Thanks to social media, the freelancer/self-employed lifestyle has been glamorised and most 9-5ers yearning for the freedom that it provides. According to Nina Karnikowski, that's just one half of the story. In this short book, she shares her own self-employment journey alongside other creatives from all over the world.

This simply written and beautifully designed volume showcases creatives in diverse crafts and trades and how they are balancing working with their hands and building an online presence to market their merchandise across the globe. All the artistes seem to emphasize the importance of just starting with their interests and with what you have, exploration and discipline.

I thought the format of this book was excellent, and very inspiring. Not too heavy, and just enough information to get you thinking about your own dream working life. The photographs were very good and really lifted the book. I loved reading about other peoples creative and successful lives, and how they got to where they are. It is about living, and for me the pictures and the format of the book made all the difference.
