20% off until Dec. 25.
